The Skinny
Connecticut enters this matchup as the heaviest favorite on the slate. While it would seem to make their top fantasy players like Jonquel Jones and, Courtney Williams and Alyssa Thomas more appealing for fantasy purposes, it's also worth keeping in mind that this game has the biggest blowout potential. Such a scenario could decrease the value of starters on both squads in a game that's also pegged as the lowest over/under.
Atlanta will need to fill in for Alex Bentley, who has averaged nearly 23 minutes per game off the bench this season. Renee Montgomery did just that in the first game without Bentley on Wednesday, turning in season-best marks for points (16), assists (nine) and rebounds (six). She will likely be counted on for big minutes again Friday.

The Skinny
One of the biggest price discrepancies on the slate lies with Shenise Johnson. FanDuel has her priced up as if she's going to play, while DraftKings comes in at 5.4 percent cheaper in terms of the budget. The real question here is if and how much Johnson will play. She's off the injury report for a second straight game, but she didn't check in to Wednesday's game against Atlanta. She played 21 minutes in the season opener and another 11 prior to suffering the knee injury. It's possible she would see limited run if she returns given the extent of her layoff, but Johnson could be a lineup filler option in tournaments on DraftKings for those looking for a cheap dart. Natalie Achonwa is also a question mark for the game. If she can't go, look for Teaira McCowan to start again after posting her first career double-double (14 points and 15 rebounds) in her first career start Wednesday.
This game clears the other two in terms of over/under by almost 10, and the Sky are a big reason why. They play among the faster paces in the league and fall in a subpar category (fifth-worst) in terms of defensive efficiency. Indiana checks in as the worst team in the latter, playing its own part in the expected high-scoring affair. Allie Quigley and Courtney Vandersloot log huge minutes to hold down a banged up backcourt, averaging at or above 30 minutes per game. Vandersloot is coming off a season-high 25 points and figures to be a major contributor again Friday. Cheyenne Parker has played efficiently off the bench, posting two double-doubles and double-digit point in four of the last five games. Her consistent production could earn her some added run.

The Skinny
While Candace Parker made her debut Tuesday after being sidelined to open the season with a hamstring injury, it was far from the performance she likely envisioned. As a result, Parker comes in as a much more budget-friendly option on DraftKings that should make her worthy of consideration Friday. It's tough to see her repeating Tuesday's showing and she could see expanded minutes in her second game back. Alana Beard remains a question mark for the contest, so it's worth keeping an eye on her status as the contest approaches.
Jordin Canada will miss her second straight game for the Storm due to a bone bruise in her left knee, leaving Blake Dietrick and Shavonte Zellous to see additional minutes. Dietrick doesn't present much upside from a fantasy perspective, but Zellous should draw some attention for her 14-point effort in 19 minutes last Sunday. Natasha Howard has blazed her way to 19.6 points per game thus far and has tallied 20 or more points in three of the last four contests to lead the way for Seattle.
