DraftKings
- Nneka Ogwumike ($9,900)
- Kahleah Copper ($8,500)
- Jewell Loyd ($10,900)
Ogwumike dropped 27 points in her last game and should shine against the Storm's struggling defense. Copper topped 34 DK points in back-to-back games and has a good chance to pad her stats at the foul line against the Fever. Loyd tallied 50.2 DK points in her last outing and is averaging 28.8 points per game.
Value Plays
- Jade Melbourne ($4,200)
- Alysha Clark ($5,200)
Melbourne has seen her minutes increase over the last couple of games, and she notched 25 DK points in her last outing. Clark is averaging 21.1 minutes per game, while shooting 48.5 percent from the field.
FanDuel
- A'ja Wilson ($9,000)
- NaLyssa Smith ($7,300)
- Jordin Canada ($6,800)
Wilson totaled 62 DK points in the last game and is averaging 20.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.5 steals on the season. Smith has three double-doubles in the last four games, with a high of 41.1 FD points. Canada topped 30 FD points in her last three appearances and should thrive against a lackluster defense.
Value Plays
- Lexie Brown ($5,500)
- Dana Evans ($4,300)
