The Lynx are averaging a league-low 74.3 points per game and shooting 38.7 percent from the field, including just 20.8 percent from deep. They also have struggled defensively, giving up a league-most 10.8 threes per game.

The Wings average the league's second-most points and the third-most offensive rebounds per game.

The Wings are 2-1, coming off a loss in their last outing, where Arike Ogunbowale poured in a game-high 27 points. Ogunbowale has been a force on both ends of the floor, averaging 26.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 steals through three outings.

The star-studded Liberty have won two in a row after picking up a loss in their first game. Breanna Stewart put up a game-of-the-season performance in the game before last, as she finished with 45 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block.

Despite the team's troubles, Jewell Loyd delivered two big-time performances, including 30 points on 10-of-25 shooting in the last game. Ezi Magbegor had a quiet season debut but logged a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the previous outing.

DraftKings
- Arike Ogunbowale ($10,800)
- Allisha Gray ($9,900)
- Marina Mabrey ($9,500)
Arike Ogunbowale has scored 80 points through her first three games and should keep it up against the winless Lynx. Allisha Gray is averaging 5.3 free-throw attempts per game and is likely to continue to excel at the line, as the Sky are giving up the league's fourth-most attempts per game. Marina Mabrey is averaging 2.0 three-pointers per game and should have room to expand on her shooting against the Dream, who are giving up the league's third-most threes per game.
Value Plays
- Kia Nurse ($5,900)
- Nia Coffey ($4,400)
After a flat season opener, Kia Nurse totaled 28.8 DK points in 29 minutes in her most recent outing. Nia Coffey is averaging 19.3 minutes across three consecutive starts and finished with at least 10 DK points in each outing.
FanDuel
- Alyssa Thomas ($9,100)
- Breanna Stewart ($9,800)
- Sabrina Ionescu ($7,900)
Alyssa Thomas is coming off a rough outing but went over 45 FD points in the first three games of the season and should do well against the Fever, who give up 8.7 offensive rebounds per game. Breanna Stewart has been dominant early on and is coming off back-to-back 60 FD-point outings, while Sabrina Ionescu does a great job of filling the stat sheet by working alongside her superstar teammate.
Value Plays
- Lindsay Allen ($4,200)
- Betnijah Laney ($5,100)
Both Allen and Laney have a chance to reach their upper potential against struggling defenses.
