Elite WNBA DFS Players
Guards
FanDuel
Paige Bueckers, Wings 
($8,000) at Tempo
Bueckers has been a consistent source of high-level production recently, and she dropped 34.1 FD points in Sunday's road win over the Tempo. The star guard has recorded between 34.1 and 46.4 FD points in eight straight outings, during which she has averaged 21.6 points, 6.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 35.5 minutes per tilt.
DraftKings
Marina Mabrey, Tempo 
($10,200) vs. Wings
Mabrey struggled in Wednesday's loss to the Valkyries but has otherwise been productive of late for the injury-plagued Tempo. The star guard has finished with between 34.8 and 66.5 DK points in five of her last six outings, averaging 26.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 0.8 steals across 32.0 minutes per game during that time.
Forwards/Centers
FanDuel
Kamilla Cardoso, Sky 
($7,300) at Sparks
Cardoso is coming off a nine-point performance in her last time out but still generated 36.8 FD points thanks to her six combined steals-plus-blocks. Her ability to stuff the stat sheet has resulted in her closing with between 32.1 and 43.3 FD points in seven consecutive contests, during which she has averaged 19.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.9 combined steals-plus-blocks and 2.4 assists in 26.9 minutes per tilt.
DraftKings
Jessica Shepard, Wings ($11,500) at Tempo
Shepard is fresh off her third triple-double of the season in Tuesday's win over the Liberty and recently dropped 39.3 DK points in Sunday's win over the Tempo, who will be without several key frontcourt players Friday. The 29-year-old center has racked up 34.0-plus DK points in nine of her last 11 appearances, averaging 15.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 33.6 minutes per tilt over that stretch.
Mid-Range WNBA DFS Picks
FanDuel
Isabelle Harrison, Tempo ($6,200) vs. Wings
Harrison has been a key contributor for the injury-riddled Tempo of late and will have to continue stepping up with Nyara Sabally (knee) joining Temi Fagbenle (concussion) on the inactive list. Harrison has started nine consecutive contests, posting 26.6 or more FD points in six of them while never falling below 20.4.
DraftKings
Charlisse Leger-Walker, Sun 
($7,400) vs. Valkyries
The Sun face a tough matchup Friday and will be without multiple players, including Saniya Rivers (ankle), so Leger-Walker figures to see significant burn. Although she hasn't been very efficient of late, the rookie guard has started five straight games, generating between 20.5 and 30.3 DK points while averaging 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest in that stretch.
WNBA DFS Value Picks
FanDuel
Arike Ogunbowale, Wings ($4,700) at Tempo
It's no secret Ogunbowale is in the midst of the worst season of her career, though she offers plenty of upside at this price point. The 29-year-old guard logged 20.2 FD points in Sunday's win over the Tempo, ending with 10 points, six rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes.
DraftKings
Kaila Charles, Valkyries 
($5,800) at Sun
Charles has played at least 18 minutes in five straight games and would likely see increased playing time if Gabby Williams (back) is unable to go. Charles has registered 17.0 or more DK points in three of her last four games, averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 22.8 minutes per game during that time.
