Elite WNBA DFS Players
Guards
FanDuel
Marina Mabrey, Tempo 
($7,300) at Sun
With Brittney Sykes (foot) out indefinitely, Mabrey figures to see increased usage for the time being. The 29-year-old guard has recorded between 27.6 and 40.3 FD points in eight of her last nine outings, averaging 18.0 points, 4.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.0 minutes per contest during that span.
DraftKings
Olivia Miles, Valkyries 
($11,200) at Valkyries
Miles erupted for a career-high 31 points her last time out and has scored 24 or more in three of the last four games. The rookie guard has tallied between 34.3 and 53.0 DK points in nine of her last 10 appearances, with the latter mark coming in the June 4 win over Golden State. Over the last 10 games, Miles has averaged 20.9 points, 5.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 30.2 minutes per showing.
Forwards/Centers
FanDuel
Breanna Stewart, Liberty 
($8,200) vs. Mystics
Stewart has supplied between 37.7 and 52.6 FD points in six straight games, averaging 21.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.7 blocks in 32.8 minutes per contest over that stretch. In two appearances against the Mystics this season, the star forward has notched 47.8 and 49.9 FD points.
DraftKings
Jonquel Jones, Liberty ($11,100) vs. Mystics
Jones has been a key part of the Liberty's winning streak and has provided 37.0 or more DK points in four of the last five games, averaging 17.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks during that time. The veteran center is also a strong play on FanDuel at a salary of $7,400.
Mid-Range WNBA DFS Picks
FanDuel
Kayla McBride, Lynx ($6,100) at Valkyries
The Valkyries are a tough matchup, though McBride dropped 30.6 FD points when these teams met June 4. The veteran guard has produced at least 29.2 FD points in four of her last six appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 39.5 percent from downtown in 28.2 minutes per tilt in that stretch.
DraftKings
Julie Allemand, Tempo ($6,400) at Sun
Allemand exited Tuesday's loss to the Fever with a headache after logging just 11 minutes, though she had contributed 23.5 and 35.3 DK in her previous two outings. With Sykes sidelined, Allemand could see increased usage after averaging just 4.6 field-goal attempts in the last seven games.
WNBA DFS Value Picks
FanDuel
Kayla Thornton, Valkyries 
($5,100) vs. Minnesota
Thornton offers a relatively safe floor and has finished with 21.3-plus FD points in four of her last five appearances. During that time, the veteran forward has averaged 7.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.
DraftKings
Maria Conde, Tempo ($5,900) at Sun
Conde has generated 21.0 or more DK points in three consecutive contests, during which she has averaged 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 26.0 minutes per tilt. Although Nyara Sabally (hamstring) has a chance to return from a three-game absence, Conde figures to continue seeing meaningful run with Sykes and Kiki Rice (ankle) out.
