Elite WNBA DFS Players
Guards
FanDuel
Marina Mabrey, Tempo 
($7,400) at Dream
The star guard saw increased usage in Brittney Sykes' (foot) absence during Friday's win over the Sun, and that trend figures to continue Monday. Mabrey had a career-best 37-point performance Friday while tying the WNBA single-game record for three-pointers made, finishing with 41.8 FD points. She's notched at least 34.7 FD points in back-to-back outings.
DraftKings
Rhyne Howard, Dream 
($10,800) vs. Tempo
Howard has been a consistent source of elite production on both ends of the floor recently, dropping between 34.3 and 45.5 DK points in six consecutive contests, including a 44.0-DK-point performance against Toronto during that period. In those six games, the star wing has averaged 20.7 points, 3.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.2 blocks in 34.0 minutes per tilt.
Forwards/Centers
FanDuel
Jessica Shepard, Wings 
($7,500) at Storm
Shepard didn't stuff the stat sheet in Dallas' previous meeting with Seattle this season, though she played only 23 minutes in the blowout win and ended with 23.1 FD points. The 29-year-old has scored in double figures and racked up five double-doubles in seven outings since that win over the Storm, averaging 16.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per game during that span. She's generated between 32.0 and 49.5 FD points in six of those seven contests.
DraftKings
Angel Reese, Dream ($11,100) vs. Tempo
Reese has registered 34.0-plus DK points in six consecutive games, including 42.3 or more in four of them. In that stretch, the 24-year-old has averaged 19.0 points, 13.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.7 assists and 0.7 blocks across 30.0 minutes per game. She supplied 42.3 DK points in the June 14 win over the Tempo.
Mid-Range WNBA DFS Picks
FanDuel
Natisha Hiedeman, Storm 
($6,200) vs. Wings
Hiedeman would have returned 5x value at this DFS salary in four of her last seven appearances and has tallied at least 24.0 FD points in all of them. The veteran guard has averaged 18.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 29.6 minutes per tilt during that time.
DraftKings
Isabelle Harrison, Tempo ($7,100) at Dream
Harrison has started four consecutive contests in Nyara Sabally's (hamstring) absence. Although Sabally has a chance to return Monday, Harrison figures to continue seeing significant burn. She's produced 26.3 DK points in five of her six appearances this season, averaging 11.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks in 22.3 minutes per tilt.
WNBA DFS Value Picks
FanDuel
Noemie Brochant, Mercury 
($4,400) at Fever
With Jovana Nogic (not with team/personal) having her contract temporarily suspended Saturday, Brochant logged a season-best 32 minutes and erupted for 35.4 FD points in Saturday's win over Seattle. Monique Akoa Makani (hamstring) will also miss Monday's game, so Brochant could continue to see increased opportunities.
DraftKings
Alexa Held, Mercury ($4,300) at Fever
The 26-year-old guard got the starting nod in Akoa Makani's stead during Saturday's win, supplying 15.5 DK points in 30 minutes. Held will likely have another opportunity to return significant value with Akoa Makani sidelined Monday.
