There will be three games across the W tonight, tipping off at 8 PM EST with the Sky hosting the Sun and the Tempo hosting the Lynx. The Liberty will be in Las Vegas to close out the night at 10 PM.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will look at my top Pick6 plays for tonight’s slate. We simply choose whether a player will record more or less of the set statistic. Here are my favorite plays for tonight’s action.
Marina Mabrey More than 18.5 Points
Mabrey has been the clear offensive centerpiece for Toronto in its inaugural season, averaging 21.0 PPG and earning her first All-Star selection. Her year has included a 53-point eruption that tied the WNBA single-game record, illustrating how much her scoring ceiling has grown with the Tempo. Minnesota presents a difficult defensive matchup, but Mabrey just scored 25 points against the Lynx on Tuesday while adding eight rebounds and six assists. Sykes remains out, leaving Toronto with one fewer established perimeter creator and keeping Mabrey’s shot volume secure. With the line sitting 2.5 points below her season average, we’re banking on her role and immediate success in this matchup carrying her past 18.5.
Napheesa Collier More than 16.5 Points
Collier’s has only appeared in two games this season, but her production has returned quickly. She scored 24 points with 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes in her debut, then added 15 points in 25 minutes against Toronto on Tuesday. That gives her a 19.5 PPG average despite Minnesota carefully managing her workload and Collier still working through some understandable rust. Toronto has allowed the second-most points in the WNBA and has surrendered 106.7 PPG over its last three, so this remains one of the cleanest scoring spots on the slate.
Kamilla Cardoso More than 8.5 Rebounds
Cardoso has continued to expand her game in her third WNBA season, averaging 14.1 PPG, 8.4 RPG, and a career-best 2.6 APG. Her offensive progress has included an astonishing 30-point performance on perfect 13-for-13 shooting, but she remains most dependable when Chicago can use her size around the basket. Cardoso collected eight and 14 rebounds in her first two meetings with Connecticut, giving her an 11.0 RPG average in the season series. The Sun have allowed 46.0 opponent rebounds per game over their last three, and their interior rotation is compromised with Griner and Edwards unavailable. With Stevens also out for Chicago, the Sky should rely heavily on Cardoso as their primary interior presence, giving her the minutes and rebounding responsibility to clear 8.5.
