The Sparks will host the Dream at 10 PM, while the Aces will host the Sun at the same time. We\u2019re nearing the home stretch of the regular season, with about a month\u2019s worth of games to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is <a href=\"https:\/\/pick6.draftkings.com\/?sport=WNBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pick6 Fantasy Basketball<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article will look at my top Pick6 plays for tonight\u2019s slate. We simply choose whether a player will record more or less of the set statistic. Here are my favorite plays for tonight\u2019s action.<\/p>\n<p>Rhyne Howard More Than 4.5 Assists<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Howard has expanded her playmaking lately, averaging 4.6 assists over her past 10 games after posting 3.6 APG for the season. That stretch includes eight assists against Phoenix and seven against Toronto, illustrating the ceiling she has developed alongside Jordin Canada in Atlanta\u2019s backcourt. Los Angeles has allowed 22.6 assists per game, second-most in the WNBA, while opponents have shot a league-high 47.8% from the field against the Sparks. That combination should give Howard\u2019s teammates favorable chances to convert, particularly when she draws attention on her drives. With Atlanta still battling for playoff positioning and Howard regularly playing well over 30 minutes, she has a strong path to at least five assists.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"213\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image_6527ce.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433218\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nneka Ogwumike More Than 14.5 Points<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ogwumike enters her first game since announcing that she will retire after the season, but her current production provides a stronger basis for this selection than the narrative alone. The 11-time All-Star is averaging 16.9 PPG this season and 18.1 over her past 20 games, remaining the center of the Sparks\u2019 offense following Kelsey Plum\u2019s departure. Ogwumike scored 18 points on 8-of-15 shooting Tuesday and has averaged 20.8 points across her past five meetings with Atlanta. The Dream presents a more difficult defensive matchup, but Brionna Jones\u2019 absence removes an experienced frontcourt defender from the rotation and leaves Angel Reese and Naz Hillmon with more responsibility.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"219\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image_dcf6a9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433219\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Angel Reese More Than 12.5 Rebounds<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-breanna-stewart-more-than-22-5-pointslos-angeles-is-allowing-93-6-points-per-game-the-second-most-in-the-wnba-while-playing-at-the-league-s-third-fastest-pace-creating-exactly-the-kind-of-possession-heavy-environment-we-want-when-asking-stewart-to-clear-a-number-above-her-21-3-ppg-season-average-the-last-meeting-was-a-perfect-example-new-york-scored-113-points-stewart-poured-in-29-and-she-also-finished-with-seven-assists-and-four-steals-as-the-liberty-repeatedly-found-offense-in-a-113-109-shootout-stewart-doesn-t-need-to-suddenly-take-over-every-possession-for-this-angle-to-work-new-york-simply-needs-another-game-in-which-the-sparks-pace-and-defense-create-more-scoring-opportunities-than-usual-the-22-5-line-is-asking-for-a-little-more-than-stewart-typically-gives-us-but-los-angeles-is-one-of-the-opponents-where-that-bump-makes-sense\">Reese leads the WNBA with a truly hefty 12.0 RPG and has raised that average to 12.5 over her past 10 appearances. She has remained heavily involved despite Atlanta\u2019s recent frontcourt changes, playing nearly 39 minutes and collecting 10 rebounds against A\u2019ja Wilson and the Aces on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-breanna-stewart-more-than-22-5-pointslos-angeles-is-allowing-93-6-points-per-game-the-second-most-in-the-wnba-while-playing-at-the-league-s-third-fastest-pace-creating-exactly-the-kind-of-possession-heavy-environment-we-want-when-asking-stewart-to-clear-a-number-above-her-21-3-ppg-season-average-the-last-meeting-was-a-perfect-example-new-york-scored-113-points-stewart-poured-in-29-and-she-also-finished-with-seven-assists-and-four-steals-as-the-liberty-repeatedly-found-offense-in-a-113-109-shootout-stewart-doesn-t-need-to-suddenly-take-over-every-possession-for-this-angle-to-work-new-york-simply-needs-another-game-in-which-the-sparks-pace-and-defense-create-more-scoring-opportunities-than-usual-the-22-5-line-is-asking-for-a-little-more-than-stewart-typically-gives-us-but-los-angeles-is-one-of-the-opponents-where-that-bump-makes-sense\">Los Angeles allows 35.4 rebounds per game, third-most in the league, while Atlanta leads the WNBA with 10.9 offensive rebounds per game. That is an especially useful combination for Reese, whose offensive rebounding gives her more ways to reach this number than a player dependent solely on opponent misses. Cameron Brink is expected to return from a rib injury, but Reese\u2019s workload, recent form, and ability to create second-chance opportunities still support her reaching at least 13 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"215\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image_2ad97f.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433220\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"uHVWIs\">Pick6 is a peer-to-peer fantasy variant where you build a lineup (your \u201cPick Set\u201d) of at least two players and select whether you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection.
