Charlie Cummings gives his top DraftKings WNBA Pick6 plays and projections for the three-game WNBA slate on Tuesday, July 29th.

WNBA action on Tuesday will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET. We have a three-game slate, starting with the Valkyries taking on the Dream and the Sky visiting the Mystics. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is WNBA Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!

This article will examine my top WNBA Pick6 plays for today’s action. You simply choose whether each set statistic will be more or less than the set number. With the stage ready, here are my favorite picks on the WNBA Pick6 slate.

Jewell Loyd More Than 9.5 Points Scored

It’s been an extremely difficult season for Jewell Loyd. After ten years in Seattle, the former scoring champ and six-time All-Star was moved to the star-studded Las Vegas Aces. You’d think that would be a slam-dunk addition for one the WNBA’s premier contenders.

Instead, Loyd has struggled more than ever. Her points-per-game average is the lowest since her rookie season, and her efficiency remains low despite a strong supporting cast. As the Aces have struggled, it resulted in coach Becky Hammon making a big move in Sunday’s game. She moved Jewell Loyd to the bench for the first time this season.

Coming off a scoreless game where she was 0-for-10 from the field, Jewell bounced back with 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting. It was her most efficient 20-point game of the season, and helped the Aces to dismantle the Wings. This Sparks defense is welcoming Cameron Brink back, but they’ll struggle to contain backcourt scoring regardless. Jewell should cook off the bench once again.

Rachel Banham Less Than 2.5 Threes Made

It’s been an up-and-down season for Rachel Banham beyond the arc. She always ends up shooting at a high volume with great percentages, but it often comes without consistency.

The Sky guard has played a total of 25 games this season. She’s made 3+ three-pointers in nine of those games. It’s been a different story since she got into the starting lineup, as she’s averaging 2.9 makes per game and has made 3+ in 7 of 13 contests. But this Washington Mystics squad can be a challenge.

Brittney Sykes will spend a lot of time chasing Banham around. So will Sonia Citron and Sug Sutton. Those are some pesky defenders that will keep her in check. If the shots stay contested, she could be in for one of her down nights.

Rickea Jackson More Than 13.5 Points

It’s been one heck of a stretch for Rickea Jackson and the Los Angeles Sparks. Winners of five straight, they’ve launched themselves back into the playoff picture, just in time for Cameron Brink’s return to the lineup. And Jackson has been at the heart of that, scoring 19+ points in four of those five wins.

Her streak started before the Sparks got hot. The 24-year-old has scored 14+ points in six of her last seven, averaging 17.1 PPG over that stretch. I’d be riding the hot hand regardless; playing against an Aces team struggling to defend this year gives her an extra edge.
