The veteran guard has supplied at least 33.2 FanDuel points in five of her last seven games, including a 38.6-FanDuel-point effort in a win over Seattle on May 13.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/caitlin-clark-911\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Caitlin Clark<\/a>, Fever <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/100IND.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"IND\"\/> ($11,600) at Fire<\/p>\n<p>Clark is listed as probable for Saturday&#8217;s contest due to a lingering back issue, so her status will be worth monitoring ahead of tipoff even if she&#8217;s currently expected to play. The superstar guard has yet to finish with fewer than 35.3 DraftKings points and has recorded at least 41.0 in four of her last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points, 8.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks across 30.6 minutes per contest during that span.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Forwards\/Centers<\/p>\n<p>FanDuel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/aliyah-boston-852\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aliyah Boston<\/a>, Fever <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/100IND.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"IND\"\/> ($7,600) at Fire\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Boston struggled with efficiency and didn&#8217;t tally any counting stats on the defensive end in Thursday&#8217;s loss to Golden State, so there&#8217;s plenty of room for improvement Saturday. The star center has racked up 42.1-plus FanDuel points in two of her last three outings, during which she has averaged 19.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 24.0 minutes per game.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/nneka-ogwumike-326\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nneka Ogwumike<\/a>, Sparks <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/100LAS.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"LAS\"\/> ($10,900) at Sun<\/p>\n<p>Although the Sparks are on the second half of a back-to-back set, Ogwumike enters a favorable matchup, especially if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/brittney-griner-394\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brittney Griner<\/a> (rib) is unable to shake her questionable tag. Ogwumike dropped a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double in Friday&#8217;s win over the Mystics and is likely to continue seeing an increased role on the offensive end in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/kelsey-plum-425\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kelsey Plum<\/a>&#8216;s (ankle) absence. Ogwumike is also a strong play on FanDuel at a salary of $6,400.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-Range WNBA DFS Picks<\/p>\n<p>FanDuel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/nyara-sabally-789\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nyara Sabally<\/a>, Tempo <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/100TOR.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"TOR\"\/> ($5,500) vs. Storm\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sabally scored a career-high 29 points in her last outing, finishing with 49.2 FanDuel points. The 26-year-old forward has logged between 26.2 and 49.2 FanDuel points in four of her six regular-season appearances thus far, averaging 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 25.0 minutes per showing.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/erica-wheeler-309\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Erica Wheeler<\/a>, Sparks <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/100LAS.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"LAS\"\/> ($6,800) at Sun\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Sparks are entering the second leg of a back-to-back set on the road, and they&#8217;ll be without Plum at the very least Saturday. Wheeler finished with 21 points, eight assists, two rebounds and one steal across a team-high 35 minutes in Friday&#8217;s win over the Mystics, and she&#8217;ll likely remain heavily involved on the offensive end against the struggling Sun. She&#8217;s started five straight games, dishing out at least six assists and logging 30 or more minutes in four of them.<\/p>\n<p>WNBA DFS Value Picks<\/p>\n<p>FanDuel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/leila-lacan-935\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leila Lacan<\/a>, Sun <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/100CON.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"CON\"\/> ($3,000) vs. Sparks\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lacan is set to make her 2026 WNBA debut after winning a championship and earning Finals MVP honors with Basket Landes in France&#8217;s top league. The 21-year-old guard may operate on a minutes restriction in her season debut, though her discounted salary could make her worth a look.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/sarah-ashlee-barker-982\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Ashlee Barker<\/a>, Fire <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/100POR.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"POR\"\/> ($5,700) vs. Fever<\/p>\n<p>Barker led the Fire in scoring with 14 points off the bench in Friday&#8217;s loss to the Dream, and she had supplied at least 17.3 DraftKings points in her previous five appearances. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/bridget-carleton-581\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bridget Carleton<\/a>&#8216;s (back) status is up in the air after she missed Friday&#8217;s contest, and her continued absence could open up a few extra minutes for Barker.<\/p>\n<p>The author(s) of this article may play in daily fantasy contests including \u2013 but not limited to \u2013 games that they have provided recommendations or advice on in this article.
