Breanna Stewart is averaging 25 points and 3 assists, while Natasha Cloud is averaging 22 points and 6 rebounds. Jonquel Jones is the third double-digit scorer, and Kennedy Burke is dishing 1 assist.

The Liberty don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Moriah Jefferson remains out for the Sky due to a leg injury.

Sky vs Liberty Prediction

I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with a road team, but there’s no other way to go. The Sky looked downright awful in their season opener at both ends of the floor, and now they’re playing an even better team. Home court only does so much. While it’s just one game, the Sky was terrible offensively last season and showed no signs of progress.

The Sky also didn’t show much resistance defensively. The Sky are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a double-digit underdog, and they’ve lost those games by an average of 21.2 points. The only concern here is it is a look ahead spot for the Liberty with the Fever on deck. Regardless, I have to lay the points.

Before we dive into the Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this afternoon’s Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Caitlin Clark, Guard, Indiana Pacers $10,200

Talented guard Caitlin Clark was an essential part of the Indiana Fever’s starting lineup last season. Let’s review Clark’s relevant player data from the 2024 WNBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 40 games that Caitlin Clark played for the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 40 games that Caitlin Clark played for the Fever in 2024, Clark averaged a massive 42.4 Draftkings points a contest. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers that I need to see from a player that I select at the captain position.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings WNBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.

In summary, I think Caitlin Clark is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.

Flex Plays

Aliyah Boston, Forward, Indiana Fever $8,400

In addition to guard Caitlin Clark, forward Aliyah Boston was a key contributor for the Indiana Fever last season. With that said, how did Boston perform from a statistical standpoint in 2024? Let’s examine Boston’s game data from the 2024 WNBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 40 games that forward Aliyah Boston played for the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Jackson averaged a robust 14.1 points, 9.2 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks a game.

In conclusion, I fully expect Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston to play well in this afternoon’s WNBA regular season matchup with the Chicago Sky.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Angel Reese, Forward (Chicago Sky) $9,600: DeWanna Bonner, Guard (Indiana Fever) $8,200: Ariel Atkins, Guard (Chicago Sky) $6,800.

Chicago Sky Betting Preview

The Sky won 13 games last season and begin the Tyler Marsh coaching era. The Sky have a young core to be excited about in Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, a duo that showed flashes of brilliance that led to being on the all-rookie team. The Sky had issues scoring last season, so it was weird not brining back their best scorer in Chennedy Carter.

However, the additions of Ariel Atkins and Courtney Vandersloot could fill the void and is also a shot of experience to a youthful roster. Vandersloot spent her first 12 seasons in Chicago and was a four-time all-star, so her return home should get the fans excited. Atkins has been a double-digit scorer her whole career and has playmaking ability at guard. The Sky should push for a playoff appearance for the sixth time in the last seven years.

Indiana Fever Betting Preview

The Fever won 20 games last season and decided to bring back Stephanie White as head coach. White coached the Fever to a combined 37 wins in 2015-16. On paper the Fever are possibly the most fun team in the league led by superstar Caitlin Clark who has taken the league by storm. There’s also Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, who played their roles in getting the Fever to the playoffs last season.

The additions of Natasha Howard, Sophie Cunningham, and DeWanna Bonner not only add experience to the roster but do elevate the Fever into contender status. Offensively, the Fever have elite potential and could overwhelm teams most nights. The question remains on the defensive side, as the Fever weren’t great last year. The Fever also has to prove themselves against the top teams to be respected. Again, on paper, the Fever can hang with any team in the league.

Fever vs Sky Injury Report

The Sky will be without Moriah Jefferson, while Hailey Van Lith is questionable with an ankle injury.

The Fever will be without Sophie Cunningham due to an ankle injury.

Fever vs Sky Prediction

The Fever are going to be favored at home more times than not, and we’re going to get inflated lines due to the public. It’s the Caitlin Clark effect. However, until proven otherwise, the Fever isn’t great defensively, and it’s going to lead to failed covers. In fact, the Fever are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games when favorites of five or more points.

Also, the Sky improved this offseason and will have a more mature team as well. The Sky and Fever played close games last season, and it’s the underdog that’s covered six of the last eight meetings. I get the Fever are the sexy team everybody wants to bet on, but this line is too steep. Give me the Sky and the points.

Chennedy Carter is averaging 17.5 points and 3.5 rebounds, while Marina Mabrey is averaging 14 points and 4.9 rebounds. Elizabeth Williams is the third double-digit scorer and Kamilla Cardoso is grabbing 7.9 rebounds. The Chicago Sky are shooting 32.7 percent from beyond the arc and 74.1 percent from the free throw line. The Chicago Sky are allowing 32.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 36.2 rebounds per game.

Connecticut Sun Betting Preview

The Connecticut Sun look for a win after winning 13 of their last 21 games. The Sun have won 4 of their last 7 home games. The Connecticut Sun are averaging 80.1 points on 44.2 percent shooting and allowing 74 points on 43.4 percent shooting.

Brionna Jones is the third double-digit scorer and DiJonai Carrington is dishing 1.5 assists. The Connecticut Sun are shooting 32.5 percent from beyond the arc and 74.9 percent from the free throw line. The Connecticut Sun are allowing 31.8 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.4 rebounds per game.

Connecticut Sun vs Chicago Sky Injury Report

The Chicago Sky will be without Diamond DeShields, Angel Reese and Elizabeth Williams, while Kamilla Cardoso is doubtful and Chennedy Carter is questionable. The Connecticut Sun will be without Tiffany Mitchell.

Connecticut Sun vs Chicago Sky Prediction

The Connecticut Sun should be big favorites, as they’re not only the better team, but health is on their side. The Chicago Sky are loaded with injuries and have little chance if Carter is out along with everybody else. However, while the Sun are playing for the third seed, it’s the Sky who are still fighting for that last playoff seed. This is a lot of points for a team that still has something to play for. Also, the Sun are 3-5 ATS in their last 8 games as a double-digit favorite. I’ll grab the points with the Sky, even if their situation isn’t ideal.

Atlanta Dream vs Chicago Sky Injury Report

The Atlanta Dream will be without Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and Aerial Powers. The Chicago Sky will be without Diamond DeShields, Angel Reese and Elizabeth Williams, while Kamilla Cardoso is questionable with a shoulder injury.

Atlanta Dream vs Chicago Sky Prediction

This is damn near a playoff game, as the Atlanta Dream and Chicago Sky are two of the three teams fighting for that last playoff spot. The Atlanta Dream should be favored at home, especially given they have health on their side. The Chicago Sky are losing players left and right, and it would be too easy to just roll over. With all that said, this is still a massive game for both teams and I expect both sides to leave it all on the floor. You could also argue the Sky still have the best player on the floor in Chennedy Carter. Give me the Dream and the points.

Here are my FanDuel picks for tomorrow night’s Chicago Sky vs. Atlanta Dream matchup.

FanDuel WNBA Player Selections

MVP-Chennedy Carter, Guard, Chicago Sky $8,500

Chicago guard Chennedy Carter has been a key contributor to the Chicago Sky’s success on the offensive side of the basketball this season Let’s review Carter’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 33 games played that Chennedy Carter has played for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Carter is averaging a robust 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 33 games that Chennedy Carter has played for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Carter averaged an impressive 28.5 FanDuel points a game.

More recently, in the Phoenix Mercury’s 93-88 win over the Chicago Sky two days ago, Chennedy Carter certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Carter accumulated 20 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in the Phoenix Mercury’s victory over the Sky.

It should be noted that talented Chicago forward Angel Reese has been officially ruled out for this game. I think the absence of Angel Reese within the Chicago Sky offense will provide additional opportunities for Chennedy Carter to prosper on the offensive end of the floor.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct MVP is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game FanDuel DFS WNBA contest.

In my opinion, Chicago guard Chennedy Carter is the most likely player to post the most fantasy points in tomorrow’s WNBA regular season contest. For that specific reason, I am backing Chennedy Carter at the MVP position for this one game MLB FanDuel DFS slate.

Star-Tina Charles, Forward, Atlanta Dream $9,000

Atlanta Dream forward Tina Charles arrives at tomorrow’s game with the Chicago Sky playing exceptional basketball from a statistical perspective. Let’s take a look at Charles recent game data to shed light on my previous statement.

In the 37 games that Tina Charles has played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Dream forward Tina Charles has averaged a whopping 15.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0,5 blocks a game.

Flex plays I like (FanDuel price noted): Rhyne Howard, Guard (Atlanta Dream) $9,500: Allisha Gray, Guard (Atlanta Dream) $8,000: Isabelle Harrison, Forward (Chicago Sky) $6,500: Michaela Onyenwere, Forward (Chicago Sky) $6,500.

Chicago Sky vs Phoenix Mercury Injury Report

The Chicago Sky will be without Diamond DeShields, Angel Reese and Elizabeth Williams, while Kamilla Cardoso is questionable with a shoulder injury. The Phoenix Mercury will be without Charisma Osborne and Rebecca Allen, while Kahleah Copper is questionable with a back injury.

Chicago Sky vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

I want nothing to do with either the Phoenix Mercury or Chicago Sky, two teams that are heading in the wrong direction and dealing with endless injuries. The game is important with the Mercury fighting for seeding and the Sky fighting for a simple playoff spot, but neither side has been able to get out of their own way over the last two weeks. With all that said, the Mercury are still the better team overall and have waxed the Sky in two games this season. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mercury if forced to pick.

The Minnesota Lynx are averaging 82.8 points on 44.8 percent shooting and allowing 76 points on 41 percent shooting.

Minnesota Lynx vs Chicago Sky Injury Report

The Minnesota Lynx don’t have any players listed on their injury report. The Chicago Sky will be without Diamond DeShields, Angel Reese and Elizabeth Williams.

Minnesota Lynx vs Chicago Sky Prediction

You’d think the Chicago Sky will get up for this game, considering they’re still in the thick of the playoff race. The problem is the Sky are down key bodies including Reese, and they just lost at home to the Mystics by 31 points. The Sky could easily be waiving the white flag. The Minnesota Lynx are as hot as any team in the league, they’re 15-3 SU at home and have covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Lynx need to keep winning to lock up the second seed. Just a tough spot for the Sky. Give me the Lynx in a home beat down.

Washington Mystics Betting Preview

The Washington Mystics look for a win after winning 5 of their last 7 games. The Mystics have won 4 straight road games.

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics Injury Report

The Washington Mystics will continue to be without Shakira Austin. The Chicago Sky will be without Angel Reese, Diamond DeShields and Elizabeth Williams.

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics Prediction

We’ve backed the Washington Mystics a lot lately as they continue to cover numbers and are 23-11-1 ATS on the season. The Mystics have covered 5 of their last 6 games as an underdog. Still, the Sky are at home and can all but end the Mystics season with a victory. This line is short given the Sky’s injury situation, which includes Angel Reese, but they’ve won their last two games and still have their best player in Chennedy Carter. This will feel like a playoff game, and the Sky should have the edge at home. I’ll lay the bucket.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings look for a win after lost 6 of their last 9 games. The Wings haven’t won a road game since May 26.

Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings Prediction

The Chicago Sky are getting no love from oddsmakers as the losses keep piling up, and now they’re going to be without Angel Reese for the rest of the season. With that said, the Sky are still in that last playoff spot, so there’s motivation to still play hard. Also, the Dallas Wings don’t play a lick of defense, continue to lose games, and they just blew a massive lead to the Dream. The Wings also haven’t won on the road since the titanic sank. How are the Wings laying this many points on the road?! Give me the Sky and the free buckets.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Chicago Sky vs. Los Angeles Sparks matchup.

Draftkings Picks

Captain-Angel Reese, Forward, Chicago Sky $10,000

Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese has wasted little time showing the world that she belongs in the WNBA. Having stated that, how has Reese been playing from a statistical perspective. Let’s review Reese’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 33 games played that Angel Reese has played for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Reese is averaging a robust 13.3 points, 13.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 33 games that Angel Reese has played for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Reese averaged 36.2 Draftkings points a game.

More recently, in the Las Vegas Aces 90-71 win over the Chicago Sky three days ago, Angel Reese certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Reese accumulated a whopping 12 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the Aces win over the Sky.

From a general perspective, I like Reese’s matchup in this WNBA regular season contest. Why? Chicago forward Angel Reese will face a Los Angeles Sparks defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season.

Through 33 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Los Angeles Sparks are currently ranked a dreadful tenth in total team defensive rating (106.1), ninth in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (10.6), and 11th in total points allowed in the paint a game (38.2)

In my opinion, Chicago forward Angel Reese is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Angel Reese as my captain for this one game WNBA DFS Showdown slate.

Flex Plays

Dearica Hamby, Forward, Los Angeles Sparks $9,400

Talented Los Angeles forward Dearica Hamby has been one of the few bright spots for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 WNBA regular season.

In the 33 games that forward Dearica Hamby has played for the Los Angeles Sparks this season, Hamby has averaged 17.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.5 steals a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well this evening (Draftkings price noted): Rickea Jackson, Guard (Los Angeles Sparks) $7,800: Chennedy Carter, Guard (Chicago Sky) $8,800: Rae Burrell, Guard (Los Angeles Sparks) $5,600.

Chicago Sky vs Los Angeles Sparks Injury Report

The Chicago Sky will continue to be without Elizabeth Williams. The Los Angeles Sparks will be without Lexie Brown, Cameron Brink and Layshia Clarendon.

Chicago Sky vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

Seeing the Chicago Sky as a decent sized favorite is a bit weird when you consider they haven’t won a game since August 17. Hover, this is a sign of just how awful the Sparks have been this season, and the constant injuries don’t help. The Sky may be racking up the losses, but they’re still somehow holding onto the last playoff spot, and they need to take advantage of games like this to keep it. If the Sky don’t win this game, it’s time to panic. I’ll lay the points with the Sky.

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces matchup.

Draftkings Picks

Captain-A’ja Wilson, Forward, Las Vegas Aces $13,000

Talented Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson has been the presence in the paint that the Las Vegas Aces have needed to win games this season. Having stated that, how has Wilson been playing from an offensive standpoint in 2024?

In the 32 games that forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Wilson has averaged a whopping 27.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 32 games that Aces forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces this season, Wilson has accumulated 55.4 Draftkings points a game.

In addition to her outstanding play in the WNBA this season, A’ja Wilson helped Team USA win a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

I definitely like A’ja Wilson’s matchup in this game. Why? Wilson draws a Chicago Sky team that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season. Through 31 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Chicago Sky are currently ranked a rather low ninth in total opponent points allowed in the paint a game (36.1), and 11th in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (11.1). What did we learn? The data just presented tells us that the Chicago Sky are not a good defensive team.

Now that we have ascertained just how bad the Chicago Sky’s defense has been at times this season, it is easy to recognize the problem the Sky will encounter in Las Vegas later today. After all, Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson is arguably the best player in the league. If the Chicago Sky can’t handle some of the lower-level talent in the WNBA, how will the team respond versus facing the best player in the league (A’ja Wilson)? My prediction is the Chicago Sky will be unable to contain Wilson in the paint.

For the reasons just noted, I am backing Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson as my captain for tonight’s Draftkings WNBA DFS contest.

Flex Plays

Jackie Young, Guard, Las Vegas Aces $9,600

How important is Las Vegas point guard Jackie Young to the Las Vegas Aces offense? Let’s take a look at Young’s relevant game data to answer that question.

Through 31 games played this season, Jackie Young is averaging 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.1 steals a game.

Additional players I like (Draftkings price noted): Kelsey Plum, Guard (Las Vegas Aces) $8,400: Angel Reese, Forward (Chicago Sky) $10,600: Kamilla Cardoso, Forward (Chicago Sky) $8,800.

Las Vegas Aces vs Chicago Sky Prediction

The Las Vegas Aces are going to massive favorites for obvious reasons. The problem is, the Aces haven’t played great over the last month or so, and they’re 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a double-digit favorite. The Chicago Sky have covered 4 straight games as a double-digit underdog, and they took the Aces down to the wire last week, losing by 2 points as 9.5 point underdogs. There’s a chance Chennedy Carter returns and the Sky are fighting for their playoff lives. Give me the points with the Sky.

The Minnesota Lynx obviously have the ability to blow the doors off in this matchup, especially if the Sky are still without Chennedy Carter. However, the Lynx are coming off an ugly loss to the Wings, and they’ve failed to cover 3 straight as double-digit favorites. The Chicago Sky are 4-1 ATS this season as double-digit underdogs. The Sky are still fighting for their playoff lives, so they’re not going to just roll over. Give me the points.

The Chicago Sky can’t catch a break and could still be without their top scorer in Chennedy Carter. The line is what it is for a reason. With that said, this line does feel a bit rich. The Fever have seen 11 of their 16 loses come on the road, and the Sky are still a scrappy team that’s fighting for its playoff life. Each of the Sky’s last 3 games have been decided by 4 or fewer points. Carter or not, I expect the Sky to compete. Give me the points.

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics Prediction

The Chicago Sky and the free bucket is intriguing when you consider what they’re playing for, but they will be without one of their best players in Chennedy Carter. The Washington Mystics can get back in the playoff race with a win here, and they’re 16-8-1 ATS on the season. The Mystics and Sky have split the two games this season, and it’s the Mystics that has won 6 of the last 8 meetings overall. Due to the Mystics covering ability and the Carter absence, I’ll lay the bucket with Washington.

Chicago Sky vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction

The Las Vegas Aces obviously have the ability to wipe the Sky off the floor, but losses in 4 of their last 5 games doesn’t inspire confidence. The Aces have also failed to cover each of their last 7 games. The Sky are still fighting for their playoff lives so you’d expect a motivated effort, especially at home, and they did beat the Aces last month as 13 point underdogs. This is also a weird early start time where you tend to see sluggish and sloppy play from the start. Give me the Sky and the free buckets.

Connecticut Sun Betting Preview

The Connecticut Sun look for a win after winning 6 of their last 9 games. The Sun have won 8 of their last 11 home games. The Connecticut Sun are averaging 80.1 points on 43.8 percent shooting and allowing 73.5 points on 43.5 percent shooting.

Connecticut Sun vs Chicago Sky Injury Report

The Connecticut Sun could be without Tiffany Mitchell due to an illness. The Chicago Sky will be without Elizabeth Williams due to a knee injury.

Connecticut Sun vs Chicago Sky Prediction

The Connecticut Sun are more than capable of blowing the doors off a Sky team that’s been shaky at best over the last couple of weeks. The line is what it is for a reason. However, the Sun have failed to cover 6 of their last 10 games overall, and they’re 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites of 9 or more points. The Sun don’t score well enough to usually cover these sorts of numbers. This line just feels a little too thick for a Sky team that’s fighting for its playoff life. I’d expect somewhat of a more competitive game. It’s the Sky and points or pass for me.

Before we dive into the Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury matchup.

Draftkings Picks

Captain-Kahleah Copper, Guard, Phoenix Mercury $9,000

Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper has been one of the few bright spots for a Phoenix Mercury team that has struggled at times this season. Let’s take a look at Copper’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 27 games that Kahleah Copper has played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper has averaged a robust 23.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and one steal a game.

More recently, in the Indiana Fever’s 98-89 win over the Phoenix Mercury two days ago, Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper played exceptionally well from a statistical perspective. More specifically, Kahleah Copper tallied a whopping 32 points, eight rebound, six assists, and one steal in 38 minutes played in the Chicago Sky’s loss to the Fever.

Looking closer at the data just noted, in the Indiana Fever’s win over the Phoenix Mercury just noted, Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper accumulated 52.5 Draftkings points.

Additionally, I certainly like Kahleah Copper’s matchup in this WNBA contest. Why? Copper draws a Chicago Sky team that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season. Through 25 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Chicago Sky are currently ranked a rather low tenth in total opponent points allowed in the paint a game (36.9), eighth in defensive rebounding percentage (70.1%), ninth in total opponent second chance points allowed a game (11.1) and tenth in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (11.3).

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player for your captain position is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) Draftkings contest. Keep that in mind as you determine which player to select as your captain for this one game DFS contest. For me, the obvious choice at the captain position for this WNBA Draftkings contest is Phoenix Mercury guard Kahleah Copper.

Flex Plays

Angel Reese, Forward, Chicago Sky $10,000

Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese has wasted little time showing the world that she belongs in the WNBA. In the Chicago Sky’s 25 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is averaging 13.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 steals a game.

In summary, I like Angel Reese’s chances of continuing her outstanding play on the basketball court versus the Phoenix Mercury later today.

Additional flex plays I like to play well this evening (Draftkings price noted): Brittney Griner, Forward (Phoenix Mercury) $8,400: Lindsay Allen, Guard (Chicago Sky) $6,600: Dana Evans, Guard (Chicago Sky) $6,000.
