WNBA DFS Picks for Sunday, May 17: Best Lineup Tips, Sleepers and Values
The WNBA is back in action on Sunday with a four-game slate, and it promises to be an exciting day of basketball. The league's top teams are gearing up for some crucial matchups, and DFS players are in for a treat with a variety of options to consider.
Let's dive into the key players and strategies for each game, along with some sleeper picks and value plays.
Las Vegas Aces at Atlanta Dream
The Aces are looking to bounce back after a loss to the Sun, and A'ja Wilson is a must-have in DFS lineups. Her high salary is justified by her consistent performance and MVP-level play. Chennedy Carter is also a strong pick, offering strong scoring and defensive contributions.
The Dream, on the other hand, is dealing with injuries, but Angel Reese and Allisha Gray are still worth considering. Reese has been a double-double machine, and Gray is a prolific scorer.
Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever
The Storm is missing key players, but Stefanie Dolson could step up and provide value. Flau'jae Johnson is also a solid option with a high salary.
The Fever, led by Caitlin Clark, is a force to be reckoned with. Despite her high salary, Clark's scoring, passing, and defensive abilities make her a must-have in DFS lineups.
Toronto Tempo at Los Angeles Sparks
The Tempo is looking to get back on track after a loss to the Sparks. Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes are the top DFS options, with Mabrey's scoring and Sykes' improved production.
The Sparks, without Ariel Atkins, are still a strong team. Kelsey Plum, Nneka Ogwumike, and Dearica Hamby are all worth considering, with Plum and Ogwumike offering the most upside.
Chicago Sky at Minnesota Lynx
The Sky's success hinges on Skylar Diggins' availability. If she plays, she's a high-risk, high-reward pick. Rickea Jackson is a consistent performer, and Natasha Cloud and Jacy Sheldon offer value at lower salaries.
The Lynx, led by Courtney Williams and Nia Coffey, have some strong options as well. Williams and Coffey are worth considering, while Natasha Howard and Kayla McBride offer more consistent production.
