HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WNBA ON ROTORADAR!
The next WNBA slate on FanDuel is a 3 game slate locking at 4:30 pm EST on Sunday June 25th.
**Connecticut Sun- Guard Morgan Tuck and Forward Lynetta Kizer are both listed as Game Time Decisions.
***I have been building a spreadsheet that will later be used in a program for top player projections***
Please bear in mind the spreadsheet/program is a work in progress!
Here is a preview of Player Projections broken down by position, then Top and Pivot Plays based on the formula: (FPT Projection rounded to nearest whole number).
***Breakdown of possible picks and pivots in the article are based on accumulated data as well as knowledge of the league. Hence why you may see a player listed on the projection sheet I am not talking about in the article or a player not on the projections that is in the article.***
Game 1 Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings (4:30 pm EDT)
Record: 6-5
Possible takes:
Jonquel Jones, Jasmine Thomas, and Alyssa Thomas
These three again? Yes. I love the matchup against Dallas and Connecticut is on a roll with one of the best road game records in the WNBA to date. In Friday’s upset win against New York at a packed Madison Square Garden, these three put up 32.9, 35.9, and 30.6 FPTS against the Liberty. The game before that, this young trio led again in a huge upset against number-one-ranked Minnesota. I am not ready to say it is time for a “bust” game just yet.
Possible Fade:
Courtney Williams
I had her as a fade in the last game and she is here again due to her price. She put up a solid 24.7 FPTS last night and is a prolific three-point shooter. Unfortunately, I just don’t see her working on a line unless you stack Connecticut(which really might work) or attempt to go guard heavy.
Possible Pivots:
Alex Bentley
Bentley is back from Eurobasket and only played 11 minutes in the win last night against New York. She will undoubtedly get more minutes(which takes away from Williams).
Record: 7-8
Possible takes:
Skylar Diggins-Smith
SDS had another magnificent night against San Antonio and willed her young team to another win, recording 43.1 FPTS. She will have to take on a hot Connecticut team and I predict she has another huge game. She is worth her price if you can make it work.
Possible Fade:
Glory Johnson
Johnson didn’t have as great a night as anyone predicted last night against San Antonio, with just 17.2 FPTS. Predictions still look solid and she could really have a bounce-back game. I really like taking Alyssa Thomas for the same price in at least the cash line though.
Possible Pivot:
Theresa Plaisance and Kayla Thornton
Plaisance is here again and yet again in serious consideration with her price at $4,400. She racked up 33.1 FPTS against San Antonio last night. Thornton is the back up to Plaisance and a little cheaper at $3,100. Her production depends on the playing time she gets, which has been inconsistent. I would take Larkins from Indiana before Thornton.
Game 2 Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky (6 pm EDT)
Record: 7-5
Possible takes:
Elena Delle Donne and Tayler Hill
EDD recorded 36.1 and 37.4 FPTS in the last meeting with the Sky. Hill is consistent and is great for a cash line.
Possible Fade:
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt
TRP is great when she is on but doesn’t fit in the line for me tonight.
Possible Pivot:
Tianna Hawkins
Hawkins is the backup to Krystal Thomas and has found herself in some foul trouble. Not my favorite forward pivot.
Record: 3-9
Possible takes:
Allie Quigley and Cappie Pondexter
Quigley is a near lock on cash due to her consistency. I like Pondexter as she recorded 33.6 and 28.2 FPTS in her last two meetings with Washington.
Possible Fade:
Stefanie Dolson
This is a great take if you are fading other pricey forwards. In Chicago’s second meeting with Washington, they found a way to get Dolson into foul trouble and really took her out of her game. I expect that again tonight.
Possible Pivot:
Kristi Toliver
She has the ability to really go off, but we have not seen that yet this year. In any case, her price is good and she will deliver a solid return even if she has an off night.
Game 3 San Antonio Stars at Minnesota Lynx (6 pm EDT)
Record: 0-13
Possible takes:
Monique Curry
She is still priced ridiculously low for what she produces. LOCK.
Possible Fade:
Kayla McBride
I love McBride but Minnesota will shut her down tonight so I’m not expecting huge numbers.
Possible Pivot:
Dearica Hamby
This is a risky take because her production depends on the minutes she gets, which is really spotty. If this is a blowout, I see her getting more playing time.
Record: 10-1
Possible takes:
Sylvia Fowles and Maya Moore
Fowles and Moore are the perfect combo. I really would just be cautious of blowout minutes. Even in blowout games, Moore still gets solid time.
Possible Fade:
Sylvia Fowles
You guessed it: blowout concern. I still think she puts up at least 30 as she did against S.A. in their last matchup.
Possible Pivot:
Renee Montgomery and Natasha Howard
Montgomery is a great take for her price and she will get plenty of playing time tonight. Howard is my pick as best pivot forward due to blowout minutes. She recorded 17.9 FPTS in the last game with San Antonio.
