One game is scheduled across Wednesday’s WNBA slate. The action will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET as the Fever play the Mystics. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will examine my top Pick6 plays for today’s action, 5/28/25. You simply choose whether each set statistic will be more or less than the set number. With the stage set, here are my favorite picks on the WNBA slate.
Brittney Sykes More Than 17.5 Points
Brittney Sykes has responded excellently to the increased responsibility in Washington. The Ariel Atkins trade opened up a lot of touches, and Sykes has run away with them. The 31-year-old is taking five more shots per game and has upped her scoring average from 12 PPG last year to 22 PPG this year.
A tough outing against an elite Phoenix team in her last outing put a damper on the breakout campaign, but this Fever defense isn’t in the same class as the Mercury. Sykes will get her shots up and pressure an Indiana team playing without Caitlin Clark. She’s yet to attempt fewer than 13 field goals or eight free throws in any game this season. If that volume holds, she should smash this number.
Natasha Howard Less Than 14.5 Points
Natasha Howard is no slouch when it comes to scoring. In the past eight seasons, beginning with her MIP campaign, Howard is averaging 15.3 PPG across 208 games. It’s no different this season with her 13.3 PPG average.
There’s a bump expected with Caitlin Clark out of this contest, and touches to go around. But increased touches don’t always pan out, especially when your best passer is out. Matched up with Kiki Iriafen, a good defender in her own right, I’m not counting on Howard to have a big game.
Sonia Citron More Than 13.5 Points
Sonia Citron, the third overall pick in this past draft, is a capital S Sniper. She’s off to a scorching 53/48/90 start on her shooting splits, constantly finding ways to work herself open. That style of play could be potent against this Indiana team.
First and foremost, Indiana’s defensive strengths are on the interior. Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard make life difficult down there. But Citron operates on the perimeter, where Indiana is weaker defensively. And with Caitlin Clark out, players like Kelsey Mitchell, DeWanna Bonner, and Lexie Hull will expend more energy on the offensive side of the floor. That makes a lethal off-ball shooter like Citron that much tougher to handle.
