Two games are scheduled across today’s WNBA slate. The action will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET as the Mystics play the Liberty. 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, 6/5/25. 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.
Sabrina Ionescu More Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
This recent hot streak for Sabrina Ionescu has been coming for a long time. Over her past three contests, Sab is averaging 23 points, four rebounds, and five assists. That’s a significant tick up from the first four games, where she averaged 14 points, five rebounds, and five assists. The perennial All-Star is rounding into form for a Liberty squad yet to lose a game this season.
To be sure, Brittney Sykes is a tough defender. Sonia Citron can hold her own as well. But this Liberty team is a lot to handle. Natasha Cloud has been cooking, and Breanna Stewart makes life challenging on the perimeter with switching. Still, it’s not enough to contain Ionescu with the level of play she’s put forth.
Satou Sabally Less Than 32.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Sabally has more than earned the highest P/R/A mark on the board. She has been crushing all season and has taken things to a new level since Alyssa Thomas left the lineup. Satou is averaging a crisp 22 points, nine rebounds, and three assists over the past three games. So why am I down on the budding superstar for this one?
The Golden State frontcourt boasts some fun size. Temi Fagbenle has been quality in the early going, Janelle Salaün looks like a rookie revelation, and Monique Billings brings plenty of size and athleticism. It’s enough to think that Sabally can be held to less-than-MVP-level stats in this one for me.
Kiki Iriafen More Than 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
In her last matchup against the Liberty, the rookie recorded 12 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. It was a wake-up call to face Jonquel Jones. Kiki responded with 20 points and nine rebounds against Indiana, facing off against an equally tough defender in Aliyah Boston. Now she gets a chance at redemption against these same Liberty.
I think she’s due for a rebound (get it?) performance in this one. The stud rookie has been a double-double machine to start her career, and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Even against a strong Liberty defense, Iriafen can get her own.
