WNBA action on Saturday will kick off at 11 p.m. ET with the Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx tipping off. 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. 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.
Caitlin Clark More Than 3.5 Three Pointers Made
She’s finally back. The WNBA’s young phenom returns after injury, and what’s her reward? Facing the 9-0 New York Liberty. Their imposing defense has been far and away the best in the league thus far.
But this is Caitlin Clark we’re talking about. She will let it rip from beyond the arc and make plenty, regardless of the defense in front of her. The 2x boost makes this a nice extra on top of our other picks.
Aliyah Boston Less Than 3.5 Assists
In Caitlin Clark’s absence, Aliyah Boston has stepped up in a major way. Not known for her playmaking, the 23-year-old big has averaged 5.2 assists per game in the five games that Clark missed. She showed a lot of chops as a handoff option and high-post passer. It was an impressive stretch that will open many eyes in Indiana.
But with Clark’s return, things will go back to normal. Clark will take heavy usage, Kelsey Mitchell will be the No. 2 again, and Boston will be more of a play-finisher than an initiator. She will continue contributing all over the floor, but not as often in the assist column.
Sabrina Ionescu More Than 2.5 Threes Made
With Caitlin Clark’s 2x pick on our docket, we can afford to play it safe with one pick. Why not play another elite shooting threat?
Since an early-season slump, Sabrina Ionescu has been cooking with gas. Over her past five games, she’s making 3.6 threes per game at a 37.5% clip. This Fever defense isn’t bad, but they have sometimes struggled to contain backcourt threats. Ionescu is one of the biggest backcourt scoring threats you’ll find. I expect Sab to get hers as the Liberty look to move to 10-0.
