WNBA action on Wednesday will kick off at 10 p.m. ET with two games 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 2.5 Three Pointers Made
Editor’s Note: Fever G Caitlin Clark (groin) has been ruled out for tonight’s game vs. the Sparks.
Caitlin Clark is one of the most, if not the most, dynamic offensive players in the WNBA. And it all comes from her three-point shooting. But that’s come with some interesting splits this year. Clark is shooting well over 40% from deep this season while playing at home, yet is just 1-for-26 on the road. She’s 1-for-23 in this three-game road trip.
To say she’s due is an understatement. Back at home against a subpar Los Angeles Sparks defense, I’m counting on Clark to heat up from deep in this one.
Aliyah Boston More Than 14.5 Points
Aliyah Boston is on a scorcher. Over her past three games, Boston has scored 24.7 points per game on 67% shooting. She’s beginning to expand her skillset, showing an increased willingness to drive and hit tough shots outside the restricted area.
This Sparks defense misses Cameron Brink sorely. Without her, there isn’t much rim protection to go around. Boston should get plenty of looks in the paint in this one. The two-woman game with her and Caitlin Clark should pick apart this Los Angeles defense all night. I expect many big buckets for Boston as she makes a case for an All-Star appearance.
Dearica Hamby More Than 7.5 Rebounds
It hasn’t been a great season for the Los Angeles Sparks. But Dearica Hamby continues to be excellent. The do-it-all forward continues to score at a high level, make a serious defensive impact, and provide a lot of juice as a connective passer. It’s the kind of player the Sparks will need going forward to connect Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink, the cornerstones of their offense and defense, respectively.
For this game, Hamby will be needed on the glass. This one will have a lot of pace, and shots will fly left and right. For Los Angeles to be competitive, Hamby has to finish off whatever stops they secure while creating some extra possessions on the offensive side of the ball. It may not be enough, but a double-digit rebounding performance from Dearica could keep them within striking distance.
