WNBA action on Saturday will kick off at 7 p.m. ET. 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.
Kelsey Mitchell More Than 20.5 Points
Kelsey Mitchell is on a roll. She’s gone for 20+ in five straight games. With Caitlin Clark out, Mitchell’s scoring has been sorely needed. Now she gets a matchup with a struggling defense and a chance to continue the streak.
The Los Angeles Sparks have the third-worst defensive rating in the WNBA. They’re especially susceptible to perimeter scorers like Mitchell. It should be a big night for the soon-to-be All-Star. Count on plenty of points for KM.
Courtney Williams More Than 21.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
This matchup between the Lynx and the Valkyries is a real defensive showdown. Respectively, they have the top two defensive ratings in the WNBA. That’s going to be a problem for a lot of the talent in this game. But not for Courtney Williams.
One of Minnesota’s most important two-way players, Williams has cleared the 21.5 mark in four of her last five contests. While the scoring can be inconsistent at times, she always fills up the rebounds and assists. Her playmaking with Napheesa Collier often proves effective when facing great defenses. They’ll go to it often in this one when things bog down.
Aliyah Boston More Than 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Speaking of players on a roll, Aliyah Boston is cruising. As a center, most expect her production to go as her guard play goes. That hasn’t been the case this season. She’s been scoring at will, putting the ball on the deck more often, and the results are showing. Over her last six contests, Boston is putting up 21.2 points per game on 61% shooting. That comes with 8.8 rebounds per game and 2.2 assists.
This Sparks defense won’t provide much resistance for her. Nobody on Los Angeles has the interior presence to stop her. The roll will continue for Indiana’s third All-Star.
