WNBA action on Wednesday will kick off at 11 a.m. ET. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will examine my top WNBA 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 ready, here are my favorite picks on the WNBA Pick6 slate.
Angel Reese More Than 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Why not run it back? I’ve picked Angel Reese to get more than her points + rebounds + assists mark in two straight Pick6 editions. The bar keeps raising, and she keeps meeting it.
On Sunday, she was set at 31.5 P/R/A, and racked up 39. On Tuesday, it was raised to 32.5, and she recorded 39 once again. Averaging 17 points, 17 rebounds and 5.0 rebounds over a six-game stretch is some wild stuff. And this Dallas Wings team is not prepared to stop her streak.
Their only presence down low is Li Yueru. While she is an imposing presence at 6-foot-7, she rarely plays significant minutes. Reese will play the majority of the game and be largely unimpeded on the scoreboard. Until I see this hot streak stopped with my own two eyes, I’m smashing the more button.
Nneka Ogwumike Less Than 16.5 Points
Nneka Ogwumike is having an unbelievable season. The former MVP has made her 10th All-Star game on the back of exceptional scoring and defense. But she’s been in a bit of a funk recently.
Nneka has scored 16 or fewer points in four of her last five games. That includes a contest against the Connecticut Sun, whom the Storm will be facing on Wednesday. Owners of the worst defense in the league, you’d expect Ogwumike to go wild in this matchup. It’s not that the matchup for Ogwumike is a problem; it’s that the Sun are SO bad that she won’t play long enough to get hers.
The Sun have suffered 10 straight losses by an average of 20 points. Their last matchup was a 97-81 victory for the Storm where Ogwumike only played 23 minutes, a season low. Unless Connecticut suddenly finds a way to be competitive, I doubt Ogwumike plays enough to get over her slump.
Caitlin Clark More Than 2.5 Threes Made
Caitlin Clark is finally back in the lineup. And, luckily for her, it’s a home game. Clark’s home-road splits have been drastic this season; she’s shooting 22-for-50 on three-pointers at home and 1-for-28 on the road. It’s one of the more jarring splits in the league.
This Valkyries defense has impressed. In particular, their guard defense has been outstanding. After two leg injuries in the first half of the season, it may take Clark a few games to get the engine running again. Even if she’s hesitant to drive and penetrate the paint, she can still shoot from deep. I expect a show from the All-Star captain.
