WNBA action on Wednesday will kick off at 10:00 p.m. ET. We have a single-game slate with the Sparks taking on the Wings. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is WNBA 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.
Paige Bueckers More Than 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Not much has gone right for the Dallas Wings this year. They’re well outside the playoff picture and lottery-bound once again. But, fortunately, Paige Bueckers has been as advertised. The slam-dunk Rookie of the Year has been just what the Wings needed: a spark of hope.
The Wings have won just two of their last six games, at no fault of Paige’s. She’s putting up 20.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game over that stretch. That’s a clean average of 30.0 points + rebounds + assists. This Wings-Sparks game has a massive total, as both teams play with pace and struggle to play defense. Bueckers will fill the scoresheet in this high-flying affair.
Cameron Brink Less Than 5.5 Points
On the defensive end of the floor, Cameron Brink’s return from her ACL tear has been a rousing success. Not so much the case for the offensive side of the ball.
Brink has played in nine games so far and has scored more than five points in just three of those games. She wasn’t known for her offense, but the limited minutes have held her back even further. Brink has played just 40 total minutes over her last four games. Even with the increased pace and lack of defense in this one, I’m not bullish on her scoring potential.
Kelsey Plum More Than 19.5 Points Scored
Now here’s a Spark who can score. Los Angeles’ turnaround has been spearheaded by the starting lineup reaching new heights offensively. In their last 16 games, they’ve gone 11-5 to launch themselves back into the postseason picture. And Kelsey Plum has been at the head of it all.
Over those 16 games, Plum is scoring 20.7 points per game. It’s nothing new for one of the best scorers in the league, but the consistency has been incredible. Plum has scored 20+ points in 12 of those 16. As I mentioned earlier, this game is expected to be heavy on pace and light on defense. Plum Dawg is going to light it up.
