WNBA action on Thursday will kick off at 7:00 p.m. ET. 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.
Alyssa Thomas More Than 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Alyssa Thomas is having one of the greatest months in WNBA history. Heck, at this point, it’s one of the greatest seasons in WNBA history.
In August alone, Thomas has put up six triple-doubles in 11 games. That’s more triple-doubles than Sabrina Ionescu’s career mark of four, which is the second-most in WNBA history. We’re running out of superlatives for her greatness, and Thomas is on her way to a fourth straight top-five MVP finish. This is special basketball being played.
Facing a Chicago Sky team that struggles to score or stop opponents from scoring, she should rack up another massive stat line. Expect AT to put up serious numbers and perhaps another triple-double.
Jonquel Jones More Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
It’s been a rocky re-entry for Jonquel Jones over the last month. The reigning Finals MVP missed a whole month with a leg injury that put the Liberty on rocky ground. While the defense remained excellent, her offense has been up-and-down, to put it kindly. But now she’s finding her groove again, and the stats are popping.
Over her last four games, Jones is averaging 19 points, nine rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. Additionally, efficiency has returned. JJ is hitting 57.1% of her shots, including 46.4% from three-point range and 87.5% from the free throw line. This does not bode well for the Washington Mystics.
The Mystics are struggling to get to the end of this WNBA season. They don’t have defenders capable of containing Jonquel. It’s going to be another big night in New York.
Nneka Ogwumike More Than 16.5 Points Scored
Times have been strange for the Seattle Storm. They’ve been up and down all year, and often feel like less than the sum of their parts. But Nneka Ogwumike, at 35 years young, continues to chug along. The future Hall of Famer is averaging 20.1 points per game over her last seven as she tries to keep the Storm in the playoff picture.
This Lynx defense is a difficult test. However, Nneka is matchup-proof mainly due to her combination of size, dribbling skill, and shot-making ability. No. 1 defense or not, Nneka will get hers in this game.
