The W tips off at 8 PM tonight with the Aces visiting the Tempo and the Liberty visiting the Wings. The next pair of games will both start at 10 PM, with the Lynx visiting the Storm and the Mystics visiting the Valkyries.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will look at my top Pick6 plays for tonight’s slate. We simply choose whether a player will record more or less of the set statistic. Here are my favorite plays for tonight’s action.
Shakira Austin More Than 9.5 Rebounds
Austin just matched her career high with a massive 16 rebounds against Golden State, and Monday’s immediate rematch gives her another opportunity to exploit the same frontcourt. She also grabbed 11 boards when these teams met on July 6, clearing this line in both matchups this season. Austin is averaging a career-high 9.4 RPG and has raised that number to 10.0 over her last five games.
Golden State allows 43.0 opponent rebounds per game, the sixth-most in the WNBA, and Austin collected 14 defensive boards against the Valkyries on Saturday. Her competition with Kiki Iriafen and Lauren Betts is worth noting, but Austin’s minutes and recent trend are assuring.
Kayla McBride More Than 18.5 Points
McBride has scored at least 20 points in six consecutive games, including 24 in Minnesota’s 101-93 win over Portland on Saturday.
Her 17.6 PPG season average sits just below this line, but that number does not reflect how heavily Minnesota has leaned on her offensive output during Napheesa Collier’s time away. The Lynx have scored at least 96 points in three straight games, with McBride providing the veteran shotmaking needed to keep that offense rolling along. Seattle’s defense has also slipped recently, allowing 96.3 PPG across its last three contests.
A’ja Wilson More Than 10.5 Rebounds
Wilson is averaging 9.8 RPG this season and 10.4 over her last 10 games, putting this line directly within her normal range. She recorded 12 rebounds against Indiana in her most recent appearance and continues to anchor nearly every meaningful Las Vegas lineup. Toronto provides one of the league’s cleanest rebounding matchups, allowing 44.5 opponent rebounds per game, the second-most in the WNBA. That figure rises to 45.4 at home, where the Tempo have struggled to prevent opposing frontcourts from controlling the glass. Wilson’s workload and consistent double-double upside make this a strong way to attack Toronto’s weakness.
