There are six games in the W today, tipping off at 3 PM EST between the Lynx and the Storm and the Mercury visiting the Sparks. The slate ends at 10 PM with the Wings visiting the fire.
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.
Breanna Stewart More Than 8.5 Rebounds
Stewart is averaging 8.6 RPG, so this number falls directly in line with what she has provided throughout the season. She enters Wednesday after grabbing 13 rebounds in Monday’s overtime win over Dallas, albeit the extra time certainly helped her final total.
The matchup remains the bigger attraction, as Chicago has allowed a league-high 46.8 opponent rebounds per game and 51.3 over its past three. Jonquel Jones will claim her share of those opportunities, but the Sky have created enough total volume for both New York frontcourt stars to stay busy.
Kahleah Copper More Than 20.5 Points
Copper’s line matches her 20.5 PPG average, but this is one of the strongest scoring environments she could draw. Los Angeles has allowed a league-high 93.6 PPG, including 94.0 over its past three games, and Copper has already shown that she can punish this matchup. She erupted for a career-high 41 points against the Sparks in June, making 16 field goals and six 3-pointers. We obviously do not need anything close to a repeat performance for this selection to work. Copper remains Phoenix’s leading scorer, and we’re banking on the matchup helping her get to at least 21.
Jessica Shepard More Than 5.5 Assists
Shepard has developed into one of the WNBA’s most productive frontcourt facilitators, averaging 5.3 APG alongside 14.8 points and 11.9 rebounds. She cleared this number with six assists against New York on Monday, when Dallas played without Paige Bueckers, and Bueckers is listed out again Wednesday. That should keep Shepard heavily involved as a passer while the Wings run possessions through her in the half court. Portland has allowed a league-high 23.3 assists per game, including 24.0 at home and 29 in its latest contest.
