Thursday presents a three-game WNBA slate. Below, I have featured two of my favorite DFS targets on DraftKings for this slate.

F, Breanna Stewart, New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks, $11,400
Stewart has owned the Sparks this season and that trend should continue Thursday night. The two-time MVP scored 41 and 59 FPTS in her first two matchups with Los Angeles, while shooting 53% from the field. Stewart is amassing 1.3 FPTS per minute with a 27.8% usage rate this season, which is her highest rate since 2022.
Entering Thursday, Stewart has topped 40 FPTS in eight of her last 11 outings, including three outbursts over 50 FPTS. Los Angeles is a favorable matchup, ranking second in pace and second-to-last in defensive rating, and the Liberty’s 97.5-point implied team total on DraftKings Sportsbook is the highest on the slate.
In this spot, Stewart has a floor around 40 FPTS and a ceiling near 60 FPTS.
F, Kiki Iriafen, Washington Mystics at Las Vegas Aces, $9,100
The Mystics are 7-1 in their last eight games, and Iriafen has been huge part of the team’s success. During this stretch, the second-year forward is supplying 32.9 FPTS in 29 minutes per game.
Iriafen is providing 1.1 FPTS per minute while handling a 24.4% usage rate and shooting 50% from the field this season. Her last time out, Iriafen posted 33.8 FPTS across 34 minutes against the Aces, who she will be facing again on Thursday.
Las Vegas ranks sixth in defensive rating, but another showing over 30 FPTS is absolutely within reach for Iriafen. She is an excellent target at this $9,100 salary.
