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

F, Isabella Harrison, Toronto Tempo vs. Las Vegas Aces, $7,500
Harrison is a must-play tonight with the Tempo severely shorthanded. Marina Marbey (adductor), Brittney Sykes (foot), Nyara Sabally (calf), Aneesah Morrow (knee) and Maria Conde (calf) all will be out, leaving Harrison as the focal point of Toronto’s offense. Sykes and Morrow were both active, but the rest of this group was inactive Friday vs. the Fire, and Harrison went off for 44 FPTS in 28 minutes.
Harrison has played 43 minutes with Marbey, Sykes, Sabally, Morrow, and Conde off the court this season, and she is producing 1.1 FPTS per minute with a 27.4% usage rate in this situation, which is a 3.3 percentage point upgrade from her season average.
While this isn’t a great matchup with the Aces ranking sixth in defensive rating, Harrison is very underpriced for the huge role she should receive, and another performance north of 40 FPTS is within reach.
F, A’ja Wilson, Las Vegas Aces at Toronto Tempo, $12,700
Wilson should go nuts in this matchup. The Tempo are the worst rated defense in the league, and as discussed above, they are going to be depleted tonight with many key players sidelined.
The Aces present a huge 95.5-point implied team total on DraftKings Sportsbook, and in her one matchup with Toronto this season, Wilson went off for 51 FPTS on 11-of-14 shooting.
Wilson is leading the WNBA with a 32% usage rate and 1.5 FPTS per minute this season, as she is a -1000 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook to win her fifth MVP award. Wilson is likely to lead this slate in FPTS by a comfortable gap tonight, and she is an essential play for this slate.
