We’ve only got two games on our slate tonight, with the Dream visiting the Liberty at 8 PM EST. The Wings will visit the Storm to close out the night at 10 PM.
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 19.5 Points
Atlanta beat New York on Monday without finding much of an answer for Stewart, who scored 27 points on 11-of-19 shooting without making a three. She attempted 18 shots inside the arc and eight free throws, giving her plenty of ways to punish the Dream’s defense again tonight, even if it may not necessarily lead to a win. Stewart has scored at least 24 points in all three games since the break, averaging 16.7 FGA and 7.7 FTA. With New York still missing Satou Sabally, Stewart’s scoring responsibility makes 20 points a plenty approachable target tonight.
Angel Reese More than 15.5 Points
Reese’s scoring opportunities make this line appealing, especially with Brionna Jones out of Atlanta’s frontcourt. She has attempted at least 13 shots and eight free throws in each of her three games since the break, scoring 30, 23, and 18 points.
New York’s size hasn’t prevented her from getting involved, either. Reese scored 25 points in their June meeting and attempted 14 shots and eight free throws against the Liberty on Monday. She made just half of those free throws in the latest matchup and still cleared this number, leaving her a ton of room to reach 16 tonight.
Paige Bueckers More than 21.5 Points
Seattle has to contend with an increasingly aggressive Bueckers while missing Ezi Magbegor, an absence that should make protecting the basket more difficult. Bueckers has increased her shot attempts from 13 to 19 to 22 across Dallas’ three games since the break, scoring 26 and 30 points in the last two.
She also scored 32 in the previous Seattle matchup, although that performance included a perfect 6-for-6 night from three. The better reason to back her tonight is the sustained workload: Bueckers is averaging 25.0 PPG on 18.0 attempts since the break, with Azzi Fudd still unavailable.
