WNBA action on Sunday will kick off at 3 p.m. ET with the three games tipping off. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will examine my top Pick6 plays for today’s action. You simply choose whether each set statistic will be more or less than the set number. With the stage set, here are my favorite picks on the WNBA slate.
Angel Reese Less Than 11.5 Points
Angel Reese is one of the best rebounders in the WNBA, and lives in the paint. But this Atlanta Dream team is a tough proposition.
Brittney Griner is one of the best rim protectors ever, if not the best. Brionna Jones is a terrific defender in her own right. Atlanta as a unit boasts a great defense that can prevent Reese from getting the ball in advantageous situations. None of this bodes well for Reese.
As the Sky struggle, so has Reese. Against a far superior Dream squad, that struggle will continue on Sunday.
Paige Bueckers More Than 18.5 Points
Over the first four games of the season, Paige Bueckers was averaging 14.7 points per game. Over the last six, she’s up to 23 points per game. The No. 1 pick is making the leap toward stardom as fast as could be expected.
This Mystics defense presents a challenge. Sonia Citron and Brittney Sykes hold up well on the perimeter, and Arike Ogunbowale isn’t taking much attention off Bueckers. But I’m still confident that the rookie will light up the scoreboard in this one. This is another step on her march to the Rookie of the Year award and an All-Star appearance.
A’ja Wilson Less Than 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
This hasn’t been a fun year for the Las Vegas Aces. It’s starting to wear on the defending MVP, A’ja Wilson.
After an all-time 2024 season, her points and rebounds per game have sharply declined. As the Aces have begun to degrade around the edges, Wilson is suffering. Teams can focus more on her defensively, forcing the ball out of her hands and taking away easy looks. And this Indiana team is well-positioned to do just that.
Aliyah Boston is one of the best defensive centers in the league. Natasha Howard, one of the new Fever players, is also an excellent defender. Those two will see the majority of the possessions on Wilson. It’s impossible to shut Wilson down entirely, but they will keep her from going nuclear.
Allisha Gray More Than 17.5 Points
The Atlanta Dream are having an excellent season. That is being driven by a lot of players, most of all Allisha Gray. The two-time All-Star has broken out in a big way, averaging a career-high in points, rebounds and assists per game in addition to a new high in field goal and three-point percentage.
Her roll won’t be slowed by these Chicago Sky. One of the worst defensive units in the league this year, they don’t have the personnel that can shut down Gray and Rhyne Howard. Gray’s push for an All-WNBA spot will be boosted by her monster stat line that is sure to come on Sunday.
