Chicago

The Dream (12-9) and Sky (7-14) meet at 11:00 a.m. CT in Chicago, and we were able to see a little slow start with the early tip.

We will also miss some large offensive pieces, since Rhyne Howard (knee) will not be able to adapt, and Angel Reese (leg) and Ariel Atkins (leg) are each. Chicago is two starters in a team that has already struggled, bad news.

After Reese fails, Rebecca Allen, Maddy Westbeld and Elizabeth Williams, are candidates to see a bump in the season, although Williams is probably the best candidate from DFS perspective. With Atkins, Kia Nurse and Hailey van Lith will probably recognize additional tasks in addition to Rachel Banham.

Howard checked for the dream due to a violation of the left knee from the game on Friday in Indiana. Maya Caldwell should see more run, while Nia Coffey, Naz Hillmon and Te-Hola Paopao will probably see more minutes.

Phoenix Mercury In Minnesota Lynx

Line: lynx -11
O/U: 159

Injury report – Mercury vs. Luchs

Phoenix

Minnesota

The mercury (15-6) and Lynx (19-5) will meet, and Phoenix will be a bit short. Phoenix usually has a “Big Three”, but the team will only cover one of these three Wednesdays.

Kahleah copper (thighs) and Satou Sabally (ankle) are each failed and, to make things worse, the versatile guards monique Akoa-Makani (concussion) and Alexa are also held on the ball (chest).

Based on Kitija Laksa, Sami Whitcomb and Kiana Williams, since these two will have time, since copper is equipped for a fourth game in a row and is also held and Akoa-Makani is also out. With Sabally for a fourth competition in a row, Dewanna Bonner, Natasha Mack and Kathryn Westbeld should see more time.

Minnesota is much healthier and it would not be a bad idea to set up a list with a handful of lynx players because the Mercury is so scarce. This would usually have been a party slaughter, but could be a bit one -sided on Wednesday afternoon.

Valkyries Golden State In Seattle Storm

Line: Sturm -5
O/U: 157.5

Injury report – Valkyries against storm

Golden state

Seattle

The Valkyries (10-11) and Storm (13-9) in the Climate Pledge Arena and it is a lunch point in the northwest of Pacific. This is a very early tip time, so we could have a slow start like the game between Atlanta and Chicago.

These teams met twice and Golden State won two victories as outsiders. However, each of these meetings was in the Bay area, and this is the first time that the clubs meet in Seattle.

Both teams are relatively healthy, which is a good contrast compared to the first two games on the slate. Golden State has the 12th place in the league in the league with 80.1 points per game (PPG) with 80.1 points (40.6 percent) and three points percent (31.1 percent). In defense, the Valkyries are excellent and only allow 78.6 ppg in the league, while with a 40.4-defensive field target percentage.

Seattle is offensive on average, but defensive it is only 79.0 ppg. This is in third place in the WNBA, so it may not be a great idea to roll the cubes for Valkyries players for DFS purposes.

Indiana Fever In New York Liberty

Line: Liberty -9.5
O/u: 163.5

Injury report – fever against Liberty

The big news in this game is Caitlin Clark. According to reports, she felt something in her groin area on Tuesday 85-77 victory over the Connecticut Sun, and it is not yet clear whether it will be available for the competition on Wednesday. With an evening copy, it would be advisable to deal far from the situation.

If Clark plays, she could fight and if she fails, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald could be asked again to fill the emptiness.

For freedom, Jonquel Jones (ankle) is out of the way again, so Leonie Fieich, Isabelle Harrison and Nyara Sabally should continue to perform for New York.

Las Vegas Aces At Dallas Wings

Line: aces -5.5
O/U: 170.5

Injury report – Aces vs. Wings

Note: All return data are just estimates

Las Vegas

Dallas

The Aces (10-11) and Wings (6-16) will be fighting on Wednesday, and although Dallas largely has problems this year, Las Vegas was inconsistent in the first half of the season.

Las Vegas received great news at the Wild 104-102 on Saturday against Valkyries when superstar A'ja Wilson (wrist) was able to measure himself. She not only played, but also dominated 34 points in 12-of-16 shooting, while she scored 16 rebounds.

The wings allow 86.7 ppg in the WNBA 11th place and enable 45.2 percent from the field (12th) and 37.3 percent behind the three -point line (13th).

Construction of a Las Vegas stack is a great idea against the defensively painted wing. In the first meeting in Las Vegas, these teams combined 172 points, an 88-84 victory of the ass on June 13th. Jackie Young scored 28 points in a game that Wilson did not play while Jewell Loyd had 21 points.

Top WNBA DFS selection: Key player to see

Fanduel

Since Reese fails to Chicago, Brionna Jones and the front court player could have a lot of success against the replacement in the Windy City for the dream. If you can manage the salary, roll against the wings with Wilson because she dominated Golden State and it should be able to register large offensive numbers against the fighting wings. On the other hand, JJ was very effective against the fever on Sunday, and she has at least 13 points in five consecutive excursions. We supported Sabally and McDonald two weeks ago, and you probably have big roles with Jones Out for the status of Liberty and Clark for Indiana in question.

If you can work in Boston's salary in a DFS list, it could be an enormous option, regardless of whether Clark is available. Boston continues to grow as a player and she is an emerging superstar. Consider Indiana in the Colson if Clark cannot play. McBride and the lynx could go out against the impressed mercury, and it is much more affordable than superstar Napheesa Collier. Again Williams is a good player because she should see a much larger role in the crime because Atkins and Reese are on the shelf.
