WNBA Picks for Today

A’ja Wilson ($10,400 DK)

The pricing on this showdown slate is a bit tricky at first glance. With a 19.5-point spread in favor of the Aces, we could be seeing some shortened run for the top options. That’s exactly what we’ve seen from Wilson in two of the three meetings of these teams in 2023. Las Vegas has won all three games by an average of 30 points and in two of those games Wilson played less than 29 minutes and scored 35.25 and 38 DK points. Of course, the two-time league MVP is by far the best fantasy asset on this slate, averaging 1.41 DK points per minute on the season. But the blowout risk has me hesitating on locking her into my build. With all the other talent on this Aces team and relative lack of standout value, I’m not convinced that Wilson is a must. If I was just running one lineup, I would be likely to play her in a utility spot rather than at captain.

Jackie Young ($8,600 DK)

I’m very high on the two $8k range options from Las Vegas today in Young and Kelsey Plum ($8.2k). Both former first overall picks are priced advantageously given the context of this slate, and if I have to prioritize one of them, I’m siding with Young. She’s crushed this Seattle matchup over the three games this season, averaging 1.26 DK points per minute over a 91-minute sample size. The Storm give up the most fantasy points in the league to the guard position and we’ve seen that play out in a big way for Young. She’s having a fantastic (and potentially underrated) season for the Aces, sporting 52/44/86 shooting splits and sitting in the top ten in the league in steals. Those quick hands should be put to work tonight against a Seattle team that gives up the most steals to opposing teams by a wide margin. I like pairing Young and Plum together in lineups and they’re both strong captain options that leave you some more salary to tinker with than if you lock in Wilson up top.

Kia Nurse ($4,400 DK)

You’ll likely have to dip into this salary range to round out your lineup, especially if you want to get to A’ja Wilson, and the pickings are slim. You can certainly play the Las Vegas value roulette with options like Kierstan Bell, Sydney Colson and Cayla George, but we have to roster players from both teams so let’s discuss Nurse for a moment. She’s a poor fantasy producer, averaging just 0.61 DK points per minute across her 36 appearances in 2023. But over the last seven games she’s played between 16 and 26 minutes in six of them. In that span she’s upped that production to 0.68 DK points per minute, scoring between 11.5 and 20.25 DK points in five of those seven. Double-digit fantasy points aren’t something we’ll see frequently from all the remaining options below Nurse in terms of price. I don’t think we’re going to get to lock and be excited about rostering Nurse (or any of the named Aces values for that matter), but slotting one of those options into a utility spot opens up the salary cap space to feel great about the other five players in our lineups, so if I’m dipping down into this range (as gross as it feels), Nurse is a viable option. If you’ve got the extra $400 in salary you can certainly take a shot on Joyner Holmes. She’s a much better fantasy producer than Nurse averaging 0.86 DK points per minute but has been much less involved in the Seattle rotation of late, playing more than 11 minutes just once in the last 13 games.
