WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Dream (7-12) hope to end a three-game slide and improve on their 4-5 road as they face the second game of a three-game road trip. The Sun (16-4) have won two in a row and look to keep rolling as they return home to kick off a three-game stand with the opportunity to add to their 8-2 home record.
The Dream remain hindered by injury trouble, which leaves major opportunities for Nia Coffey, Naz Hillmon and Maya Caldwell to look to step up. Allisha Gray is doing her best to lead the charge, averaging 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per game over the last five outings. Tina Charles and Haley Jones also continue to do a lot of the heavy lifting, each averaging over 27 minutes per game across the last five.
Tyasha Harris remains questionable for action, which could mean another start for Veronica Burton, who delivered nine points, two rebounds, three assists, four steals and a block in the last outing. DeWanna Bonner leads the Sun, averaging 16.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. DiJonai Carrington averages 13.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals, while Brionna Jones and Alyssa Thomas also average over 12 points per game.

The Wings (5-16) begin a two-game road trip with the hopes of improving on their 2-10 road record. The Aces (12-7) look to bounce back from a five-point loss in L.A. on Friday and improve on their 7-4 home record as they return from a one-game stand.

Natasha Howard is the second-leading scorer, averaging 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals, while Monique Billings is averaging 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Chelsea Gray is averaging 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists across five starts, including a high of 22 points since returning from an extended absence.

The Mercury (10-10) hope to build off a win in Dallas on Wednesday and improve on their 3-6 road record. The Sparks (5-15) are coming off a five-point home win over the Aces and look to keep the momentum going with the opportunity to add to their 4-5 home record.
The Mercury could be at a severe disadvantage if in addition to Diana Taurasi, their top-two rebounders Rebecca Allen and Brittney Griner are also held up by injury. On a positive note, Kahleah Copper reached the 30-point mark for the sixth time this season as she delivered a 34-point effort in Wednesday's win in Dallas. Additionally, Natasha Cloud continues to stand out offensively, while Sophie Cunningham, Sug Sutton and Natasha Mack could be up for a boost off the bench.
Dearica Hamby leads the way for the Sparks, averaging team highs of 18.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Rookie, Rickea Jackson is the squad's second-highest scorer with 10.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, while Aari McDonald averages 9.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game. Stephanie Talbot, Li Yueru and Rae Burrell continue to pick up increased opportunity to offset the team's injury trouble, while Layshia Clarendon and Zia Cooke have also seen a fair bit of playing time lately.
