Justin Carter's top daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for 6/11/19. Expert WNBA DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for DraftKings and FanDuel.
It seems like Tuesday slates are always pretty light in the WNBA, but we've got three games for you on Tuesday, including a meeting between a pair of pretty bad perimeter defense teams in Phoenix and Chicago. I'm also avoiding the meeting between two good defensive teams in Washington and Connecticut if possible, though Jonquel Jones might have reached yeah, I'd consider playing her even though Washington allows the fewest rebounds per game territory.
In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/11/19. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

WNBA - DFS Guards
Allie Quigley (G, Chicago Sky) – vs Phoenix Mercury (DK: $6,900, FD: $5,700)
I really like this price for Quigley -- last year's three-point contest winner -- against a Phoenix team that allows a league-high 7.3 made threes per game. Quigley's gotten off to a pretty disappointing start, hitting up 35.3 percent of her three-point attempts after shooting over 40 percent for the past two seasons, but we know she has the potential to be a sniper, and this Mercury backcourt's been rough defensively. This is a great spot for Quigley to shrug off those shooting woes.
Jordin Canada (G, Seattle Storm) – @ Indiana Fever (DK: $8,200, FD: $7,700)
This is a...weird situation. Canada is the second most expensive guard on FanDuel but just ninth in pricing on DraftKings, a disparity that makes me feel pretty good about playing her on the latter site. She's averaging 29.3 DK points per game this season and the Fever allow the fourth-most points per game on the year, so there should be ample chances for Canada to contribute as a scorer and passer in this one.
Kennedy Burke (G, Indiana Fever) - vs Seattle Storm (DK: $3,300, FD: $3,000)
Burke is the lowest priced guard on FanDuel and just $300 more than the lowest priced guard on DraftKings, but she's coming off a strong game against Phoenix in which she scored 18 points on 7-for-8 shooting in 23 minutes. A rookie, Burke was cut by the Wings at the end of the preseason and landed with the Fever, where she's seen her role increase on a game-to-game basis, culminating in Sunday's usage. The Storm are allowing the third-fewest points per game this season, but Burke's extremely low pricing allows you to load up on the slate's heavy hitters.
WNBA - DFS Forwards
Natasha Howard (F, Seattle Storm) – @ Indiana Fever (DK: $11,200, FD: $8,100)
Of all the teams that are playing on Tuesday, the Fever allow the most rebounds per night, and Natasha Howard is fifth in the league in rebounds per game. She's also third in the WNBA in points per game, so facing a fairly soft Fever defense -- it's early, but they currently have the league's fourth-worst defense -- should give Howard a chance to rack up the numbers.
Alysha Clarke (F, Seattle Storm) – @ Indiana Fever (DK: $6,300, FD: $6,200)
Another situation of a Storm player being undervalued on DraftKings! Clarke's averaging 26.8 DK points per game, but is priced a little low because she's missed some time to start the year. She's back now, though, and is shooting the ball on the season while also providing DFS players with solid production across the board, including 2.3 blocks per game. And, as I've stated a few times already, the Fever aren't a great defensive team! Their best performances have come against a winless Dallas Wings squad and a one win New York Liberty team.
Cheyenne Parker (F, Chicago Sky) - vs Phoenix Mercury (DK: $6,000, FD: $5,600)
Parker had her best game on the season on Sunday, scoring 18 points on 8-for-16 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds. She'll face a pretty tough test against the Mercury's frontcourt, but Parker's volume in this offense and her upwards trajectory make her another player whose current pricing feels lower than it should be. If she keeps taking double-digit shot attempts, she'll be in for another strong game.
