WNBA dfs lineup picks daily fantasy basketball stock

Justin Carter's top daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for 6/9/23. Expert WNBA DFS advice for DraftKings and FanDuel.

We've got a huge slate of WNBA action tonight, as 10 of the league's 12 teams are in action. The only teams not on the court are the Sun and Aces, who played last night in a game that saw Vegas suffer its first loss of the season. Now, the rest of the league takes the floor.

If you're looking for WNBA daily fantasy picks and some betting advice this season, then you're in the right place. I'll be here providing picks for any slate with two or more games, as well as adding a little betting advice as well.

In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. These lineup picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. The slates lock on 6/9/2023 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Want to talk more about the WNBA? I'm always available on Twitter and always down to discuss women's basketball: @juscarts.

WNBA DFS Picks: Forward

Satou Sabally (Dallas Wings)  - vs. PHO - DK: $11,800, FD: $8,600

After the first couple games, I thought Sabally was in the running for Most Improved Player. Now?

It's just been non-stop production for the fourth-year pro. She's basically doubled her scoring from last year, going from 11.3 points per game last season to 22.4 this season, and the depth concerns for the Wings have meant that she's played 34.4 minutes per game.

Sabally scored 24 points last game and grabbed 10 rebounds. It was her fourth double-double in a row, and she also blocked a shot and added a steal. Her assists are down after she had five or more in three of the first five games, but you can live with that when she's consistently giving you 20-10 games.

NaLyssa Smith (Indiana Fever) - @ MIN - DK: $9,300, FD: $6,400

Aliyah Boston has emerged as the Fever's top big, scoring 20-plus points in two of the last three games. But that doesn't mean NaLyssa Smith is out of the picture or anything. While she took just seven field goal attempts last game, she'd taken double-digit shots in every other game this season, and she still managed to score 10 points despite the lower volume.

Minnesota has the league's fourth-worst scoring defense and allows the third-highest field goal percentage in the league. Teams are shooting 50.5% inside the three-point line against them. This is the kind of game where there will be plenty of chances for both Boston and Smith to eat.

Elizabeth Williams (Chicago Sky) - @ LA - DK: $7,700, FD: $5,900

While Alanna Smith has emerged as Chicago's best big, Williams has given the team consistent minutes all year and has played 30-plus minutes in three straight games.

Last game, Williams was uncharacteristically inefficient, shooting just 1-for-7 from the floor. The fact she still managed 20.75 DraftKing points despite the poor shooting is a testament to her production, as she grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists. She also doesn't lose you points via turnovers, as she's had just four turnovers after the team's season opener.

It's also worth noting that the Sparks allow teams to shoot 50.8% inside the three-point line. That's also a good sign for Williams since she makes her living at the rim.

 

WNBA DFS Picks: Guard

Allisha Gray (Atlanta Dream) - vs. NY - DK: $8,900, FD: $6,600

The Liberty have one big weakness: perimeter defense. The duo of Sabrina Ionescu and Courtney Vandersloot is great when it comes to offense, but both are lacking something defensively. The Liberty allow the fourth-highest three-point field goal percentage in the WNBA, with opponents shooting 35.7% from deep against them.

The smart move against this team is to run the offense from the outside. Gray is shooting 35% from deep this year and shot 40.8% from behind the arc last year in Dallas. She's also averaging a career-high 16.8 points per game right now, as well as 3.6 assists per contest, also her best mark ever.

Another thing working for Gray: Aari McDonald is out for the next 3-4 weeks and there's not a healthy true point guard on this roster now. Don't be shocked to see more playmaking fall on Gray and Rhyne Howard, with additional assist opportunities boosting both of them in value.

Jordan Horston (Seattle Storm) - vs. WAS - DK: $6,700, FD: $5,100

Jewell Loyd leads the WNBA in points per game at 28.0, but she's going to miss this game with a foot injury, opening up a lot of usage in this Seattle backcourt.

I expect Kia Nurse to receive a bump here, but rookie Jordan Horston projects to have the largest bump as she seemed to pass Nurse in the rotation last game. In that contest, Horston played 26 minutes and scored 14 points on 7-for-15 shooting, while Nurse played 15 minutes and missed all four of her shots. Both are worthy options, but Horston's a little cheaper and signs point to her having higher usage in this game.

If you want to get really weird, Sami Whitcomb is significantly cheaper than both. But she's a combined 0-for-9 from the floor in the past two games, so while she might play more with Loyd out, I'm not sure we can trust her right now. She's made zero shots in three of the five games so far.

Haley Jones (Atlanta Dream) - vs. NY - DK: $5,200, FD: $4,200

It was announced this week that the Dream will be without point guard Aari McDonald for about a month because of a torn shoulder labrum. They're already without backup point guard Danielle Robinson, leaving them without a true point guard on the roster.

As I mentioned above, some of that likely falls on Allisha Gray, but I also think Haley Jones gets a boost. In college, Jones showed that she's more than capable of running an offense, even if point guard isn't her most natural position, and she's averaged 2.0 assists per game this year despite never playing more than 19 minutes in a contest. Give her 25-ish minutes tonight against a Liberty team that
