Justin Carter's top daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for 7/30/19. Expert WNBA DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for DraftKings and FanDuel.
We're back from the WNBA All-Star break with a three-game slate tonight, including a home game for the Las Vegas Aces, who hosted the All-Star Game. By all accounts, Vegas did a great job this year hosting and the game itself was probably pretty exciting, though I didn't get to watch it because my Internet was down all day Saturday. Thanks, cable company!
In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 7/30/19. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

WNBA - DFS Guards
Jasmine Thomas (G, Connecticut Sun) – vs Chicago Sky (DK: $9,300, FD: $6,200)
Connecticut hosts the Sky on Tuesday. Thomas had 12 points, seven assists, and two steals the first time these teams met this season, and the Sky are allowing the third-most points per game in the league this season. Thomas has been consistent lately, scoring in double figures in nine of her last 10 games and only having fewer than five assists in a game once over that span. She's also been rebounding well, with five of her last six games ending with at least five boards. Her zero rebounds in the first meeting between these teams was an issue, but don't expect a repeat of that in this game.
Kelsey Plum (G, Las Vegas Aces) – vs Dallas Wings (DK: $6,900, FD: $4,600)
Plum's been the forgotten player in Vegas this year, but she showed a real uptick in her usage over the three games before the All-Star break, especially in terms of attempts from deep. Dallas is allowing team's to shoot the fifth-highest field goal percentage on their three-point looks this year, but over the last five games they've allowed opponents to shoot an absurd 45.3 percent from three. The Wings perimeter defense is starting to collapse, and Plum's in a good spot to take advantage of that collapse.

Liz Cambage (F, Las Vegas Aces) – vs Dallas Wings (DK: $10,900, FD: $8,300)
To say that Liz Cambage's exit from Dallas was messy would be a bit of an understatement. There were rumblings last year that she wasn't happy, then she demanded a trade earlier this year and the Wings went as far as publicly acknowledging the trade request before months of silence. Finally, just before the season kicked off, they dealt her to Vegas.
Cambage gets her second rematch against her old team. In the first one, she had 11 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and five blocks, but in this one fellow frontcourt member A'ja Wilson isn't playing, which means Cambage will take on a even bigger load. She's had three games in a row with double-digit rebounds. She's got a good chance to get 20 or more points. Cambage is my pick to put up the most fantasy points of the night.
Camille Little (F, Phoenix Mercury) – @ Washington Mystics (DK: $5,000, FD: $4,000)
Here's my value pick of the night.
The Washington Mystics defense has struggled lately. Over the last 10 games, they're giving up the fourth-most points in the WNBA. Little's been getting consistent minutes over the last three games, and she's scored in double figures twice in that span and has five or more rebounds in both of those games as well. Little's been around the league for a long time and while her best days are behind her, she's shown lately that she can still be effective when she gets a chance. With Phoenix not being the deepest front court in the league, I expect Little to get a good amount of run in this contest.
