WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/22/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, we're still not sure if tonight's Lynx/Storm Game 1 is happening, as Sunday's game was postponed after multiple Storm players had inconclusive positive COVID tests. They've got to test negative two days in a row to be cleared to play, so we'll know more later today about whether or not it will go on.

In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 9/22/20. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

WNBA - DFS Guards

DeWanna Bonner (G, Connecticut Sun) – vs Las Vegas Aces (DK: $10,700, FD: $8,000)

Bonner really struggled with her shot in Game 1, going 2-for-12 with eight points. But Bonner is still the highest upside guard on this slate of games, a high-volume scorer who is always a threat to record a double-double and who takes on a solid playmaking role and had four assists in the first game of the series. If you want to pay up at guard, Bonner's the best option to pay up for.

Natisha Hiedeman (G, Connecticut Sun) – vs Las Vegas Aces (DK: $4,900, FD: $4,600)

I think this is a good slate to go cheap at guard.

Hiedeman's role hasn't been super consistent, but she played 17 minutes off the bench in the first game of the series, scoring 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting and adding three rebounds and three assists. Could she wind up playing four minutes and being a non-factor in this one? Sure, but she was effective enough in that first game to likely earn minutes in this one, giving her solid upside at a really cheap salary.

Sugar Rodgers (G, Las Vegas Aces) – vs Connecticut Sun (DK: $4,000, FD: $4,500)

Game 1 showed us that the Aces really need three-point shooting. Could that lead to a larger role for Sugar Rodgers, one of their only three-point threats, in this one? Maybe! Rodgers missed all four of her shot attempts in Game 1, but she averaged 2.9 three-point attempts per game in the regular season. She took five or more attempts four times in the regular season. Look, Rodgers could get you nothing in this contest, but if the Aces are desperate for shooting, she'll get some minutes and some opportunities. I'm fine rolling the dice on that possibility considering her low salary.

 

WNBA - DFS Forwards

A'ja Wilson (F, Las Vegas Aces) – vs Connecticut Sun (DK: $11,400 FD: $8,200)

For the Aces to win this series, 2020 MVP A'ja Wilson has to keep being A'ja Wilson. She did that in Game 1 but didn't get enough help from the rest of the team, scoring 19 points on 8-for-15 shooting and grabbing nine rebounds plus blocking a pair of shots. The Connecticut defense is scary, but Wilson's touch near the basket and her role on this offense make her an incredibly high-floor, high-ceiling DFS play. She was the WNBA's best player in the regular season and head coach Bill Laimbeer is going to give her ample chances to prove she deserved her MVP award.

Alyssa Thomas (F, Connecticut Sun) – vs Las Vegas Aces (DK: $11,200, FD: $7,500)

PLAYOFF ALYSSA THOMAS.

Through three games, Thomas is averaging 21.7 points on 52.1 percent shooting with 8.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists and 2.7 steals per game. She's even shooting 93.8 percent from the free throw line despite having two torn shoulder labrums.

How do you stop her?

Maybe the key is that you just don't and you focus your defensive energy elsewhere if you're Vegas, shutting down players like Jasmine Thomas instead. Alyssa Thomas is going to get her numbers in this one, regardless of how the game actually goes.

Sylvia Fowles (F, Minnesota Lynx) – vs Seattle Storm (DK: $7,800, FD: $7,200) 

A big risk/reward play, Fowles missed a huge part of the regular season with a calf injury. But she played 18 minutes in the team's last playoff game, and while her calf tightened up, she's had some days of rest since. I fully expect Fowles to be on the floor.

And when she plays, Fowles is such a force. In her seven regular season games, the veteran center averaged 14.6 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, along with 1.1 blocks. She had 15 points and 11 rebounds against the Storm.

The risk here is that even if Fowles plays, she ends up being limited. But in a GPP where you need to take risks, the upside that Fowles presents is just far too high for me to ignore her.
