The Skinny
The two clubs in this contest come in on opposite ends of the spectrum, with Chicago having won four of its last five contests and Atlanta on a six-game losing streak. The two clubs squared off during that stretch and the Sky took home the victory by just one point despite playing on their home court. Diamond DeShields was the biggest contributor in that contest for Chicago, racking up 22 points to more than double the only other double-digit scorers in Allie Quigley (10) and Kahleah Copper (10). Quigley has gone for 19 and 24 points in the two games since then, so she may be one to consider again Saturday. The Sky have four players in DeShields (5.7), Cheyenne Parker (5.4), Jantel Lavender (7.0) and Stefanie Dolson (6.0) who average more than five boards per game and could feast against the worst rebounding team on the slate.
For Atlanta, the biggest scorer last time around was Renee Montgomery with 23 points to go along with six assists, three steals and three rebounds. She has gone for no more than seven in a game since then and checks in as one of the top five budgetary differences in favor of FanDuel on Saturday, making her a potential value buy on the site. The same goes for Tiffany Hayes, who poured in 16 the last time the two clubs met, though she added little else to her line. Chicago also gives up a slate-high 36.5 points per game in the paint, which helped Jessica Breland reach her only double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 boards the last time the two teams clashed.

The Skinny
Sitting in the middle of the pack in terms of over/under, Minnesota arrives as three-point favorites against an Indiana club that got a win on the board against Atlanta in its last game after losing six straight previously. The buck stop with Odyssey Sims in terms of players who performed well in the previous meeting for Minnesota. Not only did she put up a team-high 25 points, but she added seven assists, seven boards and five steals in a season-high DFS effort. Indiana sports a decent rebound rate, which may slightly collar the upside of star Sylvia Fowles, though she notched 11 boards in the previous matchup. Damiris Dantas went of the last time the two teams clash, so she could be a sneaky candidate to gain some traction after being limited to no more than 18 minutes in her first two games back from injury.
Indiana sports three stabilized leaders in terms of minutes with Candice Dupree, Betnijah Laney and Erica Wheeler, all who have played no fewer than 27 minutes in a game in the last four. Despite owning solid numbersin the paint, it was Indiana's bigs who did much of the damage last time around. Teaira McCowan went for 11 points and seven boards while Natalie Achonwa chipped in another 10 and seven. While it may be a fool's errand to expect the same production from both, there's a chance one or the other posts another solid game Saturday. Kelsey Mitchell led the way the last time the two teams faced off and could be a decent option after a recent downward trend in minutes has likely stripped some of her fantasy price.

The Skinny
Expected to be the lowest scoring contest by a significant margin, Dallas and Las Vegas just squared off July 30 in what turned out to be a 32-point victory for the Aces. Surprisingly, the line isn't a particularly huge one at Las Vegas -5, but that likely factors in the absences of both A'ja Wilson due to injury and Liz Cambage for rest. Since Wilson's absence, Cambage has been, by far, the team's largest contributor, owning a 26.8 usage rate. With her out as well, Kayla McBride and Dearica Hamby likely step into the spotlight for the Aces. Carolyn Swords is a prime candidate to see extended action in the frontcourt, which could place her in lineup filler territory Saturday. Hamby and Tamera Young led the way in scoring Friday, each collecting 18 points against the Wings. Swords also had a sizable contribution in the contest.
Cambage's absence may also have an impact on the Aces' dominance on the boards. She leads the Aces in the category by a considerable margin, so her rim-protecting absence may leave the door open for Theresa Plaisance, Kayla Thornton and Glory Johnson to up their usual totals against the fastest paced team on the slate. It may also allow for more inside scoring than usual, though the Aces typically try to force their opponents to shoot from deep. Arike Ogunbowale led the team in scoring when they squared off Tuesday with 14, while Megan Gustafson has tallied 11 in two straight games after having not reached double-digits all season. Both games happened to be blowouts, but her efforts could lead to a bit more playing time Saturday as well.
