The Skinny
The Sun own the most expected points on the slate as they ride a six-game winning steak into Sunday's matchup with a leaky New York defense. Jonquel Jones paves the way with 15.9 points and 7.5 boards per contest, which should play up against a Liberty team struggles to clear the glass. The Liberty check in among the worst defensive rates across the board, so it may be a good day to stack Sun players.
Connecticut checks in on the other end of the spectrum, possessing the best defensive rating (93.8) on the slate. The Sun play the best defense of the lot against the three-point line, so it may be a day to downgrade the Liberty's three-point shooters. Assists and blocks are the two areas where the may be some daylight, potentially allowing Brittany Boyd and Amanda Zahui B to collect some additional value.

The Skinny
With the majority of the Sparks' roster ready to roll Sunday, Seattle heads on the road as 5.5-point underdogs. The last time the two clubs met, Seattle took home the victory by 22 points. Jewell Loyd and Natasha Howard had field days in the contest, each posting more than 20 points in the contest. Alysha Clark also fell one point short of a double-double despite only logging 23 minutes in the tilt. Howard has been on a tear recently as well, tallying at least 21 points in three of the last four games.
Nneka Ogwumike posted the best showing for Los Angeles in the first clash, recording 10 points and five rebounds despite playing just 13 minutes. If her sister Chiney, who is questionable for the game due to a previous tooth extraction, winds up missing, Nneka may be in line for another sizable effort versus a Seattle squad that has lost two straight games. Seattle also allows the opponents to convert from deep at a slate-high 36.7 percent mark. Three players, Chelsea Gray, Tierra Ruffin-Pratt and Sydney Wiese have all attempted more than four three-pointers on average over the last three tilts. Maria Vadeeva checks in at a highly affordable price on DraftKings as well, though it's worth noting she logged just nine minutes in her first game back from a long layoff.

The Skinny
The final contest of the night pits two teams against each other that combined for a whopping 192 points just last Tuesday. The Mystics came out on top by a six point margin, with Elena Delle Donne (33) and Kristi Toliver (25) accounting for more than half of the team's scoring. Delle Donne, in particular, has hit a major groove of late, notching 28 or more points in four of the last five games. Her 33 on Tuesday marked a season high as she has begun hitting her stride. Ariel Atkins logged a season-high 32 minutes in the team's last game Friday versus the Storm and posted 17 points, five assists four boards and two steals. She could also be a potential boon for those looking for a slightly cheaper option Sunday.
Brittany Griner enters Sunday with a probable tag despite suffering an ankle injury during Thursday's game against the Mystics. Assuming she can go, Griner and DeWanna Bonner will presumably be relied upon heavily again Sunday with a host of players, now five players including Diana Taurasi sidelined for the game. Potential value abounds for Mercury players on FanDuel Sunday, with the top three price differential plays comprising of Bonner, Leilani Mitchell and Yvonne Turner. Given the lack of options off the bench, look for heavy minutes from a small rotation of players, and Turner in particular owns just a $4,100 price tag. While she hasn't displayed a huge ceiling this season, she did post 40-point daily effort against the Aces early in the season when pressed into a season-high 36 minutes.
