The Skinny
The Wings have hit a skid recently, dropping six of their last seven contests. They're facing a Mercury squad that has alternated wins and losses over the past five games, but the team is coming off a decisive victory against the Dream. Both teams have below-average defenses, and one area that the Mercury could especially take advantage of is rebounding. Brittney Griner has been the most consistent on the boards for Phoenix by far, but Brianna Turner has shown flashes of brilliance in that category earlier in the season, with Shatori Walker-Kimbrough also seeing her output jump over the past two games in the absence of Diana Taurasi. Taurasi is questionable for Sunday's game as she deals with a back issue that has kept her sidelined for the past three contests. Even if Taurasi returns to the court, she could be on a minutes restriction, so Walker-Kimbrough could continue to see elevated time on the floor. Walker-Kimbrough has ranked third on the team with 4.5 three-point attempts over the past two games, but the Wings excel defensively at preventing shots from the perimeter. Bria Hartley and Skylar Diggins-Smith could also see lower numbers than they're used to from the outside. The Mercury have the highest pace of any team in the league, but the Wings' proficiency in preventing shots from beyond the arc could slightly limit Phoenix's offensive output.
With Satou Sabally set to miss a second consecutive game for the Wings with a back injury, Tyasha Harris and Bella Alarie could each start once again. Although she came off the bench Friday, Astou Ndour also saw an increased role in the frontcourt with Sabally sidelined. Ndour also led the team in rebounds against the Storm on Friday, and she could have an opportunity to excel in that area once again along with Isabelle Harrison and Allisha Gray since the Mercury also allow rebounds at an above-average rate. Marina Mabrey saw a massive increase in playing time Friday and scored 13 despite shooting an inefficient 5-for-14 from the floor. With Moriah Jefferson (hamstring) sidelined once again Sunday, Mabrey should continue to see an increased role. Outside of rebounding, the Wings have the second-lowest offensive pace in the league, which should limit the team's scoring potential.

The Skinny
The matchup between the Storm and the Sun features two offenses with below-average pace. As a result, fantasy production could be hard to come by. The Sun could be in for a particularly tough game on the scoreboard since Seattle has the most effective defense in the WNBA. DeWanna Bonner is usually one of the most productive scorers for the Sun, but she struggled in area during the team's first matchup against the Storm. However, Brionna Jones stepped up in the frontcourt with a season-high 20 points during that matchup. She saw an increase in scoring during Connecticut's last game, and that trend could continue against the Storm despite the team's relatively effective defense. Both Bonner and Alyssa Thomas has been proficient in their ability to get to the charity stripe. Unfortunately for them, the Storm allow a league-low 13.8 free throws per game this season, so they may not be able to rely on that part of their game as much Sunday. Jasmine Thomas has led the team in three-point attempts over the past two games, and one area where Seattle struggles is in the volume of shots allowed from beyond the arc. The Storm's opponents average a league-high 25.0 three-point attempts per game against their defense, and Thomas could salvage some offensive production as a result.
Despite the Storm's slow pace, the team has the highest-ranked offensive efficiency. Breanna Stewart has been Seattle's top scorer with 18.6 points per game this season, and she totaled a team-high 22 points in the squad's first game against Connecticut. Unfortunately for DFS players, the Sun forced Seattle to spread the ball around in the first matchup between the teams this year. The Storm have also spread the team's playing time around over the past several games thanks to numerous blowouts, so it's hard to tell who could step up on the scoreboard against the Sun, especially if it goes the way of the recent contests. Alysha Clark led the team by a considerable margin with 33 minutes in Friday's contest and responded with 15 points and a season-high seven rebounds, but since there wasn't an absence that led to that spike in minutes, it's unclear whether that kind of usage will continue. Connecticut allows the fourth-fewest number of field-goal attempts in the WNBA, so the high field goal percentage of Stewart and Clark make them candidates to make the most of the few opportunities that the team may have from the floor. Although Natasha Howard has led the Storm with eight rebounds per game over the past four contests, she could have some trouble in that area Sunday since the Sun are above-average on the boards.

The Skinny
The final matchup of the day between the Sky and the Dream could be one of the most appealing from a DFS standpoint. Both teams boast above-average pace, meaning that the teams could run up the score by the time things are said and done. The Dream currently carry a seven-game losing streak while Chicago has alternated wins and losses over the past eight games, most recently losing to Connecticut on Friday. The Dream are the worst team in the league at limiting opponents' field goal percentage, especially from beyond the arc. As a result, Allie Quigley, Courtney Vandersloot and Kahleah Copper, who have each posted sizable shot volumes over the past three games, especially from long distance, could be in for a big night versus an Atlanta defense allowing the highest points per game total in the league. Vandersloot could be an especially valuable asset in DFS contests, given her team-leading 8.3 assists per game, an area the Dream have proven to be vulnerable in defensviely for DFS purposes. Azura Stevens hasn't seen as much playing time as the aforementioned trio recently and has posted inconsistent production. Over the entire season, she has a carreer-high 47.6 percent conversion rate on her field goals, but she's shot just 35.8 percent over the past five games while averaging just 6.8 points during that span. A likely drop in value could make her a tempting DFS option on Sunday's slate if she manages to regain her efficiency from the field.
Chicago's defense is slightly above-average, which could pose a problem for a Dream offense averaging just 75 points per game over the past four contests. Despite the team's overall struggles to generate scoring, Blake Dietrick has seen a major increase in minutes and points over the past two games in the absence of Chennedy Carter. While the Sky have an above-average defense, she could be a bargain in DFS contests if her starting role continues, especially where the salary hasn't quite caught up yet on FanDuel. However, much of Dietrick's success has come via her efficiency from beyond the arc. While she converted on 46.7 percent of her three-point attempts over the past two games, she could have more trouble finding long-range shots against the Chicago defense that has allowed the second-lowest number of three-point attempts this season. The Sky have also struggled with ball control this season as they've allowed a league-high 10.0 steals per game. Betnijah Laney (1.7 steals per game) and Monique Billings (1.1 steals per game) could take advantage of Chicago's carelessness, potentially giving them a slight boost. Billings and Courtney Williams who have paced the team in rebounds this season, could see a slight downturn in that area versus a Sky club posting the third-highest rebound rate in the league this year.
