WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Aces (14-7) are coming off back-to-back wins and hope to keep it rolling with the opportunity to add to their 6-3 road record as they face the second game of a three-game trip. The Dream (7-14) are on a five-game slide but have a chance to turn things around as they return home with the chance to improve on their 3-7 home record.
Jackie Young poured in a team-high 27 points to lead the way in a win in Seattle on Wednesday, and she has averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.0 steals over her last five appearances. A'ja Wilson is coming off three straight double-doubles, including a monstrous display with 24 points, 20 rebounds, two assists, three steals and four blocks in 35 minutes of action Wednesday against the Storm. Kelsey Plum and Chelsea Gray also continue to play well, while Alysha Clark and Tiffany Hayes remain solid off the bench.
The Dream are significantly limited by injury trouble, which leaves plenty of room for players like Naz Hillmon, Haley Jones, Nia Coffey and Cheyenne Parker-Tyus to continue to step up. Allisha Gray has scored at least 19 points in each of her last five appearances, averaging 20.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over that span. Tina Charles has averaged 16.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 steals over her last 10 outings, including four double-doubles.

WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Mercury (12-10) enter on a three-game win streak and are set to kick off a five-game road trip looking to improve on their 4-6 road record. The Fever (9-14) have dropped three in a row and hope to get back on track in what marks the third and final game of a homestand with the chance to build on their 5-5 home record.
Kahleah Copper topped 30 points in two of her last three outings and has averaged 21.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals over her last 10 appearances. Brittney Griner also stands out as a major scoring threat with at least 20 points in four of her last five outings, averaging 20.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks over that span. Natasha Cloud has six turnovers in each of her last two outings but poured in 31 points in Sunday's game against the Sparks and has two double-doubles over her last five appearances.
Despite a loss, Caitlin Clark poured in 29 points on 7-for-14 shooting against the Mystics on Wednesday. She also had more than 10 assists for a fourth consecutive outing, but she continues to struggle with turnovers, averaging 5.7 per game across her last 10 appearances. Aliyah Boston was limited to just six points in Wednesday's game against Washington but is averaging a team-high 8.3 rebounds per game this season. After starting for most of the season, NaLyssa Smith came off the bench in Wednesday's matchup but still scored in double digits for the third time in four outings. She also has three double-doubles in that span.

WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Lynx (16-6) are coming off back-to-back wins and hope to keep it rolling as they face the second and final game of a road trip with the chance to improve on their 6-4 road record. The Storm (14-8) have dropped two of their last three games and look to get back on track as they face the eighth game of a nine-game homestand with the opportunity to add to their 9-3 home record.
The Lynx showed a great team effort with four players scoring in double digits in each of the last two games to offset the absence of their leading scorer, Napheesa Collier, who is doubtful for Friday. Kayla McBride, Bridget Carleton and Cecilia Zandalasini all scored in double digits in three of the last four matchups, while Carleton, Alanna Smith and Dorka Juhasz have also stepped up on the glass without Collier.
Despite a loss, Jewell Loyd delivered another big-time scoring effort with 28 points on 8-for-22 shooting in 35 minutes of action against the Aces on Wednesday. Loyd ranks as the fourth-highest scorer in the league, averaging 20.2 points per game. Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Ezi Magbegor have thrived as strong contributors across the stat sheet, with their well-rounded play being a key factor in the Storm's success. Mercedes Russell and Sami Whitcomb have been solid off the bench, while Victoria Vivians has seen her minutes decline.
