Seth Stinehour’s WNBA DFS Picks article: Jonquel Jones and more!
I did not realize there was going to be a showdown slate today but I wanted to get something out there for you degens. Looking at this slate I think it revolves around one question mainly is Jonquel Jones hurt? About two to three weeks ago a Rebecca Lobo noted that Jonquel Jones might be suffering from a foot injury. Well ever since then the Sun have been limited Jones minutes whether foul trouble or not so I am seriously considering the fact that she might be hurt.

Why is Jones being hurt important? Because the Sun need to win to hold the two seed and possibly get the one, the Sun are going to run their starters into the ground, look at the minutes for Jasmine Thomas, Courtney Williams, and Alyssa Thomas over the last four games. There is a clear push by the Suns to get that playoff spot But in this matchup at home I like all of the core Sun even Shekinna Stricklen who I would normally never recommend I think is a strong play. One Sun I like as a value play even though she only got four minutes last game is Morgan Tuck, not crazy to think she gets fifteen minutes here.
As for Dallas Wings it’s the Arike Ogwunale show, everything flows through Arike she is going to shoot the ball 30 times in this game, fade at your own risk. The fade is a lot easier to pull off on FanDuel than on DraftKings. On DraftKings the cap is so loose and she is easy to fit. On FanDuel you could pivot to Alicia Gray in an Arike fade.
Kaela Davis is still a strong value play.As for the Dallas Forwards as a pivot off a chalky Glory Johnson who got hot last game I like going to Isabelle Harrison though neither have a strong matchup. Also if you are into revenge Kristen Anigwe was just traded from the Sun and hates the Sun coach she could get upwards of 20 minutes here she might be the strongest value play on the slate.
