Core Plays

Captain/MVP

Sabrina Ionescu $12,000 DK | $7,500 FD

Ionescu struggled in her last series against the Connecticut Sun but gets a better matchup here against the Aces in the Finals. For Ionescu, she hasn’t had a great game yet this postseason and in game 1 of the finals, it would be a great start. The key for this Liberty team is if they can get her and Vandersloot going and Ionescu is going to have to score. With the interior being clogged, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones might struggle and this is the perfect opportunity for her on Sunday. In five games against the Aces, she is averaging just under 35 fantasy points a game.

UTIL/Flex

Betnijah Laney $6,800 DK | $7,000 FD

Laney has stepped up in the playoffs and has been a go to scorer for this Liberty team. She is their x-factor and if she can continue to make shots, this Liberty team has a great chance to win the championship. Over her last three games, she is averaging over 20 points a game, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, averaging 37 fantasy points a game. I don’t expect her to have that line tonight, but she needs to play well if the Liberty are going to stay in this.
