Core Plays

Captain/MVP

A’ja Wilson $17,100 DK | $11,000 FD

Wilson is going to have to step up majorly for her team tonight as the Aces are without Chelsea Gray and Kia Stokes. With Stokes out of the lineup and with Candace Parker still not able to return, she is going to have to patrol the paint and play a huge role tonight. She is the best player on this team and if they are going to clinch the Finals tonight, they need her to come up big. Wilson has scored more than 35 fantasy points in six of her eight postseason games and has the highest upside of any of the players on the slate. She is the most expensive player on this slate but is the best player in this matchup and the Aces are goin to have to rely on her early and often, more than they ever have before.

UTIL/Flex

Jackie Young $8,600 DK | $7,000 FD

Young is coming off her worst game of the playoffs and with the team without guard Chelsea Gray, they are going to need her scoring. She had scored over 20 points in the first two games of this series and the way to attack this Liberty team is through the guards. Young was only able to get up nine shot attempts, which it is unusually low for her. Usually she averages around thirteen to sixteen shot attempts per game and with one of their main guards out, she will have to shoot more. She has scored over 30 fantasy points in six of her eight playoff games so far this postseason. With a win tonight, the Aces can clinch their second WNBA title in a row.
