Our WNBA DFS picks have been on point lately, so let’s keep the ball rolling into Monday. Today DraftKings offers a nice three-game slate, and we once again have the mighty A’ja Wilson in the player pool.
The big decision is always what to do with Wilson, but on slates this small I tend to lean toward just eating her salary. But where do you go from there? I’ll show you the best plays, some pivots, my favorite values, and more in today’s WNBA DFS preview. Let’s build!
Top WNBA DFS Picks for 6/15
- A’ja Wilson ($12.6k)
- Olivia Miles ($10.5k)
- Janelle Salaun ($7.6k)
Wilson is such an easy click. She is the most expensive player on the board, but she’s also pushing for a 50-point fantasy projection. It’s worth noting that she only got 35 fantasy points against Dallas earlier this year, but her floor/ceiling combo is too good to ignore.
Wilson is the best overall play of the slate and our DFS lineup tool has her in the #1 lineup.

I once again am very high on Olivia Miles. She has been cooking, registering 34+ fantasy points in eight consecutive games. She has scored 24+ real points in three of her last four, including a 29-point gem in her last outing:
Nobody seems to want to guard her, so we should just keep firing her up until they do. Provided she can chip in some ancillary stats, she’s a pretty good bet to smash.
Salaun is a solid third piece to add to The Core. She lacks an elite ceiling and her floor can be shaky, but she projects decently for the price. She cooked in her last game with 33.8 fantasy points in 33 minutes and has scored in double figures in each of her last seven games.
Monday’s WNBA DFS Value Picks
- Cheyenne Parker-Tyus ($3.2k)
- Kiah Stokes ($4k)
- Tiffany Hayes ($5.6k)
CPT is not for the weak hearted, as she has yet to clear 12 minutes in any of her last three games. However, she is still getting some burn and is coming off perhaps her best game of the season.
The big thing here is saving salary. If she can log 10-15 minutes and produce, she could do just enough to let us load up a stacked lineup.
Stokes is a little more expensive but she’s a much more stable play. She sees way more consistent action, getting 17+ minutes in each of her last seven outings. Her floor and ceiling aren’t great, but she’s a safer value pick than Parker-Tyus.
I am not enamored with Hayes in terms of price or safety, but she has twice logged more than 23 minutes in her last four games. Both times it resulted in her clearing 24+ fantasy points. If her shot is falling and she gets extra burn, she could be a nice play in the lower mid-range.
Top WNBA DFS GPP Picks for Monday
- Paige Bueckers ($11.2k)
- Jackie Young ($10.7k)
My favorite WNBA DFS pick for tournaments is easily Bueckers, who is probable to return from a one-game absence.
I was all over Wings players when she sat out, but now that she’s back she is shaping up as an elite GPP play.
Bueckers isn’t cheap and she’s showcased a lower than desired floor, but she has an elite offensive skill-set and definitely brings a nice ceiling to the table. Dallas will need her in what could be a high-scoring tilt with the Aces.
I’m curious what Jackie Young’s ownership will be. However, since people want to play Wilson (and probably Miles as well) I tend to think she could get overlooked. That, and teammate Chelsea Gray is a similar play for about $1k cheaper.
If that all holds true, Young is a pretty great GPP play. She’s leverage on Wilson and she’s a pivot off of Miles, plus she comes into the night with the second best projection. She’s been playing very well, too, getting big minutes (34+) in six straight, while topping 36+ fantasy points in each of those contests.
Top WNBA DFS Game to Stack on 6/15
- Dallas vs. Las Vegas (5 pt spread, 177 total)
This is the best game to target. We have Wilson as a core play on one side, other Aces like Young and Gray also look good, and you have Bueckers as a fine GPP play across from them. I want exposure to this game if I can help it.
