The WNBA rolls out a solid three-game main slate at DraftKings on Tuesday night. There’s quite a few names on the injury report, but we can already sift through the data and start building some compelling lineups.
Need help identifying the best WNBA DFS picks? That’s where we come in. I’ll focus on the key core plays you need in your lineups, as well as some GPP pivots and values worth targeting. Let’s build!
Top WNBA DFS Picks for Tuesday
- Olivia Miles ($10.4k)
- Cecilia Zandalasini ($5.8k)
- Gabby Williams ($8.5k)
Dollar for dollar the top stud on this slate is easily Olivia Miles. You can definitely use that against the field if she pulls in a ton of ownership, but she simply looks like a great play. Miles is a fantastic scorer who is proving she has a versatile game, as she’s topped 34+ fantasy points now in six consecutive outings.
You can go away from pricey chalk, but she just seems like a great play. She’s also part of the best game environment of the night.
I like Zandalasini for value. Perhaps better stuff opens up, but she’s been getting solid run with 20+ minutes in four of her last five games. She popped off for 18 real points two games ago, so there is a ceiling here. Her minutes went down last game, but if she can hit 20-25 she should have a decent chance at paying off this price tag.
Another elite value up top is Gabby Williams, who is coming off a huge 27-point effort. Her minutes have been solid of late and she’s been pretty productive, topping 31 fantasy points in three of her last five games. She grades out as a solid play in a favorable spot against Phoenix.
Our DFS lineup tool also grades out Alyssa Thomas and Angel Reese as the top two players in terms of projection. I like them both, but they’re expensive. I’d rather start with my WNBA DFS core plays and then work them in if there’s enough value to warrant a stack job.
WNBA DFS Value Picks
- Kiah Stokes ($5k)
- Noemie Brochant ($4.5k)
You could argue to drop down to either of these ladies over Zandalasini, but they’re simply riskier with lower floors. In the name of saving some cash and loading up on some studs, however, we can definitely entertain them.
Stokes actually grades out as the best pure value per our DFS lineup builder, and she’s also appearing in the top WNBA DFS lineup for Tuesday so far.

Stokes saw her minutes dip last game, but she’s logged 20+ in four of her last five. For her price, she looks like a rock solid way to save some cash.
I also like Brochant, who projects worse but has had more reliable burn. Her floor is low, but she’s logged 23+ minutes in three straight games.
Top WNBA DFS Game to Stack
- Dallas Wings vs. Minnesota Lynx (5.5 point spread, 172.5 total)
The showdown between the Wings and Lynx is easily the most stackable game of the slate, as it has the tightest spread and highest total. It’s also a huge game, as Dallas is fourth in the Western Conference and can push for a shot at the top spot with a big win.
Both teams are red hot, winning a combined 11 straight games entering Tuesday night. This game also features some really strong spends, as well as some solid value.
The other two games shouldn’t be ignored, but both games have totals at 164.5 or lower, and both haver 8.5-point spreads.
