Welcome to RotoBaller's WNBA DFS coverage. We have a four-game slate on Sunday, starting at 3:00 p.m. ET with one tip-off. There are three more games set for 6:00 p.m. ET.
Let's look at these three games and talk about what players should excel. In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 7/7/19. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

WNBA - DFS Guards
Essence Carson (Phoenix Mercury) vs. Atlanta Dream (DK: $5,000, FD: $4,100)
Carson was listed as probable for Friday's game due to a back injury, but she was able to play. If G Diana Taurasi (back) is unable to go, Carson might see some extra run. Carson is averaging 7.2 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 2.4 APG across the past five games. That's not huge production, but it's pretty solid at this price level.
Tiffany Hayes (Atlanta Dream) @ Phoenix Mercury (DK: $8,300, FD: $6,800)
Hayes had an ugly game in Minnesota on Tuesday, but he bounced with 21 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal with just one turnover across 32 minutes in the win in Seattle. Hayes has averaged 15.3 PPG over her past eight games, and she is always good for a handful of assists, rebounds and an occasional blocked shot and steal, too.
Kayla McBride (Las Vegas Aces) @ New York Liberty (DK: $8,500, FD: $6,700)
McBride is a tremendous play against a New York defense which ranks 12th in the WNBA, allowing 82.3 PPG. McBride and her teammates should be well rested, too, after having their game against Washington suspended after one half due to an earthquake. In the first two games against New York in a home-and-home back on June 9-14, McBride averaged 21.5 PPG, 6.0 RPG and 4.0 APG.
WNBA - DFS Forwards
Jessica Breland (Atlanta Dream) @ Phoenix Mercury (DK: $7,300, FD: $5,400)
Breland is a bit better of a value at FanDuel, but her salary is still pretty reasonable at DraftKings, too. Last time out, Breland went for 10 points and seven boards, and she had three blocked shots and four steals in a game on July 2 in Minnesota. She can contribute a little bit of everything, which is always pleasing to DFS players.
Liz Cambage (Las Vegas Aces) @ New York Liberty (DK: $9,800, FD: $7,500)
If you want one high-end player, and you're trying to decide between A'ja Wilson and Cambage, make it the latter. Cambage scored 17 points in each of the two games earlier this season against the Liberty, and she posted a total of 14 boards in the two games with five total assists and two steals. Wilson, who just dropped 39 points against Indiana on June 29, averaged 9.5 PPG, 7.0 RPG and 2.0 APG in the two games against the Liberty. Advantage Cambage.
Dearica Hamby (Las Vegas Aces) @ New York Liberty (DK: $6,700, FD: $5,600)
Hamby is a tremendous value against the defensively-challenged Liberty. She struggled with just four points in Friday's suspended game against the Mystics, a game the Aces were not faring very well in. She entered Friday's game averaging 13.0 PPG with 8.3 RPG across three games from June 27-July 2. If she can replicate those numbers, she is a tremendous value. Against New York's poor defense, she should be able to hit those marks and then some.
Kayla Thornton (Dallas Wings) @ Chicago Sky (DK: $7,800, FD: $6,300)
Thornton's scoring has been a bit erratic, but if she is able to simply hit her averages she is a good play at this price level. She is averaging 11.8 PPG, 6.5 RPG and 1.9 APG overall this season, and she is just two games removed from a huge performance with 20 points, nine rebounds and four assists in New York on June 28.
