After a loaded slate on Friday, the WNBA returns on Saturday with three games on the agenda. Chicago will head to Indiana to meet up with the Fever, with this game leading the way from a Vegas perspective with a projected combined score of 168 points. Atlanta and Dallas has an anticipated score of 147 points while New York and Los Angeles will battle it out, with both teams playing their second of a back-to-back. Look for the Sparks to handle the Liberty in decisive fashion, potentially meaning more rest for their top players and less fantasy points for all involved.
In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/15/19. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

WNBA - DFS Guards
Courtney Vandersloot - G, @ IND ($7,300 FD, DK)
While Vandersloot has struggled to shoot the ball efficiently from a percentage standpoint, her tendency to put up shots in bulk certainly makes up for it in addition to leading the league with 8.4 assists per contest. She is also solid defensively, sporting nearly two steals per game and is always a prime candidate for a triple-double, which is very possible on Saturday. With this game against the Fever anticipated to feature an above-average pace, look for the veteran to come close to hitting her value. Also, don’t forget about Diamond DeShields if you are looking for an effective stacking opportunity, with the 24-year-old hitting at least 38.5 fantasy points in three of her last four contests (FanDuel) while averaging 45.8 percent from deep on the year.
Kelsey Mitchell - G, vs. CHI ($5,500 FD, DK)
After an unproductive start to the season in which Mitchell combined for just eight points in the Fever’s first two games, she has averaged just over 20 points in the five games since. Considering her production, she is very reasonably priced and should be utilized, especially if Shenise Johnson, who has missed all but two games this season with a knee injury, isn’t able to go. If you are looking for some more value at the guard position, check out Brooke McCarty-Williams, who has filled in nicely in the absence of Alana Beard and could see more action if Los Angeles puts away New York early.
WNBA - DFS Forwards
Amanda Zahui B. - F, @ LAS ($6,200 FD, DK)
After playing just 21 minutes on Friday as a result of the one-sided loss to the Aces, Zahui B. should be ready to log a full workload on Saturday. She has hit at least 42.3 fantasy points (FanDuel) in the previous two outings prior to Friday’s massacre and should continue to have a significant role on a squad that is missing both Kiah Stokes and Bria Hartley. If you aren’t able to pay the big bucks for Tina Charles, check her out.
Natalie Achonwa - F, vs. CHI ($5,300 FD, DK)
Achonwa has two double-double performances already on the year, with her most recent coming in her last game where she accumulated 11 points and 10 boards to go along with two blocks. After an seesaw season in 2018, she seems to have found her groove and has cemented a consistent spot in the rotation for an Indiana team that has been relatively decent. Achonwa has also hit double-digit scoring in four of her seven games in 2019, with a good chance of it happening again on Saturday in what will be an offensive showcase for both squads.
