Game-by-game — CASH / GPP tags + notes
LA Sparks (+1.5) @ TOR Tempo (-1.5) · O/U 179.5
| Player | Tm | Pos | $ | Proj | Cash | GPP |
|---|
| Nneka Ogwumike | LA | F | $9,900 | 38.8 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Dearica Hamby | LA | F | $9,200 | 37.6 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Ariel Atkins | LA | G | $6,900 | 25.7 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Rae Burrell | LA | G | $6,400 | 24.8 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Erica Wheeler | LA | G | $6,200 | 25.1 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Marina Mabrey | TOR | G | $10,600 | 38.7 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Isabelle Harrison | TOR | F | $8,700 | 37.9 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Nyara Sabally | TOR | F | $8,300 | 22.7 | – | ✓ |
| Julie Allemand | TOR | G | $6,600 | 20.5 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Maria Conde | TOR | F | $6,300 | 22.9 | ✓ | ✓ |
Points should fly — both teams play with pace and neither plays much defense. Plum out condenses the Sparks' usage; expect Burrell back starting and all five Sparks starters laughably underpriced. Rule: minimum 2 Sparks in every lineup. Nneka and Hamby are the favorites, but Atkins is a premier tournament play. Tempo face a historically bad defense down their best on-ball defender (Sykes). Mabrey and Harrison are elite — both soak up massive usage; Harrison's a fantasy monster and the price bump may scare people off. Mabrey is live for 25+ shots. Conde is a sneaky overlooked pivot.
DAL Wings (+5.5) @ LV Aces (-5.5) · O/U 177.5
| Player | Tm | Pos | $ | Proj | Cash | GPP |
|---|
| Jessica Shepard | DAL | F | $10,400 | 37.9 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Paige Bueckers | DAL | G | $10,200 | 32.9 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Azzi Fudd | DAL | G | $8,500 | 24.4 | – | ✓ |
| Arike Ogunbowale | DAL | G | $7,600 | 23.6 | – | ✓ |
| Awak Kuier | DAL | F | $5,200 | 15.8 | – | ✓ |
| Aziaha James | DAL | G | $4,900 | 15.9 | – | ✓ |
| A'ja Wilson | LV | C | $12,500 | 51.0 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Jackie Young | LV | G | $10,500 | 37.2 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Chelsea Gray | LV | G | $9,100 | 33.1 | ✓ | ✓ |
| NaLyssa Smith | LV | F | $7,500 | 26.6 | ✓ | ✓ |
A'ja Wilson is the premier play of the slate at $12,500 / 51.0 — the anchor. Young and Gray complete a powerful Aces cash core, with NaLyssa Smith a strong mid-price piece. On the Wings side, Shepard and Bueckers are the cash-viable leads; Fudd, Arike, Kuier and James are tournament dart upside in a game Dallas is a 5.5-point dog.
NY Liberty (-11.5) @ SEA Storm (+11.5) · O/U 169.5
| Player | Tm | Pos | $ | Proj | Cash | GPP |
|---|
| Breanna Stewart | NY | F | $11,300 | 38.3 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Jonquel Jones | NY | C | $9,800 | 37.5 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Sabrina Ionescu | NY | G | $8,900 | 27.0 | – | ✓ |
| Pauline Astier | NY | G | $6,100 | 21.1 | – | ✓ |
| Leonie Fiebich | NY | F | $5,500 | 17.9 | ✓ | ✓ |

| Dominique Malonga | SEA | C | $10,100 | 38.6 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Natisha Hiedeman | SEA | G | $9,400 | 29.3 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Flau'Jae Johnson | SEA | G | $8,200 | 26.4 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Awa Fam | SEA | C | $8,000 | 24.6 | ✓ | ✓ |
Lowest total on the slate (169.5) with NY a big 11.5-point favorite. Stewart and Jonquel Jones are the cash anchors; Ionescu, Astier, Fiebich and Laney-Hamilton offer GPP range. At home, the Storm are live to keep it competitive — Malonga is a cash-grade center and the Seattle guards (Hiedeman, Flau'Jae Johnson) plus Awa Fam are all cash/GPP viable.
