We have an interesting two game slate ahead of us tonight. We also happen to have 3 of the best defensive teams on the slate tonight, so this should make for some tough picking and piecing to come up with great lineups. Let’s get into it. First up, we have
-
Los Angeles Sparks @ Washington Mystics
I’ll just keep on saying this, the Sparks are one of the best defensive teams in the league, and they are a very well rounded defensive team too. There’s just no position where you can say it’s safe to attack them. For those on our slack channel you’ll know what I’m talking about by looking at the DvP charts I post (HINT: Join the DFS Army to get access to the VIP content). However, if we must go to Washington for players, the best places to attack will be center and guards. Look to Krystal Thomas and Natasha Cloud here. I’m fading this game except for the occasional Cloud play.
The Mystics are no slouch themselves in defense. The best spots to attack them however are center and guard. Look to Candace Parker, Chelsea Gray, and Odyssey Sims here. Jantel lavender could be an option too if she gets minutes.

Minnesota Lynx @ Seattle Storm
Just like the Sparks, Minnesota is a tough defensive nut to crack. Centers are a no go against them, leaving forwards and guards as the positions to target against them. Breanna Stewart is always in play when she takes the court. Jewell Loyd and Sue Bird are also good options here tonight.
You can lock in Sylvia Fowles, she has a terrific matchup tonight. The Storm can also be attacked from the forward position, so Rebekkah Brunson and Maya Moore are in play too. The guard front is the one spot the Storm defend well. If you really must go here, Seimone Augustus and Renee Montgomery are the choices.
