"🚨 Stream alert 🚨 With Allemand out a second straight contest, Rice would be a strong last-minute addition recommendation for streaming tonight. She drew the start on Sunday vs LA, put up a season-best 27 FP and went for 19 points over 35 minutes. "
May 18 Games
"Morrow continues to impress and is sitting right at the FPPG we projected to start the season. Monday night saw her record her fourth consecutive DD on the season, good for 33 FP, and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. If you drafted her, you're getting great ROI. "
"BG finished one point shy of 6k for a career, but did reward her fantasy owners with a solid 29FP night on 16 points, 5 boards and 4 dimes. "
"We had high hopes for Engstler in this Portland system coming into the year, and Monday we finally saw a glimpse of that production as EE had her best performance of the year going for 28FP on 15/3/2 and 2 steals. Our initial projections had her around the 20FPPG, so this will certainly bump the average. The 28 minutes was a season-high and if her minutes continue to stay above the 24mpg mark, she's a definite candidate for streaming in deep leagues as well as smaller leagues on soft nights. "
"If you took a flyer and streamed the former number 9 pick in the late games, you were handsomely rewarded for your bold choice as Barker put up her best game as a professional. She finished the win with 18 points, tied for a game-high, 4 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals for a 31 FP night. Can't say we watchlist her, but certainly a nice game to keep in the memory bank. "
"The number 1 overall pick had her best game as professional going for her first double-digit game while adding 3 dimes en route to a 19 FP performance. Can't recommend she even make a watchlist at this point, but it was good to see her get quality minutes and shoot extremely efficiently. "
"It's hard to fathom that Smith is still rostered in the vast majority of leagues. She again was a bust, putting up only 10 FPs across only 7 minutes of action. She remains a strong recommend against, even in deep leagues, even if only for a night. "
"Shep put up a game-high 34FP in a home win on Monday going for a DD with 12 points and 16 boards. She added 6 assists and it seems like only a matter of time before she puts up a TD. With Smith's struggles to see the floor or be productive, look for Shepard to continue to be the focal point of the interior game. "
Brittney Griner: PROBABLE → Available ↑ (Left Foot - Sprain) Olivia Nelson-Ododa: QUESTIONABLE → OUT ↓ (Right Ankle - Sprain)
Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu: OUT (Coach's Decision) Costanza Verona: OUT (Coach's Decision) Azzi Fudd: QUESTIONABLE (Right Knee)

May 17 Games
"Rice put up a career-high 19 points in the win Sunday, adding 5 boards and two dimes for a 25 FP night. This is the third consecutive double-figures game for the rookie and in deeper leagues could be a fringe watchlist candidate, particularly if she is seeing 30+ minutes, like she did on Sunday. "
"Slim must love being back in LA because the veteran guard went for another monster performance on Sunday, dropping a career-high 38-point performance. The 53 FP game backs up her 48 FP game from Friday, and she is showing why she had a million-dollar price tag in free agency. Owners that trusted our projections and drafted her a bit earlier than other models have been rewarded handsomly early in 2026."
"Another impressive game from the vet as Nat nearly went for a triple double recording 17/9/7 good for 37 FP. As long as Collier remains out, Howard should light up the stat sheet and reward fantasy owners for the selection. It's too early to know Collier's timeline, but we're putting Howard in the "sell high" category for potential trades later on this season. "
"McBride had a doozy in a loss Sunday, going for 40 FP on 20/7 with 4 steals. A pro's pro. "
"Cloud had a solid 25 FP performance on Sunday. With rotations in Chicago very iffy due to injuries of Diggins, Sloot and now Jackson, Cloud should see a near-term uptick in minutes and production. As long as the Sky battle the injury-bug, look to their others to be options streaming in deeper leagues. "
"Jaquez had a breakout performance on Sunday, cracking 20 points for the first time in her pro career while also adding 8 rebounds. It was a 32 FP game on the road and with an injury to Rickea Jackson, the rookie should definitely be a streaming option 5/18-5/24. "
"Cunningham had a rough time from deep on Sunday, but still managed a very fine scoring performance off the bench, racking up 17 points good for 25 FP in the win. It was her best game of the season, and if Boston is sidelined for an extended period, could see a significant uptick in minutes and production. We will be monitoring the situation in Indy. "
"Hiedeman had her best performance in a Storm uniform Sunday when the veteran guard racked up a season-high scoring total of 19 points, going 3-6 from behind the arc, good for 30 FP. This is more in line of what Seattle was expecting with the free agent signing, but we'll have to see a few more outings of this caliber to put her on the watchlist. "
"Flau'jae put up her second 30-piece fantasy game of the season on Sunday in a road loss to Indy. The rookie wasn't good from the floor, but managed to get to the charity stripe nine times and making eight of them. She went for 14/6, a decent but not spectacular outing, but it was her 4 blocks that made it a very solid fantasy performance. "
Aliyah Boston: QUESTIONABLE → OUT ↓ Bree Hall: OUT (Coach's Decision) Justine Pissott: OUT (Coach's Decision)
Katie Lou Samuelson: OUT (Right Knee) Ezi Magbegor: OUT (Right Foot) Dominique Malonga: OUT (Concussion Protocol) Taylor Thierry: OUT → Available ↑ Taina Mair: OUT → Available ↑
Ariel Atkins: OUT Sania Feagin: OUT (Left Leg - L Leg) Laura Ziegler: OUT (Coach's Decision)
Napheesa Collier: OUT (Left Ankle) Dorka Juhasz: OUT (Right Foot) Liatu King: OUT (Coach's Decision) Emma Cechova: OUT (Right Knee)
"Atlanta's role players answered the call on Sunday providing a big boost with absence of Rhyne Howard. Paopao, the 2nd year guard, delivered her best game of the season, by far, dropping 19 points with 4 3PM, good for 31 fantasy points. No watchlist just yet, but a great sign for her, and the Dream. "
"The 13th overall selection shined today, in front of the home crowd, going for her biggest game as a professional. Okot recorded her first career DD of 14/11, good for 28 FPs, in only 16 minutes of action. With as deep as the league is, she's not a recommend just yet, but if she continues to get looks and minutes, she's certainly worth keeping an eye on for spot duty in deep leagues. "
"Canada threw up her 2nd consecutive impressive fantasy game, going for 33 FPs in the loss at home on Sunday. The veteran point guard should be available in most leagues and has officially hit the watchlist of strong streaming candidates, particularly if Rhyne Howard is out for an extended amount of time due to concussion protocol. "
"By this point, it's safe to assume that Carter is, at best, only sparsely available in even smaller leagues. She put up another impressive per minute stat line going for 20 points in only 21 minutes good for 26 FPs on the game. If she is still available in 4 and 6 team leagues, she's a recommend for a secure spot. "
"The Point Gawd not only put up a massive fantasy performance of 41 on Sunday, she sealed the game with the go-ahead bucket and subsequent steal to push the Aces across the finish line in Atlanta. Gray finished with 21/5/6 but it was her 5 deep balls that really impressed. She once again showed why she is one of the BITB."
Brionna Jones: OUT (Right Knee) Amy Okonkwo: OUT (Coach's Decision) Rhyne Howard: OUT (Concussion Protocol)
Dana Evans: OUT (Left Leg - lower) Janiah Barker: OUT (Head - concussion)
May 15 Games
"Jackson had her best night of the season going for a game-high 29 points while adding 6 boards with 4 deep balls. The outburst was good for 45 fantasy points on Friday night, and the Sparks continue to look silly for trading the young burgeoning wing. "
"If you took our streaming advice for this sharp-shooting rookie, you were handsomely rewarded on Friday night with a season-best 36 FP performance. Her 27 points were the most ever in the WNBA by an undrafted free agent rookie. We continue to recommend Nogic across all leagues. "
"Sykes lived up to our lofty expectations for her as she poured in 48 FPs for owners on Friday night in LA. 27 and 7 with 4 board and 4 steals made for her best performance of the season. "
"14/9/3 with some additional defensive numbers for the 6'5 center. The numbers boost we mentioned a week ago were good for 32 FPs on Friday night in LA. Strongly recommend Sabally across all leagues for streaming and a potential hold in deeper leagues. "
"Juskaite with a breakout game in LA on Friday night logging a stat line of 16 points, 4 assists, 3 boards and 4 steals for 33 fantasy points. She did her work in just 25 minutes as well, so we will be keeping an eye on her rotational minutes going forward. "
"Billings put up a big night for owners with 32 FP across 36 minutes of action. If Boston is down for any significant amount of time, Mo should be an absolute pick up in for the near-term."
"It wasn't the most efficient night for Clark, but her 7 deep balls, 32 points and 8 assists were good enough to reward fantasy owners with a 57 FP night."
"The rookie made her debut on Friday putting up a very respectable 22 FP over 30 minutes of play. If she continues to log huge minutes, she may be a candidate for streaming in deeper leagues."
"HVL went for a season-high 17 points on Friday for a 25 FP game. Can't recommend anything but a watchlist in 10-team leagues, but a quality performance nonetheless."
"Rivers finally gave her fantasy owners something to smile about as the 2nd year wing went for a season-high 32 FP."
"The 4x MVP flexed her scoring muscles on Friday with the league's first 40+ point game as she went for 45 big ones en route to a league-high 59 FP performance."
"The Lynx worst fears were confirmed as an MRI revealed Cechova has torn her ACL and will be out for the season. "
May 14 Games
"The young Australian lead the expansion Fire on Thursday with 23 fantasy points. The former first round pick did a bit of everything, but would need a few more performances like this to make a watchlist. Still, a great game and a ton of potential for the future. "
"Gardner put up 14/5/5 in only 20 minutes of play and has been a reliable bench piece for the Liberty. When the key pieces come back minutes may be harder to come by but in super deep leagues Gardner is worth a watch list on light schedules. "
"Like we said last game, Astier is a sure-fire pick up at this point. She put up her second consecutive 20-point scoring output adding another 30 points to her fantasy tally. If you picked up the young french guard, you made a good choice."
Sami Whitcomb: OUT
"If you kept Smith tonight hoping for a breakout performance, you didn't get it. A better showing with 20 FP, but remains a drop recommendation for the foreseeable future. "
"16 points in 17 minutes good for 24 fantasy points in the home loss on Thursday. Siegrist has seen less minutes than our projections suggested to start the season, so it will be interesting to see if a night like tonight will boost her minutes in the near term. She's a watchlist player at this point in the season. "
"Coffey showing a lot more to start the season than she did last season in Atlanta. The 10-year vet recorded 13 points, 8 boards and 2 block good for 31 FP, and if her minutes continue to be in the 25-30 minute range, she might be a decent look in deep leagues on light schedules. Keep and eye on for now. "
"The long-time vet hit the way back machine Thursday night in Dallas going for a team-high 26 points while adding 5 boards, 4 dimes and 3 blocks. The 41 FP performance was a season-high and was tied for top performance of the night. "
Rebecca Allen: QUESTIONABLE (Left Leg) Sabrina Ionescu: OUT (Left Foot) Satou Sabally: OUT (Cyst) Marine Fauthoux: OUT
May 13 Games
"Despite a poor shooting night from beyond the arc, Clark put up a vintage fantasy game in LA on Wednesday night accumulating 24 points and dishing out 9 helpers for a 44 FP performance. "
"Brink bounced back nicely from a tough first game with a 25 FP performance on Wednesday night. We don't recommend keeping her rostered in 4 or 6-team leagues and generally advise you stream her until she has shown an ability to produce without fouling and her minutes are steadily above 20mpg. "
"Atkins struggled mightily before leaving with an injury in the third. Regardless of her return date, she should be immediately waived for tomorrow's slate, no matter the size of the league. She will be widely available as the season goes on, but as deep as the W is, she can't continue to take up a roster spot. "
"Sheldon showed out again putting up 33 FP in the 2nd game of the season. It's clear Tyler Marsh likes what Sheldon brings to the table and we will be adjusting projections for her moving forward. Keep this player on your radar for streaming purposes. "
"The former Spark put her best game in a Sky uniform on Wednesday night, putting up 18 points and adding 5 rebounds and 5 assists. She even added 2 blocks and a steal for a game-high 35 fantasy points."
"If you saw the latest nownote on Carter, and picked her up, she rewarded you with 44 big fantasy points on Tuesday night. With 27 points, 8 boards, 4 dimes and 2 steals, she should be a must in your streaming rotation, if not a permanent member of the roster, particularly in deep leagues. "
"Mabrey followed up her 41 fantasy point performance with an even better 47 FP game in the Tempo's first win. With perhaps the greenest of lights in the leauge, Mabrey was scorching hot from behind the arc cashing in on 6 of 11 attempts from deep. It was another 25+ point game and she added 4 steals to boost the total."
"The 29-year old Spanish rookie showed out in Toronto's first win putting up 16 points on 4-8 from deep and adding 8 boards for an impressive 30 FP night. Toronto is a deep roster, but with performances like this, Conde figures to be a mainstay of the 2nd unit. "
"Edwards has yet to be cleared for action. The forward will be out Wednesday vs Las Vegas (Thigh)."
"Griner (foot) listed out for Wednesday. "
"Fagbenle (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday."
