Each night of the WNBA season, our team of fantasy and betting experts breaks down every game on the slate, making note of everything from injuries and lineup changes to recent trends and more.
Here's what to look for during tonight's slate:
The lone game in the WNBA on Friday evening pits the Indiana Fever against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Even as the Fever are one of just two winless teams in the league and enter competition as road favorites with Aliyah Boston and star rookie Caitlin Clark as key playmakers.
Keep an eye on Clark in player prop markets. She just delivered a game with 21 points and 14 combined assists and rebounds and while Indiana sits last in the league in defensive rating, the team has some real scoring upside in a matchup with another poor defense.
Let's take a closer look at the players and matchups for tonight's game and find some angles of interest.
Friday's fantasy stream team
Temi Fagbenle, C, Indiana Fever (available in 84% of ESPN leagues)
On a night with limited options, it's comforting to go with a higher floor role player capable of blocks and boards.
Kia Nurse, G, Los Angeles Sparks (Available in 66.6% of ESPN leagues)
Facing an up-tempo young team with porous defensive metrics is appealing for this guard who has averaged 16.3 PPG across her past three games with at least 30 minutes in each appearance.
