Each day of the WNBA season, our team of fantasy and betting experts breaks down every game on the schedule, making note of everything from injuries and lineup changes to recent trends and more.
Here's what to look for today:
Saturday's WNBA slate features five games, including the Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever traveling to the Michelob ULTRA Arena to face the A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces.
The Fever are 1-5, while the Aces are 2-1, coming off a stunning loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday. It was the Aces' first defeat this season after just six losses last season. Even with Clark in town, expect the Aces to be eager to return to form.
Saturday's fantasy stream team
Sophie Cunningham, G, Phoenix Mercury (rostered in 40.5% of ESPN leagues)
Cunningham played a season-high 30 minutes against the Mystics on Thursday and has scored 20 or more fantasy points in three straight games. Her matchup Saturday against the Wings has the potential to be high scoring as the Mercury will want to get off to a fast start against Dallas. This makes Cunningham a solid streamer.
Stefanie Dolson, C, Washington Mystics (38.6%)
Dolson will likely see extended minutes against the Storm with Shakira Austin out. Dolson has been reliable this season, scoring 16 or more fantasy points in each of her past five games.

Expect the Aces to easily take care of business.

While Washington has yet to win a game, the Mystics have still gone 3-1-1 ATS. There might be some challenges on Saturday as the Mystics will have to play without Shakira Austin and Brittney Sykes, but it's tough to have confidence in the Storm's offense as Jewell Loyd, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike continue to develop chemistry. Seattle ranks 12th in offensive rating but fifth in defensive rating while going are 1-4 ATS.
