There aren’t any games on Monday, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have another exciting week in the W coming up. Before we get into that, let’s take a look back at last week.
Arike Ogunbowale has been dominant through the first five games of the season, averaging 28.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 steals and 3.2 triples in 38.2 minutes per game. That includes her dropping 40 in a win over the Mercury on Saturday, which was her highest-scoring game since she dropped 41 in the Commissioner’s Cup last June. Unfortunately, they only play two games next week, which will limit her fantasy impact.
Kahleah Copper is the only player averaging more points per game than Ogunbowale this year is Copper, who is putting up 29.2 points and 3.6 triples through five appearances. After spending the last seven years in Chicago, this is her first season in Phoenix, and he is currently shattering her previous career-highs of 18.7 points and 1.8 threes per game. Through the first two weeks of the year, Copper is sixth in total fantasy points with 208, but with four games this week, she should rise.
Napheesa Collier is the league leader in fantasy points per game (by ESPN’s standard scoring format) is Collier, who is averaging 48.4 FPPG. She has stuffed the stat sheet with 23.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.8 steals, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 triple per game, and she is currently fourth in the league in scoring, third in rebounds and first in steals per game. It has been a spectacular start for her, which has helped the Lynx jump out to a 4-1 start.
There is only one undefeated team left in the WNBA. The Connecticut Sun have jumped out to a 5-0 start, and Alyssa Thomas has been a big reason why. She is averaging 15.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game thus far and has accumulated a total of 190 fantasy points. She is the only player that ranks in the top five in both rebounds and assists, and she already has one triple-double this season, though she fell just short of getting a second one last Monday. They’ll put their winning streak to the test on Tuesday against the Mercury.
Week 3 games…
