WNBA Fantasy schedule breakdown: Week 11

We’re less than a month away from the start of WNBA playoffs, which means that your fantasy playoffs should be starting soon. This may be the last week to make up some ground, and plenty of stars around the league are stepping up their game for the second part of the season.

In a rematch of last season’s WNBA Finals, the Liberty defeated the Aces 79-67, though A’ja Wilson was the best player in the game, as she finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and three blocks. In their two games last week, Wilson averaged 29 points, 12 rebounds, four steals and 2.5 blocks while shooting 57% from the floor and 89% from the free throw line and only turning the ball over once. Vegas currently holds the fourth-best record in the league, and if they’re able to make up more ground in the standings, Wilson should easily add another MVP award to her trophy case.

The Dream lost eight straight games entering the Olympic Break, but they won both of their games last week now that they’re healthier. They topped the Sun and the Storm, who both hold top five records in the league. Rhyne Howard scored a season-high 30 points against Seattle, and Atlanta is now just 1.5 games behind Chicago for the eighth seed.

Satou Sabally made her season debut on Friday and finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in a loss to Connecticut. She’s available in roughly 24% of ESPN leagues, so if Sabally is sitting on your waiver wire, change that immediately. She’ll be a star for the remainder of the season.

Week 11 games played:

3 games- NY, LV, CON, LA, DAL, MIN

2 games- PHX, CHI, WAS, ATL

1 game- IND, SEA

Instead of the games all being crammed into four days like last week, they’ll be spread out nicely over six days like a typical week following no games on Monday. Still, Indiana and Seattle only play once, which puts them at quite the disadvantage, especially when half the league plays three games.

Light game days:

Wednesday: 2 games

Phoenix @ Atlanta

Minnesota @ Las Vegas

Thursday: 1 game

Dallas @ New York

Saturday: 2 games

Connecticut @ New York

Indiana @ Minnesota

Sunday: 2 games

Las Vegas…
