Saturday's DraftKings WNBA showdown is a single game, GSV @ ATL, with a $50,000 salary cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. The slate locks Sat 10/24 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Matilde Villa (ATL), Iliana Rupert (GSV) and Brionna Jones (ATL) all carry the DraftKings OUT tag.
Angel Reese tops our model's rankings at $12,400. She has the slate's highest ceiling at 58.6 and a DraftKings average of 40.8. Rhyne Howard ($10,000) follows with a 45.9 ceiling and a 35.2 average. Allisha Gray ($8,800) shows a 45.2 ceiling and a 30.4 average. Jordin Canada costs $11,000, with a 41.0 ceiling and a 32.1 average. On the GSV side, Veronica Burton ($7,800) leads with a 42.0 ceiling and a 28.2 average.
The value plays are where the cap opens up. Janelle Salaun costs just $2,800 and carries a 31.8 ceiling with an 18.9 average. Kaila Charles ($4,800) has a 37.1 ceiling against a 16.1 average, the widest gap on the sheet. DeWanna Bonner ($5,800) pairs a 37.0 ceiling with a 23.7 average.
No ownership figures are available for this slate, so our model's build leans on ceiling and salary alone.
Our model's top lineup uses the full $50,000. Angel Reese sits at captain for $18,600. Rhyne Howard ($10,000), Allisha Gray ($8,800), DeWanna Bonner ($5,800), Kaila Charles ($4,800) and Juste Jocyte ($2,000) fill the UTIL spots. That puts four ATL players around Reese's top ceiling, with Charles bringing GSV upside at a low price.
