Fantasy women’s basketball waiver wire: Look to the Mercury – ESPN

Open Extended Reactions

WNBA season highlights are back and there is a lot to cover, especially in preparation for Thursday’s games. Expanding your Phoenix Mercury roster could prove savvy, especially since they have the top offensive rating in the league. They play Thursday, Friday, and Sunday this week and have an extra matchup with a leaky Chicago Sky defense this Sunday.

Potential candidates for streaming this week include Sophie Cunningham, Jordan Horston, Isabelle Harrison, and Myisha Hines-Allen.

Sophie Cunningham, G, Phoenix Mercury

Cunningham is a shooting specialist who should see many attempts from beyond the arc alongside Diana Taurasi.

Jordan Horston, G, Seattle Storm

Horston has been thriving since moving into a starting lineup role in late June. She has a high steal and block rate and the Storm has favorable matchups this week.

Isabelle Harrison, F, Chicago Sky

With Marina Mabrey traded away, Harrison could see an increase in minutes and offensive usage this week. She has been posting double-doubles and could perform well against the Mercury this week.

Myisha Hines-Allen, F, Washington Mystics

Hines-Allen is a key player in a young Washington rotation, and while she is not as high-scoring as in the past, she still has strong performances. She should see plenty of playing time, even against a solid Lynx defense.

These are just a few streaming options to help you succeed in the coming week of WNBA action.
