Charlie Cummings gives his top DraftKings WNBA Pick6 plays and projections for the two-game WNBA slate on Tuesday, July 15.
WNBA action on Tuesday will kick off at 8 p.m. ET. We have a two-game slate, starting with the Fever taking on the Sun. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will examine my top WNBA Pick6 plays for today’s action. You simply choose whether each set statistic will be more or less than the set number. With the stage ready, here are my favorite picks on the WNBA Pick6 slate.
Brittney Sykes More Than 15.5 Points Scored
The Washington Mystics are in the playoff race due to their defense. Holding the sixth-best defensive rating in the WNBA, their ability to guard keeps them in a lot of games. All their offense needs to do is stay competitive for Washington to have a shot at winning. The player driving that offense has been Brittney Sykes.
Sykes’ ability to get downhill has changed things for Washington. Mostly known for her defense, this 2025 season has been a coming-out party on offense. The 31-year-old is averaging a career-high 17.6 points per game and was robbed of her first career All-Star appearance.
Facing her former Sparks team and their poor defense, I am confident Sykes can match or exceed her season average. It should be an offensive feast for the Mystics, with Slim leading the charge.
Caitlin Clark Less Than 18.5 Points Scored
Whew, talk about a struggle. It hasn’t been easy going for Clark since she got back from a groin injury. She’s admittedly playing at less than 100%, and it shows.
In her past three games, Clark has scored 10, 12, and 14 points. She’s shooting well below her career averages in all three games. And until we know she’s fully healthy, the struggle will continue. Picking a “less” on Clark doesn’t feel right, but it has to be done.
Kiki Iriafen More Than 19.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
As I mentioned earlier, Washington is going to eat on offense against the Sparks. That’s not limited to Brittney Sykes.
Kiki Iriafen’s excellence shouldn’t be a surprise. The fourth-overall pick was a double-double machine at USC. But the instant translation defies the expectations of even the most optimistic Iriafen believer. On the way to her first WNBA All-Star game in her rookie year, she’s got the makings of a foundational piece.
Her most important trait is consistency. Iriafen has double-doubled twice in her past three games, clearing 20+ P/R/A in all three. Against a Sparks team still missing Cameron Brink, I see a fourth straight 20+ performance coming for the 21-year-old.
