Aug. 14: Weekend preview and streaming picks
Eric Moody: The WNBA season in its final stretch, the playoff picture is starting to take shape. The Minnesota Lynx became the first team to clinch a spot after Kayla McBride set a league record with 10 three-pointers against the Dallas Wings earlier this week, and the Las Vegas Aces have since joined the Lynx in the postseason. The Seattle Storm have already been eliminated, while the Washington Mystics hold a six-game lead over the Portland Fire for the final playoff spot. The fantasy playoffs are underway, making the right streaming decisions even more important.
Fantasy stream team
Let’s look at some streaming options rostered in fewer than 50% of ESPN leagues, with two games scheduled Friday, three more on Saturday and three on Sunday. We’re in the midst of the fantasy playoffs, so I want to give you the best options possible as you try to lock down a fantasy championship.
Megan DiLeo, F/C, Portland Fire (48.7% rostered)
DiLeo is in the midst of her most productive season yet. She’s averaged 24.1 fantasy points and 25.8 minutes per game over her last seven games. The Fire play twice over the next three days, making DiLeo a great option for managers in need of help at F/C.
Naz Hillmon, F/C, Atlanta Dream (27.8%)
Hillmon has scored at least 20 fantasy points in three of her last four games and has a steady role in Atlanta’s rotation, averaging 28.8 MPG this season. Hillmon also benefits from playing in a productive Dream offense that ranks sixth in offensive rating.
Courtney Vandersloot, G, Chicago Sky (25.0%)

Vandersloot has averaged 20.2 FPPG and 20.5 MPG this season. She doesn’t provide a huge ceiling at this stage of her career but does provide you with a high floor. Vandersloot should find success on Sunday against a Seattle Storm team that ranks 11th in defensive rating.
Jade Melbourne, G, Seattle Storm (20.1%)
Melbourne has scored at least 23 fantasy points in three of her last five games while averaging 25.8 minutes per game over that span. She continues to have a substantial role in Seattle’s offense, with enough scoring and playmaking opportunities to remain a reliable streaming option. The Storm also play twice over the next three days, adding to Melbourne’s appeal.
Teja Oblak, G, Portland Fire (3.9%)
Oblak is on the streaming radar in deeper leagues. The rookie is trending up and scored 34 fantasy points in 22 minutes against the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday. She also draws favorable matchups against the Storm and Phoenix Mercury this weekend, with both teams ranking near the bottom of the league in defensive rating.
