What you need to know for Sunday's games

Sunday is action-packed in the WNBA with four games on the menu. The still-undefeated Sun travel to Atlanta to face the upstart Dream squad that just took down the Aces in their last matchup. The Sparks bring their young squad to Phoenix to face the Mercury for the first time since the last preseason game.

The Lynx are the second-biggest favorites of the day at home against Arike Ogunbowale and the Wings, while the Liberty get another crack at Caitlin Clark and the Fever.

Let's take a closer look at these games and find some angles of interest from both a fantasy hoops and a betting perspective.

Sunday's Fantasy Stream Team

Maddy Siegrist, Dallas WIngs (available in 62.9% of ESPN leagues) has started her sophomore campaign strong, particularly since moving into the starting lineup. In her last three games, all starts, Siegrist has averaged 18.0 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.3 SPG and 0.7 3PG in 35.0 MPG.

Aari McDonald, LA Sparks (available in 93.6% of leagues) had a very slow start with her new team, averaging only 7.3 MPG off the bench in her first four contests. Though still coming off the bench, McDonald has averaged 25.7 MPG in her past three games and generated 11.3 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.7 3PG, 1.0 SPG and 0.3 BPG in those contests. She also has more opportunity right now with Layshia Clarendon (concussion) sidelined.

Sevgi Uzun, Dallas Wings (available in 93.0% of leagues) is a first year player in the WNBA, but at 26-years old with multiple professional seasons overseas she has more experience than the average rookie point guard. This has helped her beat out rookie Jacy Sheldon for minutes, and Uzun has taken advantage of her starting role to produce solid all-around numbers. In her past five games, Uzun has averaged 6.2 PPG, 5.8 APG, 3.0 RPG, 1.4 SPG, 0.8 3PG and 0.6 BPG in 32.4 MPG.

Natasha Mack, Phoenix Mercury (available in 73.4% of leagues) has been strong in the defensive categories as she continues to start in place of Brittney Griner, averaging 7.4 RPG, 2.1 BPG and 1.0 SPG in 22.0 MPG. Mack has at least one blocked shot in every game and has grabbed nine or more rebounds three times, including a 10-board effort in her most recent game against the Lynx.

Dre's Bets for Sunday

Alyssa Thomas to record a double-double, NO (+130): Thomas has recorded double-doubles in four of her seven games this season, but a closer look at the schedule indicates that all four of those double-doubles came against teams ranking in the bottom-five in the WNBA in points allowed to opposing teams (Fever twice, last in points allowed; Mystics third-to-last, Wings fourth-to-last). The Sun have played two teams in the top-five in points per game allowed, and Thomas has no double-doubles in either game. The Dream rank fifth in fewest points allowed to opposing teams, indicating they may limit Thomas' opportunities to generate team points. This bet also yields plus money.

Breanna Stewart over 20.5 points (-125): Stewart has had a relatively down start to the season as a scorer, at least by her standards, scoring 20 or fewer points in six of her eight games so far. The two exceptions? Both came against the Fever, who she dropped 31 and 24 points against in back-to-back games earlier this season. The Fever allow the most points to opposing teams in the WNBA, and Stewart should have another good opportunity to generate more than 20.5 points against them the third time around.

Wings +7.5 over Lynx (-115): The Lynx are off to one of the best starts in the WNBA with five wins in their first seven games while the Wings are a .500 team at 3-3, but the WIngs rarely get blown out.They haven't lost by double figures in any game this season, and two of their three losses have been by two and five points. Those two losses were both on the road against teams with strong records, including their most recent game against the undefeated Sun squad with the best scoring margin in the WNBA which they kept to a two-point game. According to BPI, the Lynx should be favored but only by a 5.1-point margin that is within the spread.
