WNBA Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Advice May 25, 2025
The second week of the WNBA Fantasy Basketball season is in the books, and there is no time like the present to find replacements for injured or under-performing players.
Check out what WNBA Fantasy Basketball nuggets Fantasy Phil has found on the waiver wire for Week 2 of the WNBA Fantasy Basketball season.
Bridget Carleton, Minnesota Lynx (Widely Available)
This Week’s games are Seattle (Tuesday), Phoenix (Friday), and Golden State (Sunday).
We recommended Bridget Carleton last week, and she has delivered, accruing 66 fantasy points over the previous seven days. She’ll likely see a dip in touches once Kayla McBride returns to the lineup, and that’s okay.
Carleton will still get you 30+ minutes and should average around 20-25 fantasy points per night worth of rebounds (5.5), assists (3), and steals (2) alongside a steady diet of 6-8 ppg and likely sitting on your waiver wire.
Veronica Burton Golden State Valkyries (Widely Available)
This Week’s games are at NY Liberty (Tuesday and Thursday) and Minnesota (Sunday).
Veronica Burton is 27+ minutes worth of stat-stuffing and 27 fantasy points per game from your backcourt, and someone I’d be looking to replace Kahleah Copper with.
She’ll be a good source for points (12), rebounds (4), assists (3.7), and steals (3), and Burton’s three games this week mean she is someone worth adding to any WNBA Fantasy Basketball roster and league size.
Myisha Hines-Allen Dallas Wings (Widely Available)
This Week’s games are at Connecticut (Tuesday), at Chicago (Thursday), and Chicago (Saturday).
We recommended Dallas Wings forward Myisha Hines-Allen last week, and she gave us 58 WNBA fantasy points across the past seven days.
Rebounds (7), assists (3), and blocks (1) with the occasional double-digit scoring night is what you can expect from 23+ minutes worth of Myisha Hines-Allen on your roster.
Maddy Siegrist Dallas Wings (Widely Available)
This Week’s games are at Connecticut (Tuesday), at Chicago (Thursday), and Chicago (Saturday).
We recommended Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist last week, and she would have given you 58 WNBA fantasy points over the past seven days.
Siegrist is the first off the Wings bench, and she’ll be a good source of points (10.5) and rebounds (4.5), with the occasional assist, block, and maybe even one steal.
Kayla Thornton Golden State Valkyries (Widely Available)
This Week’s games are at NY Liberty (Tuesday and Thursday) and Minnesota (Sunday).
Valkyries forward Kayla Thornton starts on one of the fastest-paced teams in the WNBA with 68 fantasy points across the last seven days.
Thornton had a tough shooting week, but this stat-stuffer is averaging 27 fantasy points per contest and will be a good source for points (12.7), rebounds (6.3), assists (1), and steals (2.3) this week.
