WNBA Fantasy Basketball Week 4 Waiver Wire Advice
Week 4 of the WNBA Fantasy Basketball season tips off Monday, offering fantasy GMs a chance to bolster rosters by replacing injured players or enhancing lineups with breakout talent.
Fantasy Phil highlights the top waiver wire adds and streaming options for Week 4, starting June 16, including rising WNBA Fantasy Basketball stars like Hailey Van Lith, Erica Wheeler, Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Lexie Hull, and Kennedy Burke to give your team the edge.
Hailey Van Lith, G, Chicago Sky
Games this Week: Washington (Tuesday), Phoenix (Saturday), at Atlanta (Sunday).
Chicago Sky guard Hailey Van Lith finally had her breakout game, and if you picked her up last week, she would have provided you with 25 WNBA fantasy points worth of points, steals, rebounds, and assists in 24 minutes of action against the Connecticut Sun.
Fantasy Phil’s Outlook: Van Lith turned Sunday’s game on its head and hopefully earned more consistent minutes. Until then, she’s a deep-league add and stash that could turn into fantasy gold by the end of the season.
Erica Wheeler, G, Seattle Storm
Games this Week: at LA (Tuesday), at Las Vegas (Friday), New York (Sunday).
We suggested adding Seattle Storm guard Erica Wheeler last week, and had you done so, she would have stuffed every category for 51 fantasy points to your Week 4 totals.
Fantasy Phil’s Outlook: Wheeler is a valuable contributor to the Storm rotation, and you’ll get three games of between 23 to 31 stat-sheet-stuffing minutes per night from the veteran Seattle guard.
Lexie Hull, G, Indiana Fever
Games this Week: Connecticut (Tuesday), at Golden State (Thursday), and Las Vegas (Sunday).
Caitlin Clark returned to the lineup Saturday, and her pace led to Lexie Hull having the highest fantasy total (29 pts). Hull has now played 30+ minutes in five of six and scored at least 20 fantasy points or more in seven of 10 games this season.
Fantasy Phil’s Outlook: She gets the minutes and stuffs the stat sheet for at least 20 or more fantasy points nightly in every major WNBA fantasy basketball category.
Olivia Nelson-Ododa, F, Connecticut Sun
Games this Week: at Indiana (Tuesday), Phoenix (Wednesday), Dallas (Friday), at Golden State (Sunday).
Olivia Nelson-Ododa returned to the Connecticut Sun lineup and snagged 10 rebounds against the Chicago Sky. She’s getting at least 20-25 minutes per night and has exceeded her 18.6 fantasy ppg average in five of nine starts.
Fantasy Phil’s Outlook: The Sun has four games this week, and Nelson-Ododa should get you 75-80 WNBA fantasy points for Week 4.
Kennedy Burke, F, New York Liberty
Games this Week: Atlanta (Tuesday), Phoenix (Thursday), at Seattle (Sunday).
Kennedy Burke has been a valuable member of the New York Liberty rotation, and with Leonnie Fibich playing overseas, Burkes’s 18.7 fantasy ppg on a combination of points, rebounds, and blocks is nothing to sneeze at.
Fantasy Phil’s Outlook: Burke will be a good addition this week and should be worth at least 50-60 additional WNBA fantasy basketball points for your Week 4 matchups.
