She remains a reliable streaming option against a strong Sun defense.
2. Tyasha Harris, Guard, Connecticut Sun (26.1%): Harris plays a significant role in the Sun’s rotation, averaging 19.5 fantasy points per game. She put up 27 fantasy points in the previous matchup against Chicago and is a versatile contributor across various statistical categories.
