Top WNBA Waiver Wire Picks: Julie Allemand and Natasha Mack Shine in Fantasy Basketball

Discover the top WNBA waiver wire picks for fantasy basketball, featuring Julie Allemand and Natasha Mack, and learn how they can boost your roster.

Backcourt

Julie Allemand, G, Los Angeles Sparks (Rostered in 6.2% of ESPN leagues)

Julie Allemand has been a revelation since joining the Los Angeles Sparks on July 3. Despite being overlooked earlier in the season due to her commitments with the Belgian team for EuroBasket, Allemand has quickly become a key player for the Sparks. Leading the team in minutes and assists, she has provided a full floor game that has translated into strong fantasy results. The Sparks' offensive efficiency rating in July is the highest in the league, indicating that Allemand will continue to play a significant role in their up-tempo scheme. With a favorable matchup against the Aces this week, Allemand is a must-add for fantasy managers.

Bria Hartley, G, Connecticut Sun (12.2%)

Bria Hartley has been thriving as a multi-level scorer for the Connecticut Sun. The veteran guard has been given the green light to create offense for herself and her teammates, resulting in impressive fantasy performances when her shot is on target. The Sun have two matchups against the New York Liberty to close out the week. Given the Liberty's 8th-ranked defensive rating over the past 10 games, Hartley has the potential to fill up the box score and provide valuable fantasy points.

Frontcourt

Dominique Malonga, C, Seattle Storm (23.2%)

Even as a teenager, Dominique Malonga has established herself as one of the better pure rebounders in the WNBA. With the ability to post double-double outcomes when given the opportunity, Malonga also excels at protecting the rim, adding another dimension to her fantasy profile. While her playing time may be limited, Malonga's potential to produce big lines is only growing, making her a valuable addition to fantasy rosters.

Natasha Mack, F, Phoenix Mercury (19.4%)

Natasha Mack has been earning more minutes for the Phoenix Mercury due to her relentless defense and hustle on the glass. Since seeing increased playing time on July 7, Mack has averaged nearly 14 combined points and rebounds, along with an impressive three combined steals and blocks over her past six games. Mack's ability to maximize her limited role makes her a valuable glue player for fantasy teams. With two favorable matchups to close out the week, Mack could prove to be a productive addition to your roster.

Emma Meesseman, C, New York Liberty (5.0%)

The New York Liberty have added a significant boost to their title bid with the signing of Emma Meesseman. The former WNBA Finals MVP and two-time all-star was a two-way force for the Chicago Sky in 2022. While her role with the Liberty may not be as high-usage, Meesseman is expected to see meaningful minutes in the weeks ahead. Although her availability is still unclear, some estimates suggest she could be ready by the end of this week against the Sun.
