There are two games on the schedule for Thursday.

The nightcap pits the Liberty at the Storm at 10:00 PM ET. Please find the preview information for these games here.
Guard
Sugar Rodgers, NY at SEA ($5700): Rodgers scored a solid 25.9 fantasy points in her last outing, but she has been particularly effective against the Storm this season. Two of her three best fantasy scoring outings of the season have come against Seattle, including her season-best 43.9 fantasy points in their last meeting on June 11.
Alana Beard, LA at MIN ($5000): Beard has been quietly consistent of late, scoring between 22 and 27 fantasy points in three straight games. The Lynx are the highest scoring team in the league, so for the Sparks to stay with them their players will likely need to score a bit more than usual.
Lindsay Whalen, MIN vs LA ($4300): Whalen is the lowest priced guard that has been consistently productive of late. She has scored between 20 and 28 fantasy points in three straight games, which is almost as solid of a three game stretch as any of the higher-priced guards available on Thursday.
