Fantasy streamers: Tianna Hawkins (49.5% rostered in ESPN leagues) has stepped for the Wizards with Austin and Delle Donne out, starting nine straight games and averaging 12.1 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.8 3PG and 0.3 BPG in 30.7 MPG during that window.
Dorka Juhasz (35.2% rostered) has started for most of her rookie season and has crashed the boards particularly hard since the All-Star break. Over her last three games, Juhasz has averaged 10.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.3 SPG, 1.0 3PG and 0.7 BPG in 28.3 MPG. Jessica Shepard (non-COVID illness) is likely to return Wednesday after missing the last 13 games, but Juhasz was starting before Shepard went down and should maintain her role while Shepard is worked back into the lineup.
