Impact McDonald was making another start in place of the injured Caitlin Clark (groin), and she did her best imitation with the four makes from behind the three-point line. It wasn't all great, as she had six turnovers, but she more than made up for it with the healthy amount of assists. She is averaging 17.3 points, 4.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game across the past three outings, while posting a total of seven three-pointers in the span.

Modest output in start McDonald generated 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five assists, one rebound and one steal over 29 minutes of Wednesday's 98-77 loss to New York.

Plays minimal role in win McDonald amassed two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and three assists across 10 minutes during Tuesday's 85-77 win over the Sun.

Impact McDonald saw a season-low 10 minutes in the win with the Fever seemingly go in a different direction in terms of their rotation. However, she may need to step up Wednesday against the Liberty, as Caitlin Clark's status is in jeopardy after tweaking her groin Tuesday.

Solid line off bench McDonald posted five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 102-83 victory over Dallas.

Impact The Fever are rolling with Lexie Hull in the starting lineup these days, but McDonald may possibly benefit from the move with a higher usage rate off the bench. McDonald's fantasy value was bound to take a hit with Caitlin Clark back in the mix, but she still offers enough upside to warrant a hold in deeper formats.

Efficient in return to bench role McDonald recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 99-82 victory over the Dream.

Bench role Friday McDonald will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Dream, Chloe Peterson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

In four games off the bench during the 2025 campaign, she has averaged 11.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game, shooting 41.4 percent from the floor and 35 percent from three-point range.

Remains with starters in loss McDonald chipped in seven points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 80-61 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Although Caitlin Clark returned from her injury Wednesday, McDonald maintained her role in the starting lineup with Lexie Hull moving to the bench. The Fever struggled, however, and it could prompt the coaching staff to tweak the rotation again. This is a situation for fantasy managers to monitor closely.

JULY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

However, the 26-year-old struggled with efficiency and scored in single digits for the second straight outing. Over her last four appearances, McDonald has averaged 9.8 points, 5.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 28.8 minutes per game.
