Impact With 22 minutes to her name, Gardner saw her largest workload since June 25. The Liberty are a bit shorthanded these days, but Gardner was held to single-digit minutes in her previous two outings. Despite a solid line, she remains difficult to trust in fantasy formats.

Gardner does not offer a lot of upside, however, as she holds season averages of 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 12.8 minutes per game.
