The Dallas Wings and Minnesota Lynx meet Wednesday in WNBA action at the Target Center. Here’s a Lynx vs Wings Prediction. This article will include a Lynx vs Wings Pick.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings look for their first win after losing to the Lynx and Storm. The Wings look to avoid their first 0-3 start since the 2019 season.

The Dallas Wings are averaging 77.5 points on 41 percent shooting and allowing 89 points on 47.1 percent shooting. Paige Bueckers is averaging 14.5 points and 5 assists, while Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 12 points and 2 rebounds. Maddy Siegrist is the third double-digit scorer and DiJonai Carrington is grabbing 4 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 27.3 percent from beyond the arc and 74.4 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 45.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 38.5 rebounds per game.

Minnesota Lynx Betting Preview

The Minnesota Lynx look to remain undefeated on the season after beating the Wings and Sparks. The Minnesota Lynx look to start 3-0 for the first time since the 2019 season.

The Minnesota Lynx are averaging 99 points on 50.4 percent shooting and allowing 84 points on 42.9 percent shooting. Napheesa Collier is averaging 28.5 points and 5 rebounds, while Courtney Williams is averaging 19 points and 4.5 rebounds. Alanna Smith is the third double-digit scorer and Jessica Shepard is dishing 3 assists. The Minnesota Lynx are shooting 37.8 percent from beyond the arc and 80.5 percent from the free throw line. The Minnesota Lynx are allowing 35 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31 rebounds per game.

Lynx vs Wings Injury Report

Alanna Smith is questionable with a quadriceps injury. Kayla McBride will miss her third game due to personal reasons.

The Wings don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Lynx vs Wings Prediction

The Lynx are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as a double-digit favorite, so I did consider the points. The Lynx will also still be without McBride, which is a big blow despite their first two games. However, the Wings have lost two ugly games at home where they haven’t played a lick of defense. I doubt things improve on the road against better competition. The Lynx have been arguably the best offensive team out of the gate and this is their first home game, so expect a packed house for last year’s runner ups. Thick line, but if the first two games for these teams is an indication of things to come, this should be a blowout.

The Seattle Storm and Dallas Wings meet Monday in WNBA action at the College Park Center. Here’s a Wings vs Storm Prediction. This article will include a Wings vs Storm Pick.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Seattle Storm look for their first win after losing their opener to the Mercury. The Seattle Storm hope to avoid their third straight 0-2 start to the season.

The Seattle Storm are averaging 59 points on 33.3 percent shooting and allowing 81 points on 51.7 percent shooting. Skylar Diggins is averaging 21 points and 3 rebounds, while Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds. Erica Wheeler is dishing 2 assists and Li Yueru is grabbing 4 rebounds. The Seattle Storm are shooting 17.6 percent from beyond the arc and 70 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 33.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 29 rebounds per game.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings also look for a win after losing their opener to the Lynx. The Wings look to avoid their first 0-2 start since the 2019 season.

The Dallas Wings are averaging 84 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 99 points on 53 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 16 points and 4 assists, while DiJonai Carrington is averaging 15 points and 3 rebounds. Myisha Hines-Allen is the third double-digit scorer and Maddy Siegrist is grabbing 2 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 35.7 percent from beyond the arc and 79.2 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 36.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35 rebounds per game.

Wings vs Storm Injury Report

Luisa Geiselsoder is probable for the Wings after not playing in the season opener.

The Storm will continue to be without Katie Lou Samuelson.

Wings vs Storm Prediction

The Storm should be favored as they’re the more experienced team with greater expectations. The problem is the Storm were awful in their season opener, losing to the Mercury 81-59 as a six-point favorite. It’s one game, but I’m not convinced another road game is going to help turn things around. The Wings showed flashes against the Lynx, and a somewhat competitive game against a top-three team in this league is a positive.

I’d also expect a better effort from Paige Bueckers now that she has a game under her belt. If the Storm played the way they did in their first effort, this is a game the Wings could win. We’re still feeling these teams out. I’ll grab the bucket with the Wings.

The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Dallas Wings game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tomorrow night’s Seattle Storm vs. Dallas Wings matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Skylar Diggins, Guard, Seattle Storm $8,600

Veteran guard Skylar Diggins was a standout performer for the Seattle Storm last season. With that said how did Diggins perform from a statistical standpoint? Let’s review Diggins relevant player data from the 2024 WNBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 40 games that Skylar Diggins played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Diggins averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 40 games that Skylar Diggins played for the Storm in 2024, Diggins averaged a robust 32.7 Draftkings points a contest.

More recently, in the Storm’s opening game of the 2025 WNBA regular season two days ago, Seattle guard Skylar Diggins 21 points, three rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block in the Las Vegas Aces 83-76 defeat of the Seattle Storm.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings WNBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.

In my view, Skylar Diggins is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.

Flex Plays

Nneka Ogwumike, Forward, Seattle Storm $9,400

In addition to guard Skylar Diggins, forward Nneka Ogwumike was a key contributor for the Seattle Storm last season. Let’s examine Ogwumike’s game data from 2024 to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 37 games that forward Nneka Ogwumike played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Ogwumike averaged 16.6 points, 7.7 assists, 2.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.5 blocks a contest.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 37 games that Ogwumike played for the Storm in 2024, Ogwumike averaged a rather impressive 34.8 Draftkings points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Arika Ogunbowale, Guard (Dallas Wings) $9,600: Paige Bueckers, Guard (Dallas Wings) $9,000.

The Minnesota Lynx and Dallas Wings meet Friday in WNBA action at the College Park Center. Here’s a Wings vs Lynx Prediction. This article will include a Wings vs Lynx Pick.

Minnesota Lynx Betting Preview

The Lynx won 30 games last season and lost in the WNBA Finals. Cheryl Reeve enters her 16th season and has a 64.7 percent winning percentage for her career. You can argue the Lynx are the team to beat as they return all five starters from a finals team and are led by an MVP candidate in Napheesa Collier. Kayla McBride is coming off her best season yet, and Courtney Williams showed she can take over when needed.

There’s no question with the starting five, but it’s the depth that will determine if the Lynx can get back to the mountain top. Players like Diamond Miller or Alissa Pili will be key and should see an expanded role. The Lynx are experienced, talented, and now have a chip on their shoulder with how the finals played out. The Lynx have scary potential.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Wings won nine games last season and begin the Chris Koclanes era. Koclanes is a head coach for the first time at the college or professional ranks. The obvious focus on the Wings is rookie Paige Bueckers, who was a star at UCONN and has superstar potential in the likes of Caitlin Clark. You pair her with four-time all-star Arike Ogunbowale, and the Wings have probably the most talented backcourt in the WNBA when both are cooking.

DiJonai Carrington comes over from the Sun and NaLyssa Smith comes from the Fever, two players who are coming off productive seasons. There’s legit potential for the Wings to go from nine wins to a playoff series winner. The problem is the Wings have an inexperienced coaching staff, and Bueckers is sure to go through growing pains. Still, the Wings will be a team to watch.

Wings vs Lynx Injury Report

The Wings will be without Luisa Geiselsoder, while Tyasha Harris is probable despite a knee injury.

The Lynx will be without Kayla McBride, while Alanna Smith is doubtful.

Wings vs Lynx Prediction

This will be a fun game as the College Park Center will be rocking with Bueckers making her debut and the potential this team comes with. The Lynx will be without McBride, which does hurt and makes the Lynx somewhat vulnerable. However, there’s a gap in talent and experience in coaching staffs.

The Lynx felt they were robbed in the finals, and they should come out angry with a statement to prove while getting off to a strong start. If the Lynx are serious about getting back to where they were, they must start the season off strong and win games they’re supposed to win. Even without McBride, the Lynx have enough to get the job done with the small number. Give me the Lynx.

The Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces meet Thursday in WNBA action at the Michelob ULTRA Arena. Here’s a Las Vegas Aces vs Dallas Wings Prediction. This article will include a Las Vegas Aces vs Dallas Wings Pick.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings need a win to snap a 8-game losing streak. The Wings haven’t won a road game since May 26. The Dallas Wings are averaging 83.6 points on 44.3 percent shooting and allowing 91.5 points on 47.5 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 22.1 points and 5.1 assists, while Natasha Howard is averaging 17.4 points and 6.6 rebounds. Satou Sabally is the third double-digit scorer and Maddy Siegrist is grabbing 3.4 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 31.8 percent from beyond the arc and 78.2 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 35.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.8 rebounds per game.

Las Vegas Aces Betting Preview

The Las Vegas Aces look for a win after winning 9 of their last 11 games. The Aces have won 3 straight home games. The Las Vegas Aces are averaging 86.1 points on 45.1 percent shooting and allowing 81.1 points on 43.2 percent shooting. A’ja Wilson is averaging 27 points and 12 rebounds, while Kelsey Plum is averaging 17.7 points and 2.5 rebounds. Jackie Young is the third double-digit scorer and Tiffany Hayes is grabbing 2.9 rebounds. The Las Vegas Aces are shooting 35.2 percent from beyond the arc and 82.8 percent from the free throw line. The Las Vegas Aces are allowing 34.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.1 rebounds per game.

Las Vegas Aces vs Dallas Wings Injury Report

The Las Vegas Aces are expected to be without Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, A’ja Wilson and Kierstan Bell. The Dallas Wings will be without Stephanie Soares and Teaira McCowan.

Las Vegas Aces vs Dallas Wings Prediction

It feels weird backing the Dallas Wings in the favorite role, especially with them having nothing to play for given they’ve been eliminated from the playoff race. The Wings play uninspired basketball and no effort defensively. However, despite still being eligible for the third seed, the Las Vegas Aces have already announced they could sit all of their key players. If all of the players listed above aren’t playing, the Wings should win this game. Of course, check the injury report before locking anything in.

The Dallas Wings are averaging 83.6 points on 44.3 percent shooting and allowing 91.5 points on 47.5 percent shooting.

Indiana Fever Betting Preview

The Indiana Fever look for a win after winning 12 of their last 19 games. The Fever have won 6 of their last 9 home games. The Indiana Fever are averaging 84.2 points on 45.3 percent shooting and allowing 87 points on 43.7 percent shooting.

The Indiana Fever are allowing 35.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.4 rebounds per game.

Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings Injury Report

The Dallas Wings will be without Stephanie Soares. The Indiana Fever don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings Prediction

The Dallas Wings have anything to play for, and they look like it as they don’t play a lick of defense, they’ve lost 7 straight games, and they’ve failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. The Indiana Fever plays their best ball at home, need a win to hold onto the sixth seed, and they scored 100 points against the Wings earlier this month. It’s a decent sized number, but the Fever have the offense to get whatever they want against a Wings side that plays with little effort most nights. I’ll lay the points with the Fever.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Seattle Storm look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Seattle Storm have lost 4 of their last 7 road games. The Seattle Storm are averaging 83.2 points on 43.3 percent shooting and allowing 78.6 points on 42.5 percent shooting. Jewell Loyd is averaging 19.8 points and 4.5 rebounds, while Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 16.6 points and 7.7 rebounds. Skylar Diggins-Smith is the third double-digit scorer and Ezi Magbegor is grabbing 8.1 rebounds. The Seattle Storm are shooting 28.9 percent from beyond the arc and 83.7 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 33.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.8 rebounds per game.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings need a win to snap a 6-game losing streak. The Wings have lost 4 straight home games. The Dallas Wings are averaging 83.6 points on 44.4 percent shooting and allowing 91.8 points on 47.5 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 22.6 points and 5.2 assists, while Natasha Howard is averaging 17.8 points and 6.8 rebounds.

Dallas Wings vs Seattle Storm Injury Report

The Dallas Wings will be without Stephanie Soares. The Seattle Storm don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Dallas Wings vs Seattle Storm Prediction

The Seattle Storm haven’t been great on the road, and they’ve failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. Not ideal as a big road favorite. With that said, the Storm are still the better team overall and are still fighting for playoff seeding. The Dallas Wings don’t play a lick of defense, they have nothing to play for at this stage, they’ve lost 6 straight games and have failed to cover each of those 6 games. The Wings feel like a team that’s checked out and is waiting for the offseason to arrive. Give me the Storm in a comfortable road win.

The WNBA presents a matchup between the New York Liberty and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the New York Liberty vs. Dallas Wings game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s New York Liberty vs. Dallas Wings matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Breanna Stewart, Forward, New York Liberty $9,600

New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart enters this evening’s contest with the Wings playing outstanding basketball from a statistical perspective.

In the 34 games that New York forward Breanna Stewart has played for the New York Liberty in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Stewart averaged 20.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 34 games that Liberty forward Breanna Stewart has played for the New York Liberty this season, Stewart has accumulated a robust 33.7 Draftkings points a game.

These two WNBA teams met earlier in the 2024 regular season. Who prevailed? How did Stewart perform in the game? Let’s look at the relevant game data to answer that question. In the New York Liberty’s 105-91 victory over the Dallas Wings earlier this week, New York forward Breanna Stewart tallied an impressive 27 points, two rebounds, two assists, and one block.

From a general perspective, I like Stewart’s matchup in this WNBA regular season contest. Why? Liberty forward Breanna Stewartwill face a Dallas Wings defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season.

Through 34 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Dallas Wings are currently ranked an abyssmal 12th in total team defensive rating (111.1), 11th in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (12.1), tenth in total opponent second chance points allowed a contest (11.4), and 12th in total points allowed in the paint a game (40.8) Clearly, the data just presented tells us that the Dallas Wings are currently not a good defensive basketball team entering tonight’s WNBA regular season game.

Flex Plays

Arike Ogunbowale, Guard, Dallas Wings $9,200

Dallas guard Arike Ogunbowale has been the leader in the backcourt that the Dallas Wings have needed to win games this season. Having stated that, how has Ogunbowale been playing from an offensive standpoint in 2024?

In the 35 games that Arike Ogunbowale has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Ogunbowale averaged 38.7 minutes played, 22.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.2 steals a game.

For the reasons just noted, I am backing Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale at the flex position for this one game WNBA Draftkings Showdown slate.

Additional flex plays I like (Draftkings price noted): Natasha Howard, Forward (Dallas Wings) $8,200: Jacy Sheldon, Guard (Dallas Wings) $6,200: Alysha Clark, Forward (Las Vegas Aces) $5,200.

The New York Liberty are averaging 85.9 points on 44.9 percent shooting and allowing 76.5 points on 42.4 percent shooting. Breanna Stewart is averaging 20.5 points and 3.8 assists, while Sabrina Ionescu is averaging 19.1 points and 4.6 rebounds.

The New York Liberty are shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc and 82.3 percent from the free throw line. The New York Liberty are allowing 32.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 36.5 rebounds per game.

Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty Injury Report

The Dallas Wings will be without Stephanie Soares due to a knee injury. The New York Liberty don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty Prediction

The New York Liberty just beat the Wings a couple of days ago on the road by 14 points. The Wings still don’t play a lick of defense, and they don’t have anything to play for, being eliminated from playoff contention. However, I’m going back to the over, the same pick I gave out when the Liberty and Wings played on Tuesday. The Wings don’t defend, and they’ve seen 6 of their last 8 games go over the total. The game on Tuesday produced 196 points. Oddsmakers can’t make this total high enough. Give me the over.

Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty Prediction

The New York Liberty are more than capable of blowing the doors off the Wings, and they probably will. This is still a thick number for a road team. Instead, I’m looking at the over. The Wings don’t play a lick of defense, and the Liberty are the second best scoring team in the league. The Wings have seen 5 of their last 7 games go over. The Liberty could easily top 100 points with the way the Wings are playing. Expect a high scoring game. Give me the over.

Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 22.6 points and 5.3 assists, while Satou Sabally is averaging 19.3 points and 6.3 rebounds.

Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings Injury Report

Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings Prediction

The Chicago Sky are getting no love from oddsmakers as the losses keep piling up, and now they’re going to be without Angel Reese for the rest of the season. With that said, the Sky are still in that last playoff spot, so there’s motivation to still play hard. Also, the Dallas Wings don’t play a lick of defense, continue to lose games, and they just blew a massive lead to the Dream. The Wings also haven’t won on the road since the titanic sank. How are the Wings laying this many points on the road?! Give me the Sky and the free buckets.

The Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream meet Friday in WNBA action at the Gateway Center. Here’s a Atlanta Dream vs Dallas Wings Prediction. This article will include a Atlanta Dream vs Dallas Wings Pick.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings look for a win after lost 5 of their last 8 games. The Wings haven’t won a road game since May 26. The Dallas Wings are averaging 83.8 points on 44.6 percent shooting and allowing 90.7 points on 47.1 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 22.6 points and 5.3 assists, while Satou Sabally is averaging 19.5 points and 6.5 rebounds.

The Dallas Wings are allowing 35.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35 rebounds per game.

Atlanta Dream Betting Preview

The Atlanta Dream need a win after losing 5 of their last 6 games. The Dream have lost 6 of their last 9 home games.

Atlanta Dream vs Dallas Wings Injury Report

The Atlanta Dream will be without Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and Aerial Powers. Stephanie Soares is questionable for the Wings due to a knee injury.

Atlanta Dream vs Dallas Wings Prediction

The Atlanta Dream I guess are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but who cares. The Dream are the worst offensive team in the league, they’ve lost 5 of their last 6 games, and they’re 6-10 SU at home. The Dallas Wings have issues of their own, but they’re the healthier team and beat the Dream back in July when they weren’t. Also, the Wings don’t play much defense, but they can score, something the Dream can’t. I’ll grab the free bucket with the Wings as a fade of the Dream more than anything.

Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics Injury Report

Stephanie Soares is questionable for the Wings due to a knee injury. The Washington Mystics will be without Shakira Austin due to an ankle injury.

Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics Prediction

The Dallas Wings don’t play enough defense to trust them in the favorite role, as every game they play is a back and forth shootout. Also, the Mystics aren’t winning games, but they’ve covered 4 of their last 5 games and are 20-11-1 ATS on the season. The Mystics are also 2-0 SU against the Wings this season, for whatever that’s worth. It’s the Mystics and the points or pass for me, as the Wings aren’t good or consistent enough to lay points with.

Dallas Wings vs Indiana Fever Injury Report

The Indiana Fever don’t have any players listed on their injury report. Stephanie Soares is probable for the Wings despite a knee issue.

Dallas Wings vs Indiana Fever Prediction

I have no idea what to expect from the Wings, so this isn’t a game I’d touch personally. One minute the Wings don’t play a lick of defense and the losses are out of control. Now, the Wings have won 3 straight games and are two games out of a playoff spot. So I’ll just go with the team that’s been more consistent and is on a heater themselves, with wins in 7 of their last 9 games. Give me the Fever and the somewhat reasonable number.

The Minnesota Lynx don’t have any players listed on their injury report. Stephanie Soares is questionable for the Wings due to a knee injury.

Dallas Wings vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

The Dallas Wings have won their last two games and did upset the Lynx back in June as 9 point underdogs. I still don’t want anything to do with the Wings, a team that doesn’t play defense and is 10-20 ATS on the year. The Lynx have had issues on the road this season, but they’ve covered each of their last 6 games and are now 20-10-1 ATS on the year. The Lynx also need to keep winning to keep distance for the second seed. I expect the Lynx to come out with a sense of urgency. Give me the Lynx in a double-digit road win.

The WNBA presents a matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Las Vegas Aces vs. Dallas Wings game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Las Vegas Aces vs. Dallas Wings matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-A’ja Wilson, Forward, Las Vegas Aces $12,400

Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson enters this evening’s contest with the Wings playing outstanding basketball from a statistical perspective.

In the 29 games that Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Wilson averaged 26.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.1 steals, and 2.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 29 games that Aces forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces this season, Wilson has accumulated a whopping 54.7 Draftkings points a game.

These two WNBA teams met earlier in the 2024 regular season. Who prevailed? How did Wilson perform in the game? Let’s look at the relevant game data to answer that question. In the Las Vegas Aces 104-85 victory over the Dallas Wings last month, Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson tallied an impressive 28 points, ten rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks.

From a general matchup perspective, I like Wilson’s matchup in this WNBA regular season contest. Why? Aces forward A’ja Wilson will face a Dallas Wings defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season.

Through 29 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Dallas Wings are currently ranked an abyssmal 12th in total team defensive rating (110.2), 12th in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (11.8), tenth in total opponent second chance points allowed a contest (11.3), and 12th in total points allowed in the paint a game (42.2) Clearly, the data just presented tells us that the Dallas Wings are currently not a good defensive basketball team.

Flex Plays

Arike Ogunbowale, Guard, Dallas Wings $9,800

Dallas guard Arike Ogunbowale has been the leader in the backcourt that the Dallas Wings have needed to win games this season. Having stated that, how has Ogunbowale been playing from an offensive standpoint in 2024?

In the 28 games that Arike Ogunbowale has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Ogunbowale averaged 38.5 minutes played, 22.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.5 steals a game.

For the reasons just noted, I am backing Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale at the flex position for this one game WNBA Draftkings Showdown slate.

Additional flex plays I like (Draftkings price noted): Natasha Howard, Forward (Dallas Wings) $9,400: Jacy Sheldon, Guard (Dallas Wings) $6,200: Alysha Clark, Forward (Las Vegas Aces) $5,200.

Las Vegas Aces Betting Preview

The Las Vegas Aces look for a win after losing 4 of their last 6 games. The Aces have won 7 of their last 9 road games. The Las Vegas Aces are averaging 86.9 points on 45 percent shooting and allowing 82.9 points on 43.3 percent shooting. A’ja Wilson is averaging 26.6 points and 11.9 rebounds, while Kelsey Plum is averaging 18 points and 2.3 rebounds. Jackie Young is the third double-digit scorer and Tiffany Hayes is grabbing 2.5 rebounds. The Las Vegas Aces are shooting 34.9 percent from beyond the arc and 83.7 percent from the free throw line. The Las Vegas Aces are allowing 36.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.7 rebounds per game.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings need a win after losing 18 of their last 22 games. The Wings have split their last 8 home games. The Dallas Wings are averaging 82.7 points on 44.5 percent shooting and allowing 90.9 points on 47.3 percent shooting.

The Dallas Wings are allowing 35.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.4 rebounds per game.

Dallas Wings vs Las Vegas Aces Injury Report

Neither the Dallas Wings or Las Vegas Aces have a player on their injury report.

Dallas Wings vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction

The Las Vegas Aces are in a funk at the moment and there are some questions about laying decent sized chalk on the road. With that said, who cares. The Dallas Wings haven’t played a lick of defense all year, and even getting healthy hasn’t helped. The Wings got torched by the Sun, the Liberty twice, and should’ve lost on Sunday to the Sparks. This stacked Aces side should have a field day against the Wings, and they have in the past, as they’ve won 10 straight against them and covered 7 of those games. Give me the Aces in a blowout road win.

Flex Plays

Dearica Hamby, Forward, Los Angeles Sparks $9,000

Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby arrives at today’s game with the Dallas Wings playing exceptional basketball from a statistical perspective. Let’s take a look at Hamby’s recent game data to shed light on my previous statement.

In the Los Angeles Sparks 28 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Sparks forward Dearica Hamby has averaged a whopping 17.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.5 steals a game.

It is noteworthy that these two teams met earlier in the season. Who prevailed? How did Hamby perform in the game? Let’s look at the relevant game data to answer that question. In the Los Angeles Sparks 87-81 victory over the Dallas Wings last month, Los Angeles forward Dearica Hamby tallied 27 points, four rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block.

From a general matchup perspective, I definitely like Hamby’s matchup in this WNBA contest. Why? Sparks forward Dearica Hamby will face a Dallas Wings defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season.

Through 28 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Dallas Wings are currently ranked a dreadful 12th in total team defensive rating (110.2), 12th in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (11.8), tenth in total opponent second chance points allowed a contest (11.3), and 12th in total points allowed in the paint a game (42.2) Clearly, the data just presented tells us that the Dallas Wings are currently not a good defensive basketball team.

Additional flex plays I like (Draftkings price noted): Rickea Jackson, Guard (Los Angeles Sparks) $7,200: Jacy Sheldon, Guard (Dallas Wings) $5,400.

Dallas Wings vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

I don’t want to lay chalk with the Dallas Wings as much as the next guy, but we have no choice I guess. As bad as the Wings are defensively and with the losses piling up, they’re at least healthy and at home. The Sparks have been getting rocked all year, and they’re still the most banged up team in the league. The line is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Wings to get a much-needed win at home against a Sparks team that’s going nowhere fast, however, this is a fade of the Sparks more than anything.

The WNBA presents a matchup between the Dallas Wings and New York Liberty. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Dallas Wings vs. New York Liberty game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Dallas Wings vs. New York Liberty matchup.
