Draftkings WNBA DFS Picks: Fever vs. Valkyries 6/19/25
Indiana Fever vs. Golden State Valkyries
June 19, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Indiana Fever and the Golden State Valkyries. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Indiana Fever vs. Golden State Valkyries 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 Fever vs. Valkyries matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Caitlin Clark, Guard, Indiana Pacers $10,400
Talented guard Caitlin Clark has been the driving force behind the Indiana Pacers success on the basketball court this season. Let’s examine Clark’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the six games that Caitlin Clark has played for the Indiana Fever in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Clark is averaging 21.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the six games that Caitlin Clark has played for the Fever in 2025, Clark has averaged 46.4 Draftkings points a contest.
More recently, in the Indiana Fever’s 102-88 win over the New York Liberty four days ago, Caitlin Clark played exceptionally well. Clark amassed 32 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in the Fever’s defeat of the Liberty.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Caitlin Clark can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in tomorrow evening’s matchup with the New York Liberty.
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 summary, I think Caitlan Clark is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.

Aliyah Boston, Forward, Indiana Fever $9,200
