Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics
July 10, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Las Vegas Aces and the Washington Mystics. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.
FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules
Here are the FanDuel single game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 1.5x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value. Additionally, the MVP is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining five players in your lineup will be flex plays. The five flex positions will receive the standard FanDuel points value. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) FanDuel single game contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel 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 FanDuel picks for tomorrow night’s Aces vs. Mystics matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
MVP-Jackie Young, Guard, Las Vegas Aces $12,000
Talented guard Jackie Young has been the leader in the backcourt that the Las Vegas Aces have needed to win games this season. Let’s review Young’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on Young’s overall contributions to her team.
In the 19 games that guard Jackie Young has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Young is averaging 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 19 games that Jackie Young has played this season, Young is averaging 29.83 FanDuel points a game.
These two teams met earlier this season. Who prevailed? How did Jackie Young perform in the game? In the Washington Mystics 94-83 win over the Las Vegas Aces last month, Las Vegas guard Jackie Young amassed 13 points, four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Jackie Young can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue in tomorrow’s matchup with the Washington Mystics.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the MVP position for a FanDuel 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 opinion, Jackie Young is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young at the captain position for this one game WNBA DFS single game contest.
Flex Plays
Shakira Austin, Forward, Washington Mystics $11,400
Veteran forward Shakira Austin has been a key contributor for the Washington Mystics in 2025. In the 16 games that Austin has played for the Mystics in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Austin is averaging a rather impressive 12.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks a game.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (FanDuel price noted): A’ja Wilson, Forward (Las Vegas Aces) $14,200: Dana Evans, Guard (Las Vegas Aces) $4,600.
