Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm
August 3, 2025 3:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Indiana Fever and the Seattle Storm. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm 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 afternoon’s Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Aliyah Boston, Forward, Indiana Fever $11,400
Veteran forward Aliyah Boston has been the leader in the paint that the Indiana Fever have needed to win games this season. Having stated that, how has Boston performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s examine Boston’s game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 28 games that forward Aliyah Boston played for the Indiana Fever in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Boston has averaged 15.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.8 steals a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 28 games that Aliyah Boston has played for the Indiana Fever in 2025, Boston has compiled a 54.4% field goal percentage, a 22.7% three-point percentage and an 80.2% free throw percentage.
Last month, in the Indiana Fever’s 80-70 victory over the Las Vegas Aces, Indiana forward Aliyah Boston certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Boston amassed 13 points, ten rebounds, three assists and two steals in the Fever’s win over the Las Vegas Aces.
It should also be noted that the Indiana Fever have declared guard Caitlin Clark as inactive for today’s contest due to injury. I think the absence of Clark should open up more offensive opportunities for Aliyah Boston in today’s WNBA game.
In my opinion, Aliyah Boston is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. With that said, I am backing Indiana Pacers forward Aliyah Boston at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
Flex Plays
Kelsey Mitchell, Guard, Indiana Fever $8,600
In addition to forward Aliyah Boston, guard Kelsey Mitchell has been a key contributor for the Indiana Fever this season.
In the 27 games that guard Kelsey Mitchell has played for the Indiana Fever this season, Mithcell has averaged 19.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 27 games than that Kelsey Mitchell has played for the Fever in 2025, Mitchell is averaging a robust 28.55 FanDuel points a contest.
In conclusion, I fully expect Kelsey Mitchell to continue her outstanding play in this afternoon’s matchup with the Seattle Storm.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Skylar Diggins, Guard (Seattle Storm) $10,200: Natasha Howard, Forward (Indiana Fever) $7,000.
