The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Atlanta Dream and the Chicago Sky. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Atlanta Dream vs. Chicago Sky 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 Atlanta Dream vs. Chicago Sky matchup.

In the 29 games that guard Allisha Gray played for the Atlanta Dream in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Gray is averaging a rather impressive 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks a game.

These two teams have met multiple times this season. How did Gray perform in the most recent matchup? In the Atlanta Dream’s dominant 86-49 win over the Chicago Sky last month, Atlanta guard Allisha Gray played exceptionally well. More specifically, in the Dream’s victory over the Sky, Gray compiled 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in only 26 minutes of play.
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, Allisha Gray is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
