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