Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks: Fever vs. Sky 7/27/25
Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky
July 27, 2025 3:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Indiana Fever 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 tomorrow’s Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
MVP-Aliyah Boston, Forward, Indiana Fever $9,200
Veteran forward Aliyah Boston has been a standout performer for the Indiana Fever 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 25 games that forward Aliyah Boston played for the Indiana Fever in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Boston has averaged 15.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals a game.

More recently, in the Indiana Fever’s 80-70 win over the Las Vegas Aces two days ago, Indiana forward Aliyah Boston amassed 13 points, ten rebounds, three assists and two steals.
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, Aliyah Boston 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 Pacers forward Aliyah Boston at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
