Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks: Mystics vs. Wings 6/28/25
Washington Mystics vs. Dallas Wings
June 28, 2025 8:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Washington Mystics and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Washington Mystics vs. Dallas Wings 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 tonight’s Washington Mystics vs. Dallas Wings matchup.

Captain-Paige Bueckers, Guard, Dallas Wings $9,800
Talented guard Paige Bueckers has certainly been a standout performer for the Dallas Wings this season. Let’s review Bueckers relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the rookie guard’s overall contributions to her team.
In the 13 games that guard Paige Bueckers has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Bueckers is averaging a robust 18.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks a game.

These two teams met earlier this season. Who prevailed? How did Bueckers perform in the game? In the Washington Mystics 91-88 win over the Dallas Wings five days ago, Wings guard Paige Bueckers played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Bueckers amassed 20 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in the Washington Mystics defeat of the Dallas Wings.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Paige Bueckers can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with the Washington Mystics.
In my opinion, Paige Bueckers is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
