Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces
September 7, 2025 9:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Chicago Sky and the Las Vegas Aces. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces 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 Sky vs. Aces matchup.

These two teams have met multiple times this season. How did A’ja Wilson perform in the game? Who prevailed? In the Las Vegas Aces 79-74 victory over the Chicago Sky last month, Las Vegas center A’ja Wilson amassed 18 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal. What did we learn? Clearly, Wilson can post a high number of DFS points when the Las Vegas Aces matchup with the Chicago Sky.

In my opinion, Las Vegas center A’ja Wilson is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing A’ja Wilson at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA showdown contest.
