Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks: Sky vs. Sparks 6/29/25
Chicago Sky vs. Los Angeles Sparks
June 29, 2025 4:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Chicago Sky and the Los Angeles Sparks. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Chicago Sky vs. Los Angeles Sparks 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 tomorrow afternoon’s Sky vs. Sparks matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Dearica Hamby, Forward, Los Angeles Sparks $9,400
Veteran forward Dearica Hamby has been the driving force behind the Los Angeles Sparks success this season. Let’s examine Hamby’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the forward’s overall contributions to her team.
In the 16 games that forward Dearica Hamby has played for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Hamby is averaging a robust 16.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 16 games that Dearica Hamby has played for the Sparks in 2025, Hamby has averaged 35.5 Draftkings points a game.
More recently, in the Los Angeles Sparks 85-75 victory over the Indiana Fever two days ago, Dearica Hamby played exceptionally well. More specifically, Hamby amassed 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in the Sparks defeat of the Fever.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Dearica Hamby can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in tomorrow afternoon’s matchup with the Chicago Sky.
In summary, I think Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Dearica Hamby at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
Flex Plays
Kelsey Plum, Guard, Los Angeles Sparks $9,200
