Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks: Sparks vs. Wings 6/6/25
Los Angeles Sparks vs. Dallas Wings
June 6, 2025 9:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Los Angeles Sparks and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Sparks 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 this evening’s Sparks vs. Wings matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Dearica Hamby, Forward, Los Angeles Sparks $9,800
Veteran forward Dearica Hamby has been the leader in the paint that the Los Angeles Sparks have needed to win games this season. Let’s examine Hamby’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the veteran forward’s overall contributions to her team.
In the eight games that forward Dearica Hamby has played for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Hamby is averaging a robust 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the eight games that Dearica Hamby has played for the Sparks in 2025, Hamby has averaged 38.1 Draftkings points a game.
More recently, in the Golden State Valkyries 82-73 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks last month, Dearica Hamby played rather well. Hamby amassed 25 points, six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in the Valkyries win over the Los Angeles Sparks.
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 tonight’s matchup with the Dallas Wings.
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 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. With that said, 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 $10,400
In addition to Dearica Hamby, guard Kelsey Plum has been a key contributor for the Los Angeles Sparks this season.
