June 29, 2025 8:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Golden State Valkyries. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Golden State Valkyries 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 tonight’s Storm vs. Valkyries matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Skylar Diggins, Guard, Seattle Storm $9,200
Veteran guard Skylar Diggins has been the leader in the backcourt that the Seattle Storm have needed to win games in 2025. Having stated that, how has Diggins performed from a data perspective? Let’s take a look at Diggins game statistics from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 16 games that Diggins has played for the Storm in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Diggins is averaging a rather impressive 19.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 16 games that Skylar Diggins has played for the Storm in 2025, Diggins has compiled a 46.3% field goal percentage, a 42.2% three-point percentage and a 79.4% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Seattle Storm’s 97-81 win over the Connecticut Sun two days ago, Skylar Diggins certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Diggins amassed 24 points, one rebound, five assists and one steal in the Storm’s defeat of the Connecticut Sun.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Skylar Diggins can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in this evening’s matchup with the Golden State Valkyries.
In summary, I think Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Skylar Diggins at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
