May 27, 2025 8:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Minnesota Lynx. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx 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 tomorrow night’s Storm vs. Lynx matchup.

Captain-Napheesa Collier, Forward, Minnesota Lynx $11,000
Veteran forward Napheesa Collier has been a standout performer for the Minnesota Lynx this season. Let’s review Collier’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the talented forward’s overall contributions to her team.
In the four games that center Napheesa Collier played for the Minnesota Lynx in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Collier is averaging a rather impressive 29.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the four games that Napheesa Collier has played for the Lynx in 2025, Collier has compiled a 56.2% field goal percentage, a 53.8% three-point percentage and a 93.5% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Minnesota Lynx’s 76-70 win over the Connecticut Sun three days ago, Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier certainly played at a high level. Collier amassed 33 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in Minnesota’s defeat of the Sun.
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 Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. With that said, I am backing Napheesa Collier at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
