Draftkings Best WNBA DFS Picks: Sun vs. Aces 8/10/25
Connecticut Sun vs. Las Vegas Aces
August 10, 2025 9:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Connecticut Sun and the Las Vegas Aces. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Connecticut Sun 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 Sun vs. Aces matchup.
Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks
Captain-A’ja Wilson, Center, Las Vegas Aces $11,400
Veteran center A’ja Wilson has been the driving force behind the Las Vegas Aces success on the basketball court this season. Let’s review Wilson’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the talented center’s overall contributions to her team.
In the 27 games that center A’ja Wilson played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Wilson is averaging a rather impressive 21.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.2 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 27 games that A’ja Wilson has played for the Aces in 2025, Wilson has compiled a 48.8% field goal percentage, a 29.7% three-point percentage and an 83.5% free throw percentage.
These two teams met earlier this season. Who prevailed? How did Wilson perform in the game? In the Las Vegas Aces dominant 86-68 win over the Connecticut Sun last month, Las Vegas center A’ja Wilson played exceptionally well. More specifically, in the Las Vegas Aces victory over Connecticut, Wilson compiled 19 points, three rebounds, two steals and four blocks in only 24 minutes of play.
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 my view, A’ja Wilson is the most likely player to amass the most Draftkings points in this evening’s WNBA game. With that said, I am backing Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson at the MVP position for this WNBA regular season game.
Flex Plays
Jackie Young, Guard, Las Vegas Aces $10,600
In addition to forward A’ja Wilson, guard Jackie Young has been a key contributor for the Las Vegas Aces in 2025. In the 31 games that Jackie Young has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Young is averaging 16.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks a game.
In conclusion, I fully expect Jackie Young to continue her outstanding play in tonight’s WNBA game.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Marina Mabrey, Guard (Connecticut Sun) $8,200: NaLyssa Smith, Forward (Las Vegas Aces) $6,600.
