November 1, 2025 7:00 pm EDT
The NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with an NBA regular season matchup featuring the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Golden State Warriors vs. Indiana Pacers 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 Warriors vs. Pacers matchup.

Captain-Stephen Curry, Point Guard, Golden State Warriors $10,200
Talented point guard Stephen Curry has been the driving force behind the Golden State Warriors success on the basketball court this season. With that said, how has the Curry performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s take a look at Curry’s game data from the 2025 NBA season to better shed light on his overall contributions to his team.
In the six games that point guard Stephen Curry has played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2025 NBA regular season, Curry is averaging 27.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the six games that point guard Stephen Curry has played for the Warriors this season, Curry has compiled a 49.1% field goal percentage, a 41.9% three-point percentage and a 97% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Golden State Warriors 98-79 win over the Los Angeles Clippers three days ago, Golden State point guard Stephen Curry played exceptionally well. More specifically, Curry amassed 19 points, two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in the Warriors defeat of the Clippers.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, the data illustrates that Stephen Curry has the potential to post a large number of DFS points on any given night. Having stated that, I fully expect that trend to continue in this tomorrow night’s NBA regular season matchup with the Indiana Pacers.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA 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, Stephen Curry is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.
