Dallas Wings vs. Los Angeles Sparks
August 20, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Dallas Wings and the Los Angeles Sparks. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Dallas Wings vs. Los Angeles Sparks 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 Wings vs. Sparks matchup.
Draftkings WNBA DFS Picks
Paige Bueckers, Guard, Dallas Wings $11,600
Rookie guard Paige Bueckers has been a key contributor for the Dallas Wings in 2025. With that said, how has Bueckers played from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Bueckers game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 28 games that guard Paige Bueckers has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Bueckers is averaging 18.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 28 games that Paige Bueckers has played for the Wings in 2025, Bueckers has compiled a 45.8% field goal percentage, a 31% three-point percentage and an 88% free throw percentage.
It is noteworthy that the Dallas Wings announced earlier today that guard Arike Ogunbowale will miss tomorrow’s game due to an ongoing knee injury. In my opinion, the absence of Ogunbowale in the Dallas Wings lineup should open up more offensive opportunities for Paige Bueckers in tomorrow’s matchup with the Los Angeles Sparks.
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, Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Paige Bueckers at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA showdown contest.
