FanDuel Best WNBA DFS Picks: Liberty vs. Lynx 7/30/25
New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx
July 30, 2025 8:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.
FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules
Here are the FanDuel single game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 1.5x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value. Additionally, the MVP is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining five players in your lineup will be flex plays. The five flex positions will receive the standard FanDuel points value. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) FanDuel single game contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel 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 FanDuel picks for tonight’s New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx matchup.
