The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the New York Liberty and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the New York Liberty vs. Dallas Wings 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. Dallas Wings matchup.
FanDuel DFS Picks
MVP-Sabrina Ionescu, Guard, New York Liberty $13,200
Talented guard Sabrina Ionescu has been the driving force behind the New York Liberty’s success on the basketball court this season. With that said, how has the veteran guard performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review Ionescu’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 23 games that Sabrina Ionescu has played for the New York Liberty in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Ionescu is averaging 19.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 23 games that Sabrina Ionescu has played for the Liberty this season, Ionescu has compiled a 39.6% field goal percentage, a 31.9% three-point percentage and a 94% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the New York Liberty’s 89-76 win over the Phoenix Mercury, New York guard Sabrina Ionescu certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Stewart amassed 29 points, five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in the Liberty’s defeat of the Phoenix Mercury.
It is noteworthy that the New York Liberty have listed Breanna Stewart as out for this evening’s game due to injury. I think the absence of Stewart should open up more offensive opportunities for Sabrina Ionescu in tonight’s WNBA game.
In my view, Sabrina Ionescu is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. With that said, I am backing New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
