Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever
September 9, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Indiana Fever 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 Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever matchup.

Talented forward Aliyah Boston has been the driving force behind the Indiana Fever’s success on the basketball court this season. Having stated that, how has Boston performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s examine Boston’s game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the MVP position for a FanDuel 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, Aliyah Boston is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA showdown contest.
