Phoenix Mercury vs. New York Liberty
July 25, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Chicago Sky. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Chicago Sky 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 Mercury vs. Liberty matchup.

MVP-Breanna Stewart, Forward, New York Liberty $13,000
Talented forward Breanna Stewart 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 forward performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review Stewart’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 22 games that Breanna Stewart has played for the New York Liberty in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Stewart averaged 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 blocks a game.

More recently, in the New York Liberty’s 98-77 win over the Indiana Fever earlier this month, New York forward Breanna Stewart certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Stewart amassed 24 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, four blocks and one steal in the Liberty’s defeat of the Indiana Fever.
In my view, Breanna Stewart 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 forward Breanna Stewart at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
