Washington Mystics vs. Las Vegas Aces
June 26, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Washington Mystics and the Las Vegas Aces. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Washington Mystics vs. Las Vegas Aces 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 Mystics vs. Aces matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
MVP-A’ja Wilson, Center, Las Vegas Aces $14,400
Veteran center A’ja Wilson has been the leader in the paint that the Las Vegas Aces have needed to win games this season. Let’s review Wilson’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the talented center’s overall contributions to her team.
In the 11 games that center A’ja Wilson played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Wilson is averaging a robust 21.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.6 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 11 games that A’ja Wilson has played for the Aces in 2025, Wilson has compiled a 44% field goal percentage, a 22.2% three-point percentage and an 85.2% free throw percentage.
Last month, in the Las Vegas Aces 87-62 win over the Connecticut Sun, Las Vegas center A’ja Wilson played exceptionally well. In the Aces victory over the Sun, Wilson compiled 22 points, ten rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks.
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, A’ja Wilson is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
Flex Plays
Jackie Young, Guard, Las Vegas Aces $11,000
In addition to forward A’ja Wilson, guard Jackie Young has been a key contributor for the Las Vegas Aces in 2025. In the 14 games that Jackie Young has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Young is averaging 18.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks a game.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Shakira Austin, Forward (Washington Mystics) $11,800: Sug Sutton, Guard (Washington Mystics) $7,000.
