Los Angeles Sparks vs. Seattle Storm
September 1, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Los Angeles Sparks. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Los Angeles Sparks 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 tomorrow evening’s Storm vs. Sparks matchup.

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, Skylar Diggins is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. With that said, I am backing Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
