Los Angeles Sparks vs. Indiana Fever
July 5, 2025 7:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Los Angeles Sparks and the Indiana Fever. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Sparks vs. Indiana Fever 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 Sparks vs. Fever matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
Captain-Dearica Hamby, Forward, Los Angeles Sparks $12,400
Veteran forward Dearica Hamby has been the driving force behind the Los Angeles Sparks success this season. Let’s examine Hamby’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the forward’s overall contributions to her team.
In the 18 games that forward Dearica Hamby has played for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Hamby is averaging a robust 16.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.6 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 18 games that Dearica Hamby has played for the Sparks in 2025, Hamby has averaged 37.08 FanDuel points a game.
These two teams met earlier this season. How did Hamby perform in the game? Who prevailed? In the Los Angeles Sparks 85-75 victory over the Indiana Fever last month, Dearica Hamby played exceptionally well. More specifically, Hamby amassed 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in the Sparks defeat of the Fever.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Dearica Hamby can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in this evening’s matchup with the Indiana Fever.
In summary, I think Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Dearica Hamby at the captain position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.

Kelsey Plum, Guard, Los Angeles Sparks $10,800
