Atlanta Dream vs. Seattle Storm
August 13, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Atlanta Dream and the Seattle Storm. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Atlanta Dream vs. Seattle Storm 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 today’s Atlanta Dream vs. Seattle Storm matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
MVP-Sklyar Diggins, Guard, Seattle Storm $10,000
Veteran guard Skylar Diggins has been the driving force behind the Seattle Storm’s success on the basketball court this season. With that said, how has Diggins performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Diggins relevant game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 31 games that guard Skylar Diggins has played for the Seattle Storm in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Diggins is averaging a robust 16.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 31 games that Skylar Diggins has played for the Storm in 2025, Diggins has compiled a 42.1% field goal percentage, a 38.3% three-point percentage and a 78.5% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Los Angeles Sparks 94-91 win over the Seattle Storm three days ago, Seattle guard Skylar Diggins certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. In the Sparks victory over the Storm, Diggins amassed 17 points, two rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block in 32 minutes of play.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the MVP position for a Draftkings 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.
