Seattle Storm vs. Las Vegas Aces
August 8, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Las Vegas Aces. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Minnesota Lynx 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 today’s Seattle Storm vs. Las Vegas Aces matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
MVP A’ja Wilson, Center, Las Vegas Aces $14,600
Veteran center A’ja Wilson has been the driving force behind the Las Vegas Aces success on the basketball court 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 26 games that center A’ja Wilson played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Wilson is averaging a rather impressive 21.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.3 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 26 games that A’ja Wilson has played for the Aces in 2025, Wilson has compiled a 49% field goal percentage, a 27.8% three-point percentage and an 83.9% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Las Vegas Aces 101-77 win over the Golden State Valkyries earlier this month, Las Vegas center A’ja Wilson played exceptionally well. More specifically, in the Aces victory over Golden State, Wilson compiled 14 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, four steals and one block in only 29 minutes of play.
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 amass the most FanDuel points in this evening’s WNBA game. With that said, I am backing Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson at the MVP position for this WNBA regular season game.
Flex Plays
Jackie Young, Guard, Las Vegas Aces $10,200
In addition to forward A’ja Wilson, guard Jackie Young has been a key contributor for the Las Vegas Aces in 2025. In the 30 games that Jackie Young has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Young is averaging 16.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks a game.
In conclusion, I fully expect Jackie Young to continue her outstanding play in tonight’s WNBA game.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Skylar Diggins, Guard (Seattle Storm) $12,000: Gabby Williams, Guard (Seattle Storm) $11,600.
