FanDuel Best WNBA DFS Picks: Storm vs. Mystics 7/26/25
Seattle Storm vs. Washington Mystics
July 26, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Washington Mystics. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Washington Mystics 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 this evening’s Storm vs. Mystics matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
MVP-Gabby Williams, Forward, Seattle Storm $12,600
Talented forward Gabby Williams has been the driving force behind the Seattle Storm’s success on the basketball court this season. With that said, how has Williams performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Williams relevant game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 25 games that Gabby Williams has played for the Seattle Storm this season, Williams has averaged 13.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 25 games that Gabby Williams has played for the Storm in 2025, Williams has compiled a 43.9% field goal percentage, a 32.4% three-point percentage and an 84.4% free throw percentage.
Two days ago, in the Seattle Storm’s dominant 95-57 win over the Chicago Sky, Seattle forward Gabby Williams certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. In the Storm’s victory over the Sky, Williams amassed ten points, four rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block in only 24 minutes of play.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Gabby Williams can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with the Washington Mystics.
In my view, Gabby Williams 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 forward Gabby Reese at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
