Seattle Storm vs. Dallas Wings
August 22, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Storm and the Dallas Wings. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Dallas Wings 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. Dallas Wings matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
Paige Bueckers, Guard, Dallas Wings $13,600
Rookie guard Paige Bueckers has been a standout performer for the Dallas Wings in 2025. With that said, how has Bueckers played from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine the rookie guard’s game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 29 games that guard Paige Bueckers has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Bueckers is averaging a robust 19.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 29 games that Paige Bueckers has played for the Wings in 2025, Bueckers has compiled a 47.4% field goal percentage, a 33.7% three-point percentage and an 88.6% free throw percentage.
Earlier this week, the Dallas Wings announced that guard Arike Ogunbowale will miss tonight’s game due to an ongoing knee injury. In my opinion, the absence of Ogunbowale in the Dallas Wings lineup should open up more offensive opportunities for Paige Bueckers in this evening’s matchup with the Seattle Storm.
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, Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Paige Bueckers at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA showdown contest.

Maddy Siegrist, Forward, Dallas Wings $8,600
