FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks: Wings vs. Valkyries 7/25/25
Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries
July 25, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Dallas Wings and the Golden State Valkyries. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries 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 Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries matchup.

MVP-Paige Bueckers, Guard, Dallas Wings $12,800
Rookie guard Paige Bueckers has been a key contributor for the Dallas Wings in 2025. Having stated that, how has Bueckers performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s examine Bueckers game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 19 games that guard Paige Bueckers has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Bueckers is averaging a robust 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 19 games that Paige Bueckers has played for the Wings in 2025, Bueckers has compiled a 44.9% field goal percentage, a 32.3% three-point percentage and an 84% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Dallas Wings dominant 87-63 win over the Seattle Storm three days ago, Dallas guard Paige Bueckers played exceptionally well. More specifically, in the Wings defeat of the Storm, Bueckers amassed 14 points, four rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in only 27 minutes of play.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Paige Bueckers can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with the Golden State Valkyries.
In my view, Paige Bueckers is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
