FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks: Wings vs. Fever 8/12/25
Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever
August 12, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Dallas Wings and the Indiana Fever. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever 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 tonight’s Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever matchup.
FanDuel WNBA DFS Picks
Aliyah Boston, Forward, Indiana Fever $12,800
Veteran forward Aliyah Boston has been the driving force behind the Indiana Fever’s success on the basketball court this season. Having stated that, how has Boston performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s examine Boston’s game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 32 games that forward Aliyah Boston played for the Indiana Fever in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Boston has averaged 15.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 32 games that Aliyah Boston has played for the Indiana Fever in 2025, Boston has compiled a 53.8% field goal percentage, a 20.8% three-point percentage and an 79.5% free throw percentage.
These two teams have met multiple times this season. Who won the most recent matchup? How did Boston perform in the game? In the Indiana Fever’s 88-78 win over the Dallas Wings earlier this month, Aliyah Boston amassed 12 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block in 29 minutes of play.
It should also be noted that the Indiana Fever have declared guard Caitlin Clark as inactive for today’s contest due to injury. I think the absence of Clark should open up more offensive opportunities for Aliyah Boston in today’s WNBA game.
In my opinion, Aliyah Boston is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. With that said, I am backing Indiana Pacers forward Aliyah Boston at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.
Flex Plays
Paige Bueckers, Guard, Dallas Wings $12,600
Rookie guard Paige Bueckers has been a key contributor for the Dallas Wings in 2025. Let’s examine Bueckers game data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the guard’s contributions to her team.
In the 25 games that guard Paige Bueckers has played for the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Bueckers is averaging a robust 18.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks a game.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s WNBA regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Kelsey Mitchell, Guard (Indiana Fever) $11,800: Lexie Hull, Guard (Indiana Fever) $7,400.
