Phoenix Mercury vs. Minnesota Lynx
June 3, 2025 8:00 pm EDT
The WNBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Phoenix Mercury and the Minnesota Lynx. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Phoenix Mercury vs. Minnesota Lynx 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 tomorrow night’s Mercury vs. Lynx matchup.

MVP-Napheesa Collier, Forward, Minnesota Lynx $14,000
Veteran forward Napheesa Collier has been the leader in the pain that the Minnesota Lynx have needed to win games this season. Let’s review Collier’s relevant player data from the 2025 WNBA regular season to better shed light on the talented forward’s overall contributions to her team.
In the six games that forward Napheesa Collier played for the Minnesota Lynx in the 2025 WNBA regular season, Collier is averaging a robust 26.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks a game.

More recently, in the Minnesota Lynx 76-70 win over the Connecticut Sun five days ago, Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier certainly played at a high level. Collier amassed 33 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in Minnesota’s defeat of the Sun. It is also noteworthy that in the Lynx defeat of the Sun, Collier tallied a massive 66.7 FanDuel points.
In my view, Napheesa Collier is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA single game contest.
