The Seattle Storm and Dallas Wings meet Monday in WNBA action at the College Park Center. Here’s a Wings vs Storm Prediction. This article will include a Wings vs Storm Pick.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Seattle Storm look for their first win after losing their opener to the Mercury. The Seattle Storm hope to avoid their third straight 0-2 start to the season.

The Seattle Storm are averaging 59 points on 33.3 percent shooting and allowing 81 points on 51.7 percent shooting. Skylar Diggins is averaging 21 points and 3 rebounds, while Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds. Erica Wheeler is dishing 2 assists and Li Yueru is grabbing 4 rebounds. The Seattle Storm are shooting 17.6 percent from beyond the arc and 70 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 33.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 29 rebounds per game.

Dallas Wings Betting Preview

The Dallas Wings also look for a win after losing their opener to the Lynx. The Wings look to avoid their first 0-2 start since the 2019 season.

The Dallas Wings are averaging 84 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 99 points on 53 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 16 points and 4 assists, while DiJonai Carrington is averaging 15 points and 3 rebounds. Myisha Hines-Allen is the third double-digit scorer and Maddy Siegrist is grabbing 2 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 35.7 percent from beyond the arc and 79.2 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 36.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35 rebounds per game.

Wings vs Storm Injury Report

Luisa Geiselsoder is probable for the Wings after not playing in the season opener.

The Storm will continue to be without Katie Lou Samuelson.

Wings vs Storm Prediction

The Storm should be favored as they’re the more experienced team with greater expectations. The problem is the Storm were awful in their season opener, losing to the Mercury 81-59 as a six-point favorite. It’s one game, but I’m not convinced another road game is going to help turn things around. The Wings showed flashes against the Lynx, and a somewhat competitive game against a top-three team in this league is a positive.

I’d also expect a better effort from Paige Bueckers now that she has a game under her belt. If the Storm played the way they did in their first effort, this is a game the Wings could win. We’re still feeling these teams out. I’ll grab the bucket with the Wings.

The WNBA presents Draftkings 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 Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings 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 Draftkings picks for tomorrow night’s Seattle Storm vs. Dallas Wings matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Skylar Diggins, Guard, Seattle Storm $8,600

Veteran guard Skylar Diggins was a standout performer for the Seattle Storm last season. With that said how did Diggins perform from a statistical standpoint? Let’s review Diggins relevant player data from the 2024 WNBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 40 games that Skylar Diggins played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Diggins averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 40 games that Skylar Diggins played for the Storm in 2024, Diggins averaged a robust 32.7 Draftkings points a contest.

More recently, in the Storm’s opening game of the 2025 WNBA regular season two days ago, Seattle guard Skylar Diggins 21 points, three rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block in the Las Vegas Aces 83-76 defeat of the Seattle Storm.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings 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, Skylar Diggins is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins at the captain position for this one game Draftkings WNBA single game contest.

Flex Plays

Nneka Ogwumike, Forward, Seattle Storm $9,400

In addition to guard Skylar Diggins, forward Nneka Ogwumike was a key contributor for the Seattle Storm last season. Let’s examine Ogwumike’s game data from 2024 to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 37 games that forward Nneka Ogwumike played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Ogwumike averaged 16.6 points, 7.7 assists, 2.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.5 blocks a contest.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 37 games that Ogwumike played for the Storm in 2024, Ogwumike averaged a rather impressive 34.8 Draftkings points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this WNBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Arika Ogunbowale, Guard (Dallas Wings) $9,600: Paige Bueckers, Guard (Dallas Wings) $9,000.

The Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury meet Saturday in WNBA action at the PHX Arena. Here’s a Mercury vs Storm Prediction. This article will include a Mercury vs Storm Pick.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Storm won 25 games last season and will enter year five under coach Noelle Quinn. The Storm are as experienced as any team in the league, as there are five players who are at least 30 years old. Skylar Diggins and Nneka Ogwumike are back for another season, while Erica Wheeler and Alysha Clark were added to create this old roster. Gabby Williams will play her first full WNBA season since 2022, and at 28 years old, she’s as decorated overseas as it gets.

The one young player is Dominique Malonga, who Tony Parker compared to Victor Wembanyama, and it will be interesting to see how much she plays her rookie year. Overall, the Storm are a veteran team filled with players who have been there, done that at all levels. We’ll see if that’s enough for the Storm to push the contenders in this league. 

Phoenix Mercury Betting Preview

The Mercury haven’t won a playoff series since winning the title in 2021, and they enter year two under coach Nate Tibbetts. It’s a new era in Phoenix with Diana Taurasi retiring and Brittney Griner going to Atlanta. Kahleah Copper and Natasha Cloud showed enough last season that they’re capable of leading the franchise. The Mercury were also busy by adding Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas, players with a combined seven all-star berths.

The core of this Mercury roster is in their prime, and they have scoring and athletic ability. Copper, Sabally, and Thomas have all been the go-to player on previous teams, so it will be interesting to see how they come together. There’s high upside with this Mercury squad, and they will be a team to watch, as this is the one team that could legit spoil the party for some of the elite contenders.

Mercury vs Storm Injury Report

The Storm will be without Katie Lou Samuelson.

The Mercury will be without Natasha Mack, Kahleah Copper, Kitija Laksa, and Murjanatu Musa.

Mercury vs Storm Prediction

I’m high on the Mercury with the additions they made and will be backing them a lot this season. The problem is the Mercury enter the season with a lot of injuries, which includes not having Copper for opening day. A team as experienced as the Storm should be able to take advantage of that. The Mercury are also 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. It’s just not an ideal situation for the Mercury, who are a bit top-heavy, so being down so many players already puts them behind the eight-ball. The line is reasonable. Give me the Storm and the small number.

The WNBA presents a first-round playoff matchup between the Seattle Storm and Las Vegas Aces. Let’s take a look at this game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Las Vegas Aces game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game 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 2x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value.

The remaining four players in your lineup will be one star and three flex plays. The star player will receive 1.5x the standard fantasy points value. The final three 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.

Here are my FanDuel picks for tonight’s Seattle Storm vs. Las Vegas Aces matchup.

FanDuel WNBA Player Selections

MVP-Skylar Diggins-Smith, Guard, Seattle Storm $9,000

Talented Seattle guard Skylar Diggins-Smith has been the leader in the backcourt that the Seattle Storm have needed to win games this season. Let’s review Diggins-Smith’s game data from the 2024 WNBA regular season to better illustrate my previous statement.

In the 40 games that Skylar Diggins-Smith played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Diggins-Smith averaged a robust 33.1 FanDuel points a game.

These two teams met two days ago in the first game of this WNBA playoff series. Who prevailed? How did Seattle guard Skylar Diggins-Smith play in the game?  In the Las Vegas Aces 78-67 victory over the Seattle Storm earlier this week, Diggins-Smith tallied an impressive 16 points, four rebounds, eight assists, one steal and two blocks.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Aces win over the Storm just noted, Skylar Diggins-Smith compiled a massive 38.8 FanDuel points. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I need to see from a player that I select at the MVP position for a one game WNBA FanDuel contest.

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 for tonight’s game.

In summary, I like Skylar Diggins-Smith’s chances of continuing to play quality basketball versus the Las Vegas Aces later today. For that specific reason, I am backing Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins-Smith at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA DFS contest.

Star-A’ja Wilson, Forward, Las Vegas Aces $11,500

In the 38 games that Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Wilson averaged a whopping 26.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.7 blocks a game.

From a general perspective, I like Wilson’s matchup in this WNBA playoff game. Why? Aces forward A’ja Wilson will face a Seattle Storm defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball at times this season.

Upon the completion of 40 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Seattle Storm ranked eighth in team defensive rebounding percentage (70%), ninth in total opponent second chance points allowed a contest (10.9), and tenth in total points allowed in the paint a game (38.1). What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, the Seattle Storm are not a good defensive basketball team entering tonight’s WNBA playoff game.

Flex plays I like to play well (FanDuel price noted): Jackie Young, Guard (Las Vegas Aces) $7,000: Nneka Ogwumike, Forward (Seattle Storm) $8,500.

The Seattle Storm and Las Vegas Aces meet Tuesday in game 2 of the WNBA First Round at the Michelob ULTRA Arena. Here’s a Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Prediction. This article will include a Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Pick.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Seattle Storm need a win to force a game 3 on thruway. The Seattle Storm have won 5 of their last 8 road games. The Seattle Storm are averaging 67 points on 36.8 percent shooting and allowing 78 points on 43.5 percent shooting. Skylar Diggins-Smith is averaging 16 points and 4 rebounds, while Gabby Williams is averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds. Nneka Ogwumike is the third double-digit scorer and Jordan Horston is grabbing 3 rebounds. The Seattle Storm are shooting 25 percent from beyond the arc and 100 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 38.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 40 rebounds per game.

Las Vegas Aces Betting Preview

The Las Vegas Aces look for a sweep to advance to the next round. The Aces have won 5 straight home games. The Las Vegas Aces are averaging 78 points on 43.5 percent shooting and allowing 67 points on 36.8 percent shooting. A’ja Wilson is averaging 21 points and 8 rebounds, while Tiffany Hayes is averaging 20 points and 4 rebounds. Chelsea Gray is the third double-digit scorer and Jackie Young is grabbing 7 rebounds. The Las Vegas Aces are shooting 38.9 percent from beyond the arc and 100 percent from the free throw line. The Las Vegas Aces are allowing 25 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 33 rebounds per game.

Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Injury Report

Queen Egbo is questionable for the Las Vegas Aces due to an illness. The Seattle Storm don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Prediction

The Seattle Storm hung around in game 1 and didn’t even play that well. Despite shooting poorly from the field, the Storm had a 1 point lead with less than 8 minutes to go. The problem is the Aces pulled away quickly in a short span and showed just how dangerous they can be when they lock in. The Aces are 9-0-1 ATS in their last 10 games and 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Is Skylar Diggins-Smith capable of another scoring outburst? Give me the Aces again and the chalk, as they’re still the team to beat and have been covering machines over the last month.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Seattle Storm vs. Las Vegas Aces matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-A’ja Wilson, Forward, Las Vegas Aces $10,600

Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson enters this evening’s contest with the Storm playing outstanding basketball from a statistical perspective.

In the 38 games that Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Wilson averaged a whopping 26.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 38 games that Aces forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces this season, Wilson has accumulated a massive 54.4 Draftkings points a game.

It is noteworthy that these two teams met in Seattle five days ago. Who prevailed? How did Wilson perform in the game? Let’s look at the relevant game data to answer that question. In the Las Vegas Aces 85-72 victory over the Seattle Storm earlier this week, Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson tallied an impressive 21 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.

From a general perspective, I like Wilson’s matchup in this WNBA playoff game. Why? Aces forward A’ja Wilson will face a Seattle Storm defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball at times this season.

Upon the completion of 40 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Seattle Storm ranked eighth in team defensive rebounding percentage (70%), ninth in total opponent second chance points allowed a contest (10.9), and tenth in total points allowed in the paint a game (38.1). What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, the Seattle Storm are not a good defensive basketball team entering tonight’s WNBA playoff game.

For the reasons just noted, I am backing Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson as my captain for tonight’s Draftkings WNBA contest.

Flex Plays

Jewell Loyd, Guard, Seattle Storm $7,800

Storm guard Jewell Loyd has been the leader in the backcourt that the Seattle Storm have needed to win games this season.

In the 37 games that the Seattle Storm have played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Seattle Storm guard Jewell Loyd averaged a robust 33.8 Draftkings points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Skylar Diggins-Smith, Guard (Seattle Storm) $9,800: Jackie Young, Guard, (Las Vegas Aces) $7,200.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Seattle Storm have won 6 of their last 8 games. The Seattle Storm have won 5 of their last 7 road games. The Seattle Storm are averaging 83.3 points on 43.5 percent shooting and allowing 78.8 points on 42.6 percent shooting. Jewell Loyd is averaging 19.7 points and 4.5 rebounds, while Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 16.7 points and 7.6 rebounds. Skylar Diggins-Smith is the third double-digit scorer and Ezi Magbegor is grabbing 8 rebounds. The Seattle Storm are shooting 28.8 percent from beyond the arc and 84 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 32.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.7 rebounds per game.

Las Vegas Aces Betting Preview

The Las Vegas Aces look for a win after winning 10 of their last 12 games. The Aces have won 4 straight home games. The Las Vegas Aces are averaging 86.4 points on 45.4 percent shooting and allowing 80.9 points on 43.3 percent shooting.

Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Injury Report

The Las Vegas Aces don’t have any players listed on their injury report. Ezi Magbegor has been ruled out for the Storm due to a concussion.

Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Prediction

The Las Vegas Aces are 3-1 SU against the Storm, and 2 of those wins were by double digits. The Seattle Storm have played improved ball on the road lately, but their 9 road losses are the most of the top five teams. The Aces have caught fire over the last few weeks, looking more like the team we expected to see all season, and they’re 9-0-1 ATS in their last 10 games. When the Aces play to their potential, I still believe they’re the team to beat. Big number, but I’ll lean toward Vegas in game 1.

The Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury meet Thursday in WNBA action at the Footprint Center. Here’s a Phoenix Mercury vs Seattle Storm Prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Mercury vs Seattle Storm Pick.

Seattle Storm Betting Preview

The Seattle Storm have won 5 of their last 7 games. The Seattle Storm have won 4 of their last 6 road games. The Seattle Storm are averaging 83.4 points on 43.4 percent shooting and allowing 78.8 points on 42.4 percent shooting. Jewell Loyd is averaging 19.7 points and 4.5 rebounds, while Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 16.7 points and 7.6 rebounds. Skylar Diggins-Smith is the third double-digit scorer and Ezi Magbegor is grabbing 8 rebounds. The Seattle Storm are shooting 28.6 percent from beyond the arc and 84 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 33 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.6 rebounds per game.

Phoenix Mercury Betting Preview

The Phoenix Mercury need a win after losing 8 of their last 13 games. The Mercury have lost 5 of their last 6 home games. The Phoenix Mercury are averaging 81.7 points on 44.1 percent shooting and allowing 84.8 points on 43.3 percent shooting. Kahleah Cooper is averaging 21.6 points and 4.6 rebounds, while Brittney Griner is averaging 18.2 points and 6.6 rebounds. Diana Taurasi is the third double-digit scorer and Natasha Cloud is grabbing 4.1 rebounds. The Phoenix Mercury are shooting 33.6 percent from beyond the arc and 80.2 percent from the free throw line. The Phoenix Mercury are allowing 34.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.6 rebounds per game.

Phoenix Mercury vs Seattle Storm Injury Report

The Phoenix Mercury will be without Charisma Osborne, Rebecca Allen and Kahleah Copper. The Seattle Storm will be without Ezi Magbegor, while Jewell Loyld is questionable with a knee injury.

Phoenix Mercury vs Seattle Storm Prediction

We already have notable names listed out for this contest, but I’d check the report later in the day to make sure there’s no more changes. Neither the Mercury nor Storm have anything to play for, as they’re both locked into their playoff seeds. With that said, I’ll lean toward the Mercury at home and the free bucket. The Storm have been shaky on the road, while the Mercury are coming off back to back wins and probably would like to keep the positive mojo going after a couple of rocky weeks. Again, check the injury report later in the day before locking in anything.

Seattle Storm vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction

The Seattle Storm are fantastic at home, and seeing them as this of a dog is strange. However, the Storm are banged up, with Jewell Loyd and Ezi Magbegor being ruled out. Not ideal when the Las Vegas Aces are looking more and more like the Las Vegas Aces. The Aces have won 8 of their last 10 games and are 7-2-1 ATS in those games. The Aces have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Storm and have covered 7 of those games. I’ll lay the buckets given the Storm’s injuries and the Aces flipping a switch with the playoffs around the corner.

Seattle Storm vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

The Seattle Storm play their best ball at home and are still fighting for playoff seeding, but this line is thick for a team that’s failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. The Storm will also be without Jewell Loyd and Ezi Magbegor. The Los Angeles Sparks have nothing to play for and are the most banged up team in the league, but they’re still 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games when underdogs of 7 or more points. Oddsmakers keep throwing out these massive lines for the Sparks just because, and the tickets keep cashing. Give me the Sparks and the free buckets.

Dallas Wings vs Seattle Storm Prediction

The Seattle Storm haven’t been great on the road, and they’ve failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. Not ideal as a big road favorite. With that said, the Storm are still the better team overall and are still fighting for playoff seeding. The Dallas Wings don’t play a lick of defense, they have nothing to play for at this stage, they’ve lost 6 straight games and have failed to cover each of those 6 games. The Wings feel like a team that’s checked out and is waiting for the offseason to arrive. Give me the Storm in a comfortable road win.

The WNBA presents a matchup between the Seattle Storm and Los Angeles Sparks. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Seattle Storm vs. Los Angeles Sparks game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings 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 Draftkings picks for this evening’s Seattle Storm vs. Los Angeles Sparks matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Skylar Diggins-Smith, Guard, Seattle Storm $9,200

How important has guard Skylar Diggins Smith been to the Seattle Storm this season? Let’s review Diggins-Smith’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 35 games that Skylar Diggins-Smith has played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Diggins-Smith is averaging a robust 14.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.9 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 35 games that Skylar Diggins-Smith has played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Diggins-Smith averaged an impressive 31.7 Draftkings points a game.

More recently, in the Seattle Storm’s dominating 90-66 win over the Phoenix Mercury four days ago, Skylar Diggins-Smith played exceptionally well. More specifically, Diggins-Smith compiled 12 points, two rebounds, 11 assists, and two steals in the Storm’s victory over the Mercury.

From a general matchup perspective, I like Skylar Diggins-Smith’s chances of playing at a high level in this game. Why? Diggins-Smith will face a Los Angeles Sparks defense that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball all season.

Through 35 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Los Angeles Sparks are currently ranked an abysmal tenth in total team defensive rating (106.3), ninth in total opponent fast break points allowed a game (11.1), and 11th in total points allowed in the paint a game (39.2). What did we learn? Clearly, the Los Angeles Sparks are currently not a good defensive basketball team entering tonight’s WNBA regular season contest.

In my opinion, Seattle guard Skylar Diggins-Smith is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this tonight’s WNBA regular season contest. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Skylar Diggins-Smith as my captain for this one game WNBA DFS Showdown slate.

Flex Plays

Azura Stevens, Forward, Los Angeles Sparks $7,000

Los Angeles forward Azura Stevens has certainly been playing quality basketball recently. Let’s take a look at Stevens recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the last four games that forward Azura Stevens has played for the Los Angeles Sparks this season, Stevens has averaged 8.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 steals a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well this evening (Draftkings price noted): Odyssey Sims, Guard (Los Angeles Sparks) $7,400: Jewell Lloyd, Guard (Seattle Storm) $9,000: Rickea Jackson, Forward (Los Angeles Sparks) $8,200.

The Seattle Storm are shooting 28.8 percent from beyond the arc and 83.3 percent from the free throw line. The Seattle Storm are allowing 33.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35 rebounds per game.

Los Angeles Sparks Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Sparks are averaging 78.3 points on 42.4 percent shooting and allowing 86.4 points on 46.8 percent shooting. Dearica Hamby is averaging 17.3 points and 3.5 assists, while Rickea Jackson is averaging 12.8 points and 3.8 rebounds. Azura Stevens is the third double-digit scorer and Aari McDonald is dishing 3.7 assists. The Los Angeles Sparks are shooting 32.3 percent from beyond the arc and 75.9 percent from the free throw line. The Los Angeles Sparks are allowing 37.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.9 rebounds per game.

Los Angeles Sparks vs Seattle Storm Injury Report

The Los Angeles Sparks will be without Cameron Brink, Lexie Brown and Layshia Clarendon, while Aari McDonald is questionable with an illness. The Seattle Storm don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Los Angeles Sparks vs Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk on the road with the Seattle Storm, a team that’s had issues on the road all season. However, the Los Angeles Sparks are getting mopped on a nightly basis and the constant injuries don’t help. The Storm should win this game comfortably and there motivation to do so as they’re fighting for a top four seed. Nothing would surprise me in this spot, but if forced to pick, I’d have to lean Storm due to the mess that has become the Sparks.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Phoenix Mercury vs. Seattle Storm matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Nneka Ogwumike, Forward, Seattle Storm $9,800

Seattle forward Nneka Ogwumike has been the leader in the paint that the Seattle Storm have needed to win games this season. Having stated that, how has the talented Seattle forward been playing from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Ogwumike’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 31 games that Nneka Ogwumike has played for the Seattle Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Ogwumike is averaging a whopping 16.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 31 games that Nneka Ogwumike has played for the Storm in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Ogwumike averaged 35.5 Draftkings points a game.

I also like Nneka Ogwumike’s matchup this evening. Why? Ogwumike will face a Phoenix Mercury team that has been vulnerable on the defensive side of the basketball this season. Through 33 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Phoenix Mercury are currently ranked ninth in total team defensive rating (104.4), 12th in defensive rebound percentage (68%), and 12th in total opponent second chance points allowed a game (12.6). Clearly, the defensive data just presented tells us that the Phoenix Mercury are not a good defensive basketball team.

In my opinion, Seattle forward Nneka Ogwumike is the most likely player to post the most fantasy points in tonight’s game. For that reason, I am rolling with Nneka Ogwumike as my captain for this Draftkings WNBA Showdown slate.

Flex Plays

Kahleah Copper, Guard, Phoenix Mercury $8,200

Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper has been one of the few bright spots for a Phoenix Mercury team that has struggled at times this season. Let’s take a look at Copper’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 34 games that Kahleah Copper has played for the Phoenix Mercury in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Copper has averaged a robust 23.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and one steal a game.

More recently, in the Phoenix Mercury’s 74-66 win over the Atlanta Dream four days ago, Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper played exceptionally well from a statistical perspective. More specifically, Kahleah Copper tallied a whopping 28 points, three rebounds, and four assists in 32 minutes played in the Mercury’s victory over the Atlanta Dream.

Additional players I like to play well this evening (Draftkings price noted): Diana Taurasi, Guard (Phoenix Mercury) $7,000: Skylar Diggins Smith (Seattle Storm) $9,400: Sophie Cunningham, Guard (Phoenix Mercury) $6,200.

The Phoenix Mercury need a win after losing 6 of their last 9 games. The Mercury have split their last 8 road games. The Phoenix Mercury are averaging 82.1 points on 44.1 percent shooting and allowing 84.4 points on 43.3 percent shooting. Kahleah Cooper is averaging 21.8 points and 4.6 rebounds, while Brittney Griner is averaging 18.1 points and 6.4 rebounds.

Seattle Storm vs Phoenix Mercury Injury Report

The Seattle Storm don’t have any players listed on their injury report. The Phoenix Mercury will be without Rebecca Allen and Charisma Osborne.

Seattle Storm vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

Both the Storm and Mercury have been a mess over the last couple of weeks, so it’s hard to get a proper read in this spot. With that said, the Storm have played their best ball at home where they’re 11-3 SU and that’s why I have to lean toward Seattle. The Phoenix Mercury are 5-8 SU on the road and I have less confidence in them finding their footing on the road. The Storm are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, but I’ll follow their success at home. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Storm.

Connecticut Sun vs Seattle Storm Prediction

The Connecticut Sun just beat the Storm a couple of days ago by 7 points, and there’s no reason to think this game will be any different. The Seattle Storm aren’t good on the road and they’re not covering numbers. In fact, the Storm have failed to cover each of their last 9 games. The Sun are arguably the best home team in the league, where they’re 13-3 SU. The line is reasonable. Give me the Sun and the chalk.

Connecticut Sun vs Seattle Storm Prediction

The Seattle Storm aren’t the same team on the road as it’s where 7 of their 12 losses have come, and this is an extremely early start time for players on a west coast clock. The Connecticut Sun are 12-3 SU at home this season, and you rarely get them at lines this soft at home. Also, the Storm have failed to cover each of their last 8 games. I’ll lay the soft line with the Sun at home.

Later today, the New York Liberty will face off against the Seattle Storm at the Climate Pledge Arena. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the New York Liberty vs. Seattle Storm game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings 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 Draftkings picks for this evening’s New York Liberty vs. Seattle Storm matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Breanna Stewart, Forward, New York Liberty $11,000

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s WNBA game? The New York Liberty arrive at tonight’s game with the Seattle Storm playing quality basketball. Let me be more specific. The Liberty have won nine of the team’s last 11 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, including an impressive 84-70 win over the Phoenix Mercury four days ago

Conversely, the Seattle Storm have been playing below average basketball recently. The Storm have lost three of the team’s last five games played this season, including an embarrassing 94-75 loss to the Indiana Fever last week.

Now that we have ascertained how both of these WNBA teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s game. New York forward Breanna Stewart has certainly established herself as an essential part of this New York Liberty team in 2024.

In the 31 games that New York forward Breanna Stewart has played for the New York Liberty in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Stewart averaged 20.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.3 blocks a game.

More recently, in the New York Liberty’s loss to the Los Angeles Sparks two days ago, Breanna Stewart played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Stewart tallied 32 points, six rebounds, one assist, and two steals in the Mercury’s win over the Liberty.

It should be noted that talented New York Liberty forward Jonquel Jones missed the Liberty’s last regular season game due to illness. Jones is officially listed as questionable for tonight’s game. If Jones misses this evening’s game, I think Breana Stewart will see additional opportunities within the team’s offense. Keep that in mind as you construct lineups for tonight’s one game WNBA DFS slate.

Flex Plays

Jewell Loyd, Guard, Seattle Storm $8,800

Seattle Storm guard Jewell Loyd is certainly showing the world why she is one of the best guards in the WNBA this season.

In the 29 games that guard Jewell Loyd has played for the Seattle Stom in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Lloyd has averaged a robust 34.2 Draftkings points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Gabby William, Forward (Seattle Storm) $5,000: Ezi Magbegor, Forward, (Seattle Storm) $8,200: Nyara Sabally, Forward (Seattle Storm) $4,000.

Seattle Storm vs New York Liberty Prediction

I considered the Seattle Storm and the free bucket because they’re fantastic at home and this will be just the second time this season where they’re a home dog. With that said, the New York Liberty are the best team in the league, and they’ll be eager for a bounce back effort after a brutal loss to the Sparks. The Storm have failed to cover each of their last 7 games. We’re laying a single bucket. I have to side with the Liberty on the road.
