]]>Before we dive into the New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.
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.

Here are my FanDuel picks for tonights New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx matchup.
Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier arrives at the fourth game of the 2024 WNBA Finals playing quality basketball from a statistical perspective. Let’s take a look at Collier’s game data from this season to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the 34 games that Napheesa Collier played for the Minnesota Lynx in the 2024 season, talented Lynx forward Napheesa Collier averaged an impressive 20.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks a game.
In Game 1 of the 2024 WNBA Finals one week ago, forward Napheesa Collier poured in 21 points, eight rebounds, two assists, six blocks, and three steals in the Minnesota Lynx’s 95-93 win over the New York Liberty.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Minnesota Lynx’s playoff win over the Liberty just mentioned, Napheesa Collier compiled a massive 59.6 FanDuel points.
More recently, in Game 4 of the 2024 WNBA Finals two days ago, forward Napheesa Collier poured in 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and four steals in the Minnesota Lynx’s 82-80 win over the New York Liberty.
Considering the elevated importance of this evening’s Game 5 of the 2024 WNBA Finals game, I fully expect Napheesa Collier to continue her outstanding play on the basketball court. For that specific reason, I am backing talented Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA DFS Showdown contest.
New York forward Breanna Stewart was the driving force behind the New York Liberty’s offensive success this season. Stewart’s leadership helped the Liberty lock up the number one seed in the 2024 WNBA playoffs.
In the 38 games that New York forward Breanna Stewart played for the New York Liberty in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Stewart averaged a robust 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks a game.
Now that we have determined how Breanna Stewart played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, let’s shift our focus to the 2024 postseason. In the ten games that Stewart has played in the 2024 WNBA playoffs, Stewart has averaged a robust 37.3 FanDuel points a game.
Additional players I like to play well this evening (FanDuel price noted): Bridget Carlton, Forward (Minnesota Lynx) $7,000: Jonquel Jones, Guard (New York Liberty) $9,000: Sabrina Ionescu, Guard (New York Liberty) $8,500.

Here are my FanDuel picks for tonight’s Phoenix Mercury vs. Minnesota Lynx matchup.
Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier arrives at tonight’s WNBA playoff game with the Phoenix Mercury playing exceptional basketball from a statistical perspective. Let’s take a look at Collier’s recent game data to shed light on my previous statement.
In the 34 games that Napheesa Collier played for the Minnesota Lynx this season, talented Lynx forward Napheesa Collier averaged an impressive 20.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks a game.
I also like Napheesa Collier’s matchup this evening. Why? Collier draws a Phoenix Mercury team that has struggled on the defensive side of the basketball this season. Through 40 games played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Phoenix Mercury ranked ninth in total team defensive rating (105.4), 12th in defensive rebound percentage (67.4%), and 12th in total opponent second chance points allowed a game (12.8). Clearly, the defensive data just presented tells us that the Phoenix Mercury are not a good defensive basketball team. After all, numbers don’t lie.
These two teams met two days ago in the first game of this WNBA playoff series. Who prevailed? How did Naphessa Collier play in the game? In the Minnesota Lynx’s 102-95 victory over the Seattle Storm earlier this week, Collier tallied a robust 38 points, six rebounds, four assists, and two blocks.
In summary, I like Napheesa Collier’s chances of continuing to play quality basketball versus a vulnerable Phoenix Mercury defense later today. For that specific reason, I am backing Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA DFS contest.
How important has Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper been to this Phoenix Mercury team this season? Let’s review Kahleah Copper’s recent statistical game data to answer that question.
In the 37 games that the guard Kahleah Copper played for the Phoenix Mercury in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Kahleah Copper averaged a respectable 21.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.8 steals a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 37 games that Copper played for the Lynx this season, Copper averaged 29.3 FanDuel points a game.
Additional players I like to play well this evening (FanDuel price noted): Natasha Cloud, Guard (Phoenix Mercury) $9,000: Courtney Williams, Guard (Minnesota Lynx) $7,500: Alanna Smith, Forward (Minnesota Lynx) $7,000: Kayla McBride, Guard (Minnesota Lynx) $6,000: Sophie Cunningham, Guard (Phoenix Mercury) $5,500.

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.

Here are my FanDuel picks for tonight’s Los Angeles Sparks vs. Minnesota Lynx matchup.
Los Angeles forward Dearica Hamby has been the leader that the Los Angeles Sparks have needed to win games in 2024. Having stated that, how has Hamby been playing from an offensive standpoint this season?
In the 39 games that Los Angeles forward Dearica Hamby has played for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Hamby has averaged a whopping 17.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.7 steals a game.
More recently, in the Phoenix Mercury’s 85-81 win over the Los Angeles Sparks two days ago, Los Angeles forward Dearica Hamby compiled an impressive 21 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and two steals.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the Mercury’s victory over the Sparks just mentioned, Dearica Hamby tallied 38.8 FanDuel points.
It is noteworthy that the Minnesota Lynx will be at less than full strength tonight. Why? The Lynx have clinched the number two seed in the upcoming WNBA playoffs and do not need to win tonight’s final regular season game.
Earlier today, the Lynx announced that talented Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier and guard Kayla McBride would be inactive for this evening’s game. The absence of Napheesa Collier’s presence in the paint should allow Sparks forward Dearica Hamby to flourish from a fantasy perspective.
In conclusion, I think forward Dearica Hamby is the most likely player to post the most fantasy points in tonight’s WNBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing talented Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby at the MVP position for this one game WNBA FanDuel contest.
Lynx forward Alanna Smith has been an important part of this Minnesota Lynx team in 2024. In 38 games played for the Minnesota Lynx in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Smith is averaging 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.5 blocks a game.
I mentioned earlier in this article that talented Lynx forward Napheesa Collier has been officially ruled out of this evening’s contest with the Sparks due to injury. Collier’s absence should allow Minnesota forward Alanna Smith an opportunity to be more involved within the Minnesota offense tonight.
In my opinion, Alanna Smith’s low FanDuel price of only $7,000 presents the best fantasy value of any player on this WNBA one game slate.
Flex plays I like (FanDuel price noted): Rickea Jackson, Forward (Los Angeles Sparks) $8,000: Azura Stevens, Forward (Los Angeles Sparks) $7,000: Courtney Williams, Guard (Minnesota Lynx) $7,500.
