FanDuel Best WNBA DFS Picks: Liberty vs. Aces 10/6/24

Hans Geevers — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 13:41:17 +0000

The WNBA presents a second-round playoff matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty. Let’s take a look at this game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty 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 this afternoon’s Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty matchup.

MVP-Breanna Stewart, Forward, New York Liberty $9,500

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.

More recently, in the New York Liberty’s 83-69 playoff victory over the Atlanta Dream last week, New York forward Breanna Stewart played rather well. Stewart accumulated 20 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in the Liberty’s playoff win over the Dream.

It should be noted that these two teams met in Game 1 of this WNBA playoff series earlier this week. Who prevailed? How did Breanna Stewart perform in the game? In the New York Liberty’s 87-77 win over the Las Vegas Aces just mentioned, Stewart compiled 34 points, five rebounds, four assists, one block, and two steals.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Liberty’s defeat of the Las Vegas Aces two days ago, Breanna Stewart tallied a whopping 51.1 FanDuel points.

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 tomorrow night’s game.

In summary, I like Breanna Stewart’s chances of continuing to play quality basketball versus the Las Vegas Aces later tomorrow night. For that specific reason, I am backing New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel WNBA DFS contest.

Star-A’ja Wilson, Forward, Las Vegas Aces $10,000

In the Las Vegas Aces 91-82 series clinching victory over the Seattle Storm seven days ago, Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson certainly played at a high level. More specifically, A’ja Wilson compiled a massive 24 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in the Aces win over the Storm.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Aces playoff win over the Storm earlier this week, A’ja Wilson tallied 47.6 FanDuel points.

Flex Plays I like to play well (FanDuel price noted): Jonquel Jones, Forward (New York Liberty) $8,500: Sabrina Ionescu, Guard (New York Liberty) $9,000: Kelsey Plum, Guard (Las Vegas Aces) $7,000.

Sabrina Ionescu is averaging 20.4 points and 5.8 assists, while Breanna Stewart is averaging 20.2 points and 7 rebounds. Jonquel Jones is the third double-digit scorer, and Leonie Fiebich is dishing 1.4 assists.

Las Vegas Aces vs New York Liberty Prediction

The New York Liberty and free points are attractive because you don’t get them often, and they’re 3-1 ATS and 3-1 SU as an underdog this season. The Liberty have also won 5 of the last 6 games against the Aces, so I won’t panic just yet. With that said, the Aces have more pep in their step at home, and they’ve now won 12 straight home playoff games. The Aces were better with their ball pressure in game 3 and A’ja Wilson played damn near the entire game, only getting a rest when the game was comfortably led. If that continues, the Aces should be able to force a deciding game 5 in New York. I’ll lay the bucket.

The WNBA presents a second-round playoff matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game 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 New York Liberty vs. Las Vegas Aces matchup.

Draftkings WNBA Showdown Picks

Captain-A’ja Wilson, Forward, Las Vegas Aces $10,200

Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson arrives at this week’s WNBA playoff game with the New York Liberty playing exceptional basketball from a statistical perspective. Let’s take a look at Wilson’s game data from the regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

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.

Now that we identified how A’ja Wilson played in the regular season, let’s shift our focus to the 2024 WNBA playoffs. In the Las Vegas Aces 91-82 series clinching victory over the Seattle Storm nine days ago, Wilson certainly played at a high level. More specifically, A’ja Wilson compiled a massive 24 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in the Aces win over the Storm.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Aces playoff win over the Storm earlier this week, A’ja Wilson compiled 48.8 Draftkings points.

It is noteworthy that these two teams played two days ago in Game 2 of this WNBA playoff series. Who prevailed? How did Wilson perform in the game? In the New York Liberty’s 88-84 win over the New York Liberty in Game 2 of this WNBA semifinal series, A’ja Wilson compiled 24 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I need to see from a player that I select for the captain position.

It should also be noted that A’ja Wilson’s outstanding play on the basketball court in 2024 earned Wilson her third WNBA Most Valuable Player award. Clearly, the Las Vegas Aces forward is playing outstanding basketball entering Game 2 of this WNBA playoff series.

Considering the elevated importance of this playoff game, I fully expect A’ja Wilson to play at a high level on Friday night. For that specific reason, I am backing Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson at the captain position for this one game WNBA Draftkings contest.

Flex Plays I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Jonquel Jones, Forward (New York Liberty) $8,800: Sabrina Ionescu, Guard (New York Liberty) $9,200: Alysha Clark, Forward (Las Vegas Aces) $5,200.

The Las Vegas Aces look to even up the series at 1-1 after losing on Sunday. The Aces have won 5 of their last 7 road games. The Las Vegas Aces are averaging 76.7 points on 41.4 percent shooting and allowing 71.5 points on 37.8 percent shooting.

New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces Injury Report

New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction

The New York Liberty looked too comfortable in their game 1 win and have now won 4 straight games against the Aces and 6 of the last 8 games against them overall. The Liberty should be favored, and it’s getting hard to fade them. I still see value in the Aces and the points, as this is a veteran team that knows how to win playoff series, and they’re still 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog. Going back to last season, the Aces are 3-1 ATS as an underdog of 4 or more points. Give me the points with the Aces.

However, as I’ve said all year, the Aces are still the team to beat when they’re playing to their ability. Aces are playing their best ball of the season, and this will be just the third time this year they’re an underdog. The Aces are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog, which goes back to 2021. Eight of those 9 covers were outright wins. I like the Aces to win this series and the title, so I’m going to grab the points where I can get them. It’s that simple.

FanDuel Best WNBA DFS Picks: Storm vs. Aces 9/24/24

Hans Geevers — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 13:50:22 +0000

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

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.

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

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.

Randy Chambers — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:29:58 +0000

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.

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.

Las Vegas Aces vs Dallas Wings Prediction

It feels weird backing the Dallas Wings in the favorite role, especially with them having nothing to play for given they’ve been eliminated from the playoff race. The Wings play uninspired basketball and no effort defensively. However, despite still being eligible for the third seed, the Las Vegas Aces have already announced they could sit all of their key players. If all of the players listed above aren’t playing, the Wings should win this game. Of course, check the injury report before locking anything in.

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.

Las Vegas Aces vs Connecticut Sun Prediction

The Las Vegas Aces are always going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, and they are putting things together finally. However, the Connecticut Sun are too good to turn down free points, and you don’t get spots like this often. In fact, this is just the fifth time since July where the Sun are an underdog. The Sun aren’t flashy and don’t have the household names of other teams, but they’re consistent and have proven themselves on the road. I’m going to take a shot in the dark with the Sun and the free buckets just because they’re a threat to win each and every night.

You’d think the Indiana Fever will be better prepared given they just played the Aces on Wednesday, but that game resulted in an 11-point loss. The Aces and Fever have played 3 times this season, and every game has been a double-digit win for Las Vegas. With wins in 6 of their last 8 games, the Aces are showing signs of returning to the team we expect to see, and they need to keep it up to keep that fourth seed and home court in the first round. The Fever have to prove they can compete with the Aces. Until then, give me Vegas and the chalk.

Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces Prediction

The Indiana Fever have been one of the best teams over the last month, and you know the crowd will be out in full force for this one. The problem is, it looks like the Las Vegas Aces are getting their act together with wins in 5 of their last 7 games, and they’ve covered 5 straight games as well. The Aces and Fever have met twice this season, and both were 19 point wins for Las Vegas. I’d need an extra bucket or two to pull the trigger with the Fever. Give me the Aces and the small chalk.

The New York Liberty should be favored because they’ve been the better team this season, and they’re 12-2 SU at home. The Liberty have also won both games against the Aces this season. The Aces have been a bit underwhelming for the most part, but they’ve won their last 4 games, and we know what they’re capable of when they’re playing with confidence. You’re not going to get the Aces in the underdog role often. A Liberty win and cover wouldn’t be surprising. I’d still lean toward Vegas and the points.

Draftkings Best MLB DFS Picks: Diamondbacks vs. Giants 9/3/24

Hans Geevers — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 16:26:26 +0000

Major League Baseball presents a matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Francisco Giants. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a Draftkings perspective.

Prior to discussing the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

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 tonight’s Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants matchup.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Ryne Nelson, Starting Pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks $10,800

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three game National League series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Francisco Giants.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The San Francisco Giants arrive at tonight’s game with the Arizona Diamondbacks playing below average baseball. More specifically, the Giants have lost seven of the team’s last ten games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including a 5-0 shutout loss to the Colorado Rockies last week.

Similar to the San Francisco Giants, the Arizona Diamondbacks have not been playing quality baseball recently. The Diamondbacks have lost five of the team’s last seven games played this season, including an 8-6 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers four days ago.

Now that we have determined how both of the National League teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Arizona pitcher Ryne Nelson has been an important part of the Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has Nelson been playing from a statistical standpoint in the 2024 MLB regular season? Let’s review Nelson’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 25 games that Ryne Nelson has pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2024 MLB regular season, Nelson has posted a 4.22 ERA (Earned Run Average) and added 112 strikeouts while allowing 30 walks.

More recently, in the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-2 win over the Boston Red Sox ten days ago, Arizona starting pitcher Ryne Nelson pitched at a high level. Let me be more specific. Nelson pitched six quality innings striking out seven Red Sox batters while scattering five hits and one walk in the Diamondbacks victory over the Boston Red Sox. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I need to see from a player that I select for the captain position.

In conclusion, I am backing Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Kyle Harrison, Starting Pitcher (San Francisco Giants) $11,200: Corbin Carroll, Outfielder (Arizona Diamondbacks) $9,800: Josh Bell, First Baseman (Arizona Diamondbacks) $7,000: Matt Chapman, Third Baseman (San Francisco Giants) $9,200.
