Draftkings Best Showdown Picks: 2024 WNBA All Star Game 7/20/24

The WNBA presents a matchup between the Team USA All Stars and the Team WNBA All Stars. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into tonight’s matchup between Team USA and Team WNBA 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 2024 WNBA All Star Game.

WNBA Draftkings All Star Game Picks

Captain-Caitlin Clark, Guard, Team WNBA $8,600

Indiana Fever rookie point guard Caitlin Clark has wasted little time showing basketball fans that she belongs in the WNBA. Having stated that, how is Clark playing from a statistical perspective?

In the 26 games that Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has played for the Fever this season, Indiana point guard Caitlin Clark is averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 26 games that Caitlin Clark has played for the Indiana Fever this season, Clark has accumulated a whopping 40.5 Draftkings points a game.

More recently, in the Dallas Wings 101-93 defeat of the Indiana Fever three days ago, Caitlin Clark played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Clark accumulated a robust 24 points, four rebounds, and 19 assists in the Indiana Fever’s loss to the Wings.

Flex Plays

A’ja Wilson, Forward, Team USA $9,400

Talented Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson has been the presence in the paint that the Las Vegas Aces have needed to win Games this season. Having stated that, how has Wilson been playing from an offensive standpoint in 2024?

In the 23 games that Las Vegas forward A’ja Wilson has played for the Las Vegas Aces in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Wilson averaged 27.2 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.9 blocks a game.

I fully expect A’ja Wilson to play at a high level in tonight’s 2024 WNBA All Star Game.

Arike Ogunbowale, Guard, Team WNBA $7,800

Dallas guard Arike Ogunbowale has been the leader in the backcourt that the Dallas Wings have needed to win Games this season. Having stated that, how has Ogunbowale been playing from an offensive standpoint? Let’s review Arike Ogunbowale’s recent Game data to answer that question.

In 24 games played for the Dallas Wings in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Arike Ogunbowale averaged 22.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.7 steals a game.
