FanDuel Best WNBA DFS Picks: Sky vs. Dream 9/17/24

The WNBA presents a matchup between the Chicago Sky and Atlanta Dream. Let’s take a look at this game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Chicago Sky vs. Atlanta Dream 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 tomorrow night’s Chicago Sky vs. Atlanta Dream matchup.

FanDuel WNBA Player Selections

MVP-Chennedy Carter, Guard, Chicago Sky $8,500

Chicago guard Chennedy Carter has been a key contributor to the Chicago Sky’s success on the offensive side of the basketball this season Let’s review Carter’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 33 games played that Chennedy Carter has played for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Carter is averaging a robust 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 33 games that Chennedy Carter has played for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Carter averaged an impressive 28.5 FanDuel points a game.

More recently, in the Phoenix Mercury’s 93-88 win over the Chicago Sky two days ago, Chennedy Carter certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Carter accumulated 20 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in the Phoenix Mercury’s victory over the Sky.

It should be noted that talented Chicago forward Angel Reese has been officially ruled out for this game. I think the absence of Angel Reese within the Chicago Sky offense will provide additional opportunities for Chennedy Carter to prosper on the offensive end of the floor.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct MVP is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one Game FanDuel DFS WNBA contest.

In my opinion, Chicago guard Chennedy Carter is the most likely player to post the most fantasy points in tomorrow’s WNBA regular season contest. For that specific reason, I am backing Chennedy Carter at the MVP position for this one game MLB FanDuel DFS slate.

Star-Tina Charles, Forward, Atlanta Dream $9,000

Atlanta Dream forward Tina Charles arrives at tomorrow’s game with the Chicago Sky playing exceptional basketball from a statistical perspective. Let’s take a look at Charles recent game data to shed light on my previous statement.

In the 37 Games that Tina Charles has played in the 2024 WNBA regular season, Dream forward Tina Charles has averaged a whopping 15.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0,5 blocks a Game.
