2025 WNBA MVP Race

Current Leader: Napheesa Collier (-275)

Napheesa Collier has emerged as the heavy favorite to win the MVP award this season. The Lynx, last season's WNBA Finals runner-up, are tied with the defending champion Liberty for the best record in the league. Collier, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, leads the WNBA in scoring with 26.8 PPG and ranks in the top 10 in rebounding, blocks, and steals.

In the Hunt: Caitlin Clark (+400)

Despite her recent injury, Caitlin Clark remains a strong contender for the MVP title. The initial estimate suggests she will be out for at least two weeks, missing roughly 10-15% of the season. However, her impressive stats, including leading the league with 9.3 APG, keep her in the race.

Best Value: A'ja Wilson (+1000)

A'ja Wilson, the three-time and reigning WNBA MVP, offers the best value on the board at +1000. Despite a slow start, she leads the league in blocks and ranks in the top 5 in scoring and rebounds.

Longshots to Watch

Breanna Stewart (+6000), Kelsey Plum (+6000), and Alyssa Thomas (10,000) are longshots with potential. Jonquel Jones, though not listed on the odds board, is making a strong case with her performance for the Liberty.

2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year Race

Current Leader: Paige Bueckers (-700)

Paige Bueckers is the overwhelming favorite for Rookie of the Year. The No. 1 overall pick is leading all rookies in assists and is second in scoring, steals, and blocks.

In the Hunt: Sonia Citron (+800)

Sonia Citron, the third overall pick, is off to a strong start, leading all rookies with 15.0 PPG. Her performance, along with Kiki Iriafen, has helped the Mystics maintain a .500 record.

Longshots of Interest

Janelle Salaun (+1500) and Kiki Iriafen (+1800) are notable longshots. Salaun, undrafted in 2025, leads all rookies in 3-pointers made, while Iriafen is the only rookie averaging a double-double.

Betting Insights

While Bueckers is the favorite, injuries could quickly change the race. Citron, Iriafen, and Salaun are each putting together impressive rookie seasons that could challenge Bueckers. Given the current odds, Iriafen offers the best value at 18-1.
