Lynx Lead as Championship Favorites Following All-Star Break

Shane Thurston, BetMGM

Fresh off the 2026 WNBA All-Star Break, the Minnesota Lynx appear to be the team to beat this season. They are the clear betting favorites to win the WNBA championship at the BetMGM online sportsbook.

As of this writing, the Lynx are +110 to win the title. That gives them an implied probability of 47.62% with less than two months remaining in the regular season.

The Las Vegas Aces, who are the defending champions, remain the Lynx’s primary threat. The Aces are +350 to win the title after the break. The New York Liberty (+650) and Golden State Valkyries (+900) are the only other teams listed better than 12/1 at BetMGM.

Minnesota has been the betting favorite to win the title since late June, when it passed New York at the top of the market. The Liberty entered the season as championship favorites, while the Lynx had a +800 preseason value in this market.

The Aces began as the betting favorites in the initial WNBA championship odds market last October. They were briefly passed by the Lynx later in the offseason before Napheesa Collier had surgery on both ankles in January.

Collier didn’t return until the final game before the All-Star break, recording 24 points and 10 rebounds in her season debut. With Collier back to form a dynamic duo with rookie guard Olivia Miles, Minnesota can build on its 22-6 overall record.

In fact, BetMGM has updated win totals for all 15 teams, including the Lynx, who now have an over/under of 33.5. They entered the year with a win total of 25.5.

Coming out of the break, the Aces and Valkyries are the only other teams with totals above 30. Las Vegas, which is currently 18-8, has an over/under of 31.5. Golden State’s mark is 30.5 after taking a 19-8 clip into the break.

The Dallas Wings have an updated win total of 28.5, while the Atlanta Dream’s new over/under is 27.5. The Indiana Fever and Liberty both have a fresh win total of 26.5. The Washington Mystics (22.5) are the only other squad with a win total in the 20s

Rounding out the rest of the field are the Los Angeles Sparks (18.5), Phoenix Mercury (17.5), Portland Fire (16.5), Chicago Sky (16.5), Toronto Tempo (15.5), Connecticut Sun (11.5), and Seattle Storm (10.5).
