WNBA Finals, MVP Odds on DraftKings Sportsbook: Who Leads the Race?

Meghan Townsley of DraftKings Network

In nearly six weeks of the WNBA’s 30th season, the league has delivered a litany of entertaining games, fierce competition, and buzzer-beating highlights. The Minnesota Lynx currently sit atop the standings with 12 wins, while the Aces and Liberty are right behind them with just four losses apiece. Plenty of players have also separated themselves from the pack, making the early MVP conversation polarizing.

Let’s look at the current WNBA odds to win the Finals as well as the favorites for the MVP award on DraftKings Sportsbook.

WNBA Finals

The Favorite: Minnesota Lynx (+280)

No Napheesa Collier? No problem! The Lynx have been absolutely rolling, winning 10 of their last 11 games and owning a ridiculous average point differential of +13.4 points. Olivia Miles, who I will discuss in more detail later, has exceeded any expectations of her rookie season, operating as a key floor general and the leading scorer for the Lynx. In the frontcourt, Natasha Howard has been an elite two-way player, averaging 17.6 PPG and 7.5 RPG while recording 1.7 steals per game. Defensively, four players are averaging over a steal per game, while the Lynx as a whole rank first in defensive efficiency (98.0) — oh, and they also rank first in offensive rating, by the way.

On Deck: Las Vegas Aces (+300)

The reigning champs and team of four-time MVP A’ja Wilson sit second in the standings at 11-4, most notably taking down the Finals-favorite Lynx last week by just three points. Wilson is a beast, there’s no denying that, but the depth the Aces have displayed this season is no joke. Five players are averaging double digits, while Chennedy Carter — who has been injured and dealing with illness lately — started the season red hot off the bench. With veteran Chelsea Gray’s elite playmaking, the offense operates well, but the defense hasn’t been up to championship standards. However, this team knows how to get hot at the right moment, if you remember its 16-0 run to close out the 2025 regular season.

In The Hole: New York Liberty (+320)

New York didn’t have a hot start to the season, losing four of its first seven games, but has since won eight straight. Despite star bucket-getter Sabrina Ionescu being sidelined for most of the season due to injury, the Liberty’s offense has stayed consistent, led by none other than Breanna Stewart. However, Marine Johannes and rookie Pauline Astier have been pleasant surprises, averaging 11+ points each, while Johannes contributes 1.1 steals per game. Sitting fourth in both offensive and defensive rating, the Liberty have the pieces to make a championship run, but they’ll need to avoid injuries and keep the momentum rolling.


WNBA MVP

The Favorite: A’ja Wilson (-200)

Shocker. The reigning MVP and four-time winner of the award is the current favorite to win it again, which could further cement her legacy among the all-time WNBA greats. Wilson isn’t just the engine that runs the Aces, she controls both ends of the floor and brings incredible competitiveness and grit that can change the course of a game. Averaging 26.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, the 29-year-old not only leads the league in scoring, but also in blocks (2.2), while owning the highest usage rate (31.5%). Wilson is a tough player to compete with, and if she continues on this path, she’ll have a strong case as the greatest of all time.

T-On Deck: Paige Bueckers (+700)

Bueckers has continuously improved her game throughout her sophomore season, playing more physically and efficiently. The guard is shooting an impressive 50.9% from the field and 40.9% from beyond the arc, a major jump from the 33.1% she shot from three during her rookie season. While she isn’t top 10 in scoring right now, her 18.6 points per game paired with 6.0 assists per game make her one of the most impactful players on the floor, powering the Wings to a 9-6 start in 2026.

T-On Deck: Cailtin Clark (+700)

You’ve heard this name before… Clark started the season off her game, which can be partly explained by her missing 290+ days of WNBA action due to injury last season, but she’s since returned to form. Clark is averaging 20.4 points and 8.3 assists per game while notching a handful of double-doubles. After drilling a game-winning buzzer-beater against the Mystics last Monday, Clark’s momentum has picked up and placed her comfortably in MVP conversations.

In The Hole: Olivia Miles (+1200)

Miles, the fan I am of you! Minnesota got a gem with the No. 2 overall pick, as Miles has operated as the Lynx’s starting point guard from the jump with no rookie jitters. She’s averaging 19.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting an incredibly efficient 56.6% from the field. In fact, Miles is coming off an explosive 31-point performance on 12-of-15 shooting, setting a WNBA rookie record with 24 points in the first half. If she continues to trend upward, Miles could become just the second rookie in WNBA history to win MVP, joining legend Candace Parker.
