Don’t blink—WNBA All-Star weekend will be here before you know it. With just 3.5 weeks of action left before the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, July 19, now is the perfect time to dive in. Rookies are making their mark (looking at you, Sonia Citron), and history is being made—A’ja Wilson just became the fastest player in league history to reach 5,000 points!

Also, on Tuesday, June 24, DraftKings Sportsbook launched its inaugural “Queen of the Court” promo, where bettors can place wagers on which player will tally the most combined points, rebounds, and assists in a game. Aliyah Boston rose to the occasion against the Seattle Storm, earning the crown as our first-ever Queen of the Court! DraftKings Network will be tracking all the Queen of the Court moments throughout the season, as well as covering daily WNBA picks and previews.

Let’s take a look at the latest WNBA odds for MVP and Finals Winner, and I’ll share my top betting picks for Friday’s slate of games on DraftKings Sportsbook.

MVP Odds Tracker

The Favorite: Napheesa Collier (-300)

Napheesa Collier’s MVP odds have surged—and for good reason. Even while sidelined with a back injury sustained on June 17, her dominance is undeniable. She’s missed the last two games, one of which handed the Lynx just their second loss of the season. But before the setback, Collier was nearly unstoppable, torching defenses with 25.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game over her last five outings. Despite the pause, she still leads the league in scoring at 24.4 points per game, cementing her case as the early MVP frontrunner.

Caitlin Clark (+275)

Clark’s sophomore campaign has been hampered by injuries. After missing two weeks in May with a left quadriceps strain, she’s now dealing with a groin issue and will sit out Thursday’s game against the Sparks. She’s listed as day-to-day, which could impact her MVP odds the longer she’s sidelined. That said, Clark continues to facilitate at a high level—she’s tied with Alyssa Thomas for the league lead in assists per game (8.9) and is averaging 18.2 PPG. However, defenses have started to adjust, limiting her deep shooting; she’s gone 0-7, 1-10, and 0-6 from beyond the arc in her last three outings. While Collier appears to be pulling ahead, there’s still a long road to the finish.

Breanna Stewart (+2200)

Stewart has officially entered the conversation. As of May 27, reigning MVP A’ja Wilson held the third-shortest odds position, but Stewart’s rise to +2200 underscores her steady performance. Over her last 10 games, the 30-year-old is averaging 21.7 points while shooting an efficient 51.9% from the field. With Sabrina Ionescu struggling—which I’ll dive into later—Stewart has taken command for New York and shown she’s more than capable of making a serious MVP push.

2025 WNBA Finals Winner

The Favorite: NY Liberty (+125)

The reigning champs remain the favorites to go back-to-back. Entering the season with +225 odds to win it all, the New York Liberty have only strengthened their case. They lead the league in offensive rating (108.3), points per game (88.3), and net rating (13.9). Even more impressive? They boast two players averaging over 20 points per game—no surprise, it’s Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu. The addition of Natasha Cloud has also paid off in a big way, bringing elite perimeter defense, team-leading assist numbers, and trailing Ionescu in steals by just 0.2 per game. They face a surging Mercury squad tonight—a great test for the defending champs.

MIN Lynx (+270)

Minnesota, however, is hungry. Despite Napheesa Collier missing the last two games, the Lynx have maintained the league’s best defensive rating and held each of their last three opponents under 70 points. In her absence, others have stepped up in a big way—Kayla McBride dropped 29 points against the Sparks, and Alanna Smith put up 26 in a hard-fought loss to Washington. Once Collier returns to full strength, expect these odds to tighten and Minnesota to be right in the thick of the title race.

 Weekend Preview

Chicago Sky at Golden State Valkyries, 10 p.m. ET

In their inaugural season, the Valkyries have proven they belong in the W—especially on their home court. Golden State is 5-3 at home and will look to make it 6-3 as they host a Sky team fresh off a 97–86 win over the Sparks. Angel Reese dominated with 18 points and 17 rebounds, while rookie Kamilla Cardoso poured in a career-high 27; however, Cardoso will be unavailable, stepping away to represent Brazil in international play. With her out, Ariel Atkins’ points prop is worth watching as she takes on more of the offensive load for a Sky squad already struggling with ball security—they rank 12th in assist-to-turnover ratio and last in turnover percentage.

Golden State, meanwhile, has hit its stride defensively. The Valkyries are holding opponents to just 77.4 points per game, rank 4th in defensive rating (98.5), and average 8.4 steals—making them a tough matchup for turnover-prone teams. With a defensive edge and home-court momentum, the Valks offer solid value on both the spread and moneyline, and the under could be in play if they control the tempo.

Lean: Valkyries ML

PICK: Chicago Sky +8.5 (-110)

New York Liberty at Phoenix Mercury, 10:00 p.m. ET

Sabrina Ionescu has been off her mark lately, primarily due to a lingering neck injury she’s been managing over the past week. The 27-year-old shot just 1-for-11 in her last outing, finishing with 11 points in a narrow three-point win over the Valkyries. However, what makes the reigning champs so dangerous is their depth. Breanna Stewart posted 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Kennedy Burke came off the bench to add 20. New York continues to lead the league in both points per game (88.3) and offensive rating (108.5)—making them a tough team to fade most nights.

Next up? A red-hot Mercury squad riding a five-game win streak. In their last time meeting, Phoenix handed the Liberty a rare loss—an 89–81 victory powered by 21 points from Monique Akoa Makani, even as Stewart dropped 35 in the effort. Friday’s match promises to be a battle of the big dawgs: Satou Sabally is averaging 19.3 points on 39.3% shooting for Phoenix, while Stewart has put up 21.7 PPG over her last 10 games. Meanwhile, Alyssa Thomas remains tied with Caitlin Clark for the league lead in assists per game (8.9), with Natasha Cloud trailing behind at 6.5 APG for New York.

With Ionescu struggling to find her form and the Mercury on a tear right now, I’m siding with the latter in this close battle between two of the top teams in the league.

Lean: Mercury ML
