The WNBA season has arrived and the best in women’s basketball are set to do battle this season across North America. With that in mind, MyBookie has offered some preliminary betting markets on who will take home the award for Most Valuable Player (MVP) during the 2024 WNBA season. Per the website, MyBookie has tabbed the Las Vegas Aces’ A’Ja Wilson (-105) as the top favorite to win the award this season. Wilson of course is a two-time WNBA MVP, winning the award in 2020 and also 2022. Moreover, the five-time WNBA All-Star is also coming off back-to-back WNBA titles with the Aces notching the crown in 2022 and 2023.
In this report, SBS will be going over the latest updates coming from MyBookie along with additional notes and info regarding the outlet.
Per the same rundown from MyBookie, the Seattle Storm’s Breanna Stewart is recognized as the second most likely MVP favorite for this season at +750. Like Wilson, she is an extremely accomplished player who is also a two-time WNBA MVP, most recently in 2023. Also a five-time WNBA All-Star, she was the WNBA scoring leader in 2022 and the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2016. A four-time national champion at UConn, Stewart is considered one of the best players in WNBA history as evidenced by her inclusion in The W25 as one of the top 25 players of the WNBA’s first 25 years. Indeed, she certainly has the resume and prowess to make a run at a history-making third MVP this season if things break right.
Meanwhile, Alyssa Thomas is recognized as the third-most likely contender to win the coveted title at +750. Starring for the Connecticut Sun, the former Maryland Terrapin is a fantastic player who is a four-time WNBA All-Star, most recently back-to-back in 2022 and 2023. She has been recognized as an All-Defensive First Team performer as well, most recently in 2023, and is the all-time leader for the Maryland Terrapins in points, rebounds, and double-doubles. Moreover, she is an extremely accomplished and versatile threat with twelve career triple-doubles.
Conversely, Wilson still has perhaps the most impressive accolades of any player on the list. She won her first WNBA Finals MVP in 2023 as well as her first Olympic Gold medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics. In 2022, she helped lead the Aces to their first title in franchise history, a feat she repeated last year.
Perhaps the most intriguing prospect on this list is college superstar, Caitlin Clark at +2400. After a stellar career at Iowa, she was selected first overall by the Fever in the 2024 WNBA draft. Clark is the NCAA Division I all-time women’s leading scorer and is a two-time national player of the year with the Hawkeyes. Not only is she the women’s Division I career and single-season leader in points, but she also holds the record for three-pointers. Moreover, she broke the all-time Big Ten Conference record in assists, while leading the nation in both points and assists. Clark revolutionized the world of name, image, and likeness (NIL) in college and is perhaps in a position to become the next big star in the league if she can get the same kind of production she had at Iowa.
While Clark is the highest-rated rookie per MyBookie, there is also a whole other betting market the site has for 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. As of this article’s writing, Clark is the odds-on favorite to win this award at -725 and could certainly make it happen if she replicates even a portion of his production. That said, she will face some strong competition from the likes of Cameron Brink (+1000) and Angel Reese (+2600). Both are NCAA champions and have notched the title as national player of the year while also being potential saviors for their respective teams.
Per the main MyBookie report, the Las Vegas Ace is a fantastic player and the odds-on favorite for a reason. The all-time leading scorer in South Carolina women’s basketball history, she is a three-time All-American selection in collegiate basketball. In addition to her accolades, the power forward is also just 27 years of age this season and is in the prime of her career. Last season, she started all 40 games and scored 22.8 points per game, along with 9.5 rebounds per contest. With a 55.7% field goal percentage, she is a hyper-efficient player and a force in the league.
