The 2025 WNBA season is just a few weeks away, and the latest MVP odds feature two clear favorites:

A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark.

Wilson, the reigning league MVP, put together an unreal season in 2024, averaging 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game to win her third MVP award. She’s now taken home the hardware in three of the last five seasons, finishing in the top three in MVP voting four times during that stretch.

Clark won the Rookie of the Year award in the 2024 season and finished fourth in the league’s MVP voting after taking the Fever to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

Can she usurp Wilson and win the first MVP of her career in the 2025 season?

A’ja Wilson Favored to Win Back-to-Back MVPs

There’s no doubt that Wilson deserves to be favored in this market given her five-year run of dominance in the W, but she’s facing a bit of an uphill battle to win MVP this season. Can she outdo her historic 2024 season?

It’s going to be tough, especially now that the Aces brought in a high-volume shooter in Jewell Loyd in a trade this offseason. While Wilson is still the focal point of the offense, her numbers may take a hit with Loyd in the fold.

The Aces are expected to be one of the better teams in the WNBA once again in 2025, which should boost Wilson’s chances, but I’d like to see what her role/numbers look like with Loyd in the lineup before betting her at such a short price.

Will Caitlin Clark Win First WNBA MVP?

Oddsmakers are bullish on Clark to get into the mix for the league’s MVP award this season after she averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game as a rookie.

Clark led the Fever to a 20-win season, and Indiana added more talent to the roster in Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bonner, Sophie Cunningham, and Sydney Colson in the offseason. This squad is set up to thrive with Clark running the show.

If there’s an indicator that Clark could take a jump in her second season, it’s her numbers after the Olympic break last season. In 14 games, Clark averaged 23.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 37.0 percent from 3.

For the season, she shot just 41.7 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from 3. So, if Clark’s efficiency jumps in her second season, she’ll likely build on her scoring numbers in a big way.

Paige Bueckers WNBA MVP Odds Have Value

Is there an argument for betting No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers to win the league’s MVP award?

Bueckers is walking into a similar situation that Clark did last season, as she is joining a Dallas team that won just nine games in 2024.

Now, the Wings have some talent – led by Arike Ogunbowale – that could help them get back into the playoff mix this season. After all, they did win 22 games in the 2023 campaign. 

I’m not going to advocate that Bueckers will win the MVP, but at this price, she could be worth a look. Clark transformed Indiana's franchise in her first season, and I believe Bueckers is in the same realm talent-wise. 

If the Wings make a push from nine wins into the 20s, Bueckers’ price in this market could shrink considerably, just like Clark’s did in the 2024 season. When it comes to a dart throw, this is one of my favorite bets on the board.
