2024 WNBA Champions Picks & Best Bets

las Vegas Aces (+105)

The Las Vegas Aces have been an absolute wagon, aiming for a three-peat this season. The Aces dropped a single matchup in the postseason and were barely threatened all year, finishing with a 34-6 record. 

It's a lethal lineup when you have to face A'ja Wilson (22.8 PPG), last season's finals MVP, Kelsey Plum (18.7 PPG), Jackie Young (17.6 PPG) and Chelsea Gray (15.3 PPG). 

The Aces don't know what it's like to trail. The bench is full of MVP candidates and continues to thrive as far as I'm concerned. 

New York Liberty (+280)

The Liberty are the only team which has proven they can touch the Aces, defeating them four times last year and making history picking up over 30 wins. 

New York stands on Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.  Though both are in the free agency realm, it's assumed the ladies will return to finish what they've started. 

It's hard not to believe this WNBA season will continue to be a two-team race between the Liberty and Aces. 

WNBA Championship Value Pick: Indiana Fever (+1800)

A few weeks ago, when Indiana's odds were +3000, I said that this pick comes with a stipulation -- Caitlin Clark. The Iowa Hawkeyes guard, who just broke the all-time WNCAAB scoring record previously held by Kelsey Plum, has officially announced she will declare for the draft this year.

It'll be the second-straight season Indiana will have the first-overall pick. Last year they snagged Aliyah Boston, last season's Rookie Of The Year. Boston playing alongside Clark, a generational talent currently averaging 32.4 PPG, is insane. The Iowa native, who also recorded a career-high 49-point night while shattering the college basketball record, will make an immediate impact.

Over 26 seasons, the Minnesota Lynx, Houston Comets, and Seattle Storm each have four championships to tie for the most in the league. Four other franchises have won the title multiple times: the Los Angeles Sparks (3), Phoenix Mercury (3), Dallas Wings (3) and Las Vegas Aces (2).

How To Read WNBA Championship Odds

At an online sportsbook that would list WNBA championship odds, they would look similar to this:

  • Las Vegas Aces -250
  • Chicago Sky +330
  • Connecticut Sun +500

The minus sign (-) indicates which team is the favorite. In this case, it’s the Las Vegas Aces at -250. Every other team that’s listed is considered an underdog.

If you believe the Aces will win the WNBA championship and you bet $100 and it happens, you would win $140 – your $100 is returned and you would gain $40 in profit.
