WNBA Bullies PANIC As Caitlin Clark LEADS 2025 MVP Race!
THIS is HUGE! Caitlin Clark of WNBA Indiana Fever should’ve walked into 2025 as the clear MVP frontrunner. But the media? Oh no. They clung to their comfort blanket – A’Ja Wilson of WNBA Las Vegas Aces. Same name, same narrative. And when it wasn’t A’Ja, they’d pivot to excuses faster than Angel Reese of WNBa Chicago Sky on a missed layup.

With the 2025 WNBA season around the corner, sportsbooks have already been setting the field for this year’s MVP race, with odds heavily slanted toward three early frontrunners.
Last season’s Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark leads the 2025 race, with FanDuel currently placing the Indiana Fever guard at +200, followed closely by Las Vegas’s three-time league MVP A’ja Wilson (+230), and Minnesota’s 2024 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier (+300).
DraftKings rates Clark similarly at +220, putting Wilson at +225 and Collier at +400.
After a blockbuster rookie season, opinions on Clark’s sophomore ceiling vary, with ESPN ranking the 23-year-old as the WNBA’s overall fourth-best player entering the 2025 season, trailing just Wilson, Collier, and New York’s 2023 MVP and 2024 champion Breanna Stewart.
However, the media giant’s own ESPN BET has Clark leading the MVP odds at +200, a likely response to bettor interest rather than analyst predictions.
Dallas’s 2025 No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers is the clear favorite for this season’s Rookie of the Year award, carrying -255 odds on ESPN BET despite not making the overall preseason Top 25.
There’s no such thing as a sure bet, but the market is clearly mirroring fan interest, hyping up these young players before a single team takes the 2025 season’s court.
