The WNBA season has already provided a rollercoaster of emotions, and with the Paris Olympics causing a four-week hiatus, it's the perfect time to reflect on the surprises, standout performances, and what the future holds for this electrifying league.
The Las Vegas Aces’ journey from a rocky start to securing the 5th spot is nothing short of remarkable, thanks in no small part to A’ja Wilson's jaw-dropping average of 27.2 points and 12 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, over in the West, the Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm are neck and neck, vying for dominance, with the Lynx snagging the 3rd seed and the Storm not far behind.
Rookies have been making waves, too, raising the league's profile to new heights. Caitlin Clark, for instance, became the first rookie to notch a triple-double, propelling the Fever into a playoff position. Not to be outdone, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky set a new league record with 15 consecutive double-doubles, showcasing the depth of talent this season.
The New York Liberty, led by the dynamic duo of Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart, sit atop the Eastern Conference and the league, eyeing another Finals appearance. However, the Connecticut Sun, powered by DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas, are hot on their heels, making the race for the top spot all the more thrilling.
The Seattle Storm, bolstered by the addition of Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith, are a force to be reckoned with. With a current record of 17-8 and 15 games left, they are poised to dominate the West. Critical matchups against the Dream and Mystics present winnable opportunities, while securing a victory against either the Liberty or Sun could solidify their top position. Betting on Seattle to exceed 26.5 wins seems like a smart move, promising a lucrative payout.
Turning our gaze to the Finals, the Connecticut Sun stand out as a tantalizing option. Priced at +800, their value is undeniable, especially considering their proximity to the league-leading Liberty. The Sun, with something to prove after last year's Conference Finals loss, have the talent and determination to go all the way, making them an enticing pick for the championship.
