2024 WNBA MVP odds: A'ja Wilson will likely win award; odds off board

The WNBA playoffs begin on Sept. 22, and now that the season is winding down, the MVP odds are off the board.

Before sportsbooks removed this market, Las Vegas star A'ja Wilson was the heavy favorite. Her odds to win the award had gotten as short as -5000 but had settled at -3500.

Let's dive into the odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of Sept. 3.

WNBA MVP ODDS:

A'ja Wilson, Aces: -3500 (bet $10 to win $10.29 total)
Napheesa Collier, Lynx: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)
Caitlin Clark, Fever: +7500 (bet $10 to win $760 total)
Sabrina Ionescu, Liberty: +15000 (bet $10 to win $1,510 total)
Breanna Stewart, Liberty: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total)

Currently, Wilson is averaging 26.9 points and 11.9 rebounds per game. And with a 26-13 record, she's helped her squad clinch a playoff berth.

At BetMGM, A'ja opened as the betting favorite at +175 to win the award. By late May, those odds had shortened to +100.

Another player whose odds bettors were watching was Indiana's Caitlin Clark.

The Fever rookie's MVP futures had moved to +7500 before the WNBA MVP market closed.

Clark is averaging 19.5 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds.

And the Fever, like Wilson's Aces, have clinched a spot in the postseason.

Despite Wilson closing as the huge favorite in oddsmakers' eyes, on an episode of "The Herd," Colin Cowherd explained the impact Caitlin Clark has had so far on the league.

"If you want to see the Caitlin Clark effect, here it is," he said. "Bad team, small market, and [Indiana is] worth more than the Los Angeles Sparks, the Dallas, Atlanta and Washington teams, and almost equal to a team in Chicago.

"Caitlin Clark, to some degree, is saving the WNBA. It's an incredibly harsh reality."
