The Minnesota Lynx continue to impress without superstar Napheesa Collier, so much so that bookmakers have made them the standalone +250 favorites to win the 2026 WNBA Finals, an improvement from the +300 they showed a week prior. The Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty are tied at +300 in second place.

One of the biggest risers of the season thus far has been the Golden State Valkyries, who entered the top five this week at 13-1 after a big win over New York on Sunday. The Valks began the campaign at 45-1 after shocking the league by making the playoffs as an expansion team last season.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Wings and Indiana Fever, who were both 14-1 a week prior, saw their odds lengthen to 16-1 and 17-1, respectively. Caitlin Clark and the Fever were a third-best +450 for the WNBA title entering the season.
