The Indiana Fever, led by star player Caitlin Clark, are drawing heavy betting action as the WNBA season prepares to open. According to BetMGM Sportsbook trader Hannah Luther, the team’s improved roster and competitiveness make them a top contender this year. The Fever are +300 at BetMGM to win the WNBA championship, behind defending champion New York at +225.
DraftKings Sportsbook also favors the Fever, with odds of +370 alongside the Aces and Lynx. Meanwhile, Minnesota is listed at +400. Luther noted that Clark’s star power and the team’s offseason moves have generated significant betting interest.
Other contenders like the Liberty (+225) and Aces (at +275) are favored to win the championship, but their odds have narrowed significantly compared to last season. Oddsmakers like DraftKings’ Johnny Avello and handicapper Dana Lane believe the Fever have a good chance of making a deep run in the playoffs.
Betting action is also pouring in on Clark to capture the league MVP award, with odds of +195 at BetMGM and +200 at DraftKings. However, if interest in Clark wanes, the league’s other teams may gain traction.
The Fever’s improved chances have made them a top contender, and their betting appeal has drawn significant attention from bettors. As the WNBA season approaches, fans will be eager to see which team emerges as the champion.
