The 2023 WNBA season starts next week, and the league’s futures odds show two clear favorites.
The reigning champion Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty are clear favorites, priced at +115 and +125 to win the championship respectively at FanDuel Sportsbook. They’ve held that post since the winter when both teams made shocking offseason moves with trades and free-agency pickups.
Three-time champion Candace Parker left the Chicago Sky to join the Aces to form a potent backcourt with A’ja Wilson. But New York made a shocking response by picking up forward Breanna Stewart from the Seattle Storm, point guard Courtney Vandersloot from the Chicago Sky and former Connecticut Sun forward Jonquel Jones.
If one of those teams should slip, there are sleeper teams that may surprise. The Phoenix Mercury welcomes Brittney Griner home to join the legendary Diana Taurasi, and though Skylar Diggins-Smith opened training camp on maternity leave, she may form a trio that can give the Aces trouble.
Here are the complete WNBA title odds from FanDuel Sportsbook:
Las Vegas Aces +115
New York Liberty +125
Washington Mystics +1400
Phoenix Mercury +2500
Dallas Wings +3500
Atlanta Dream +4000
Chicago Sky +4500
Connecticut Sun +4500
Minnesota Lynx +4500
Seattle Storm +5000
Los Angeles Sparks +6000
Indiana Fever +10000
