WNBA MVP odds for 2025: Minnesota Lynx's Napheesa Collier tops list
As the WNBA season progresses, the WNBA MVP race is intensifying, with Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier currently leading in odds. The competition has seen some surprising developments, as three-time MVP A'ja Wilson, of the Las Vegas Aces, has fallen from the top perch.

However, since the regular season has continued, Wilson has dropped significantly in the current MVP odds. Collier now leads the updated odds with -275, while Indiana Fever's star Caitlin Clark is in clear second place with +200 odds. New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart sits at a distance in third place, with odds at +4000.

Stephanie White Reveals Good News for Caitlin Clark After Roster Decision
Stephanie White Reveals Good News for Caitlin Clark After Roster Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are heading in the right direction, building one of the best rosters in the WNBA under head coach Stephanie White. Advertisement In White's first year back with the organization, she's joined by Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham. The Fever also had future Hall of Fame forward DeWanna Bonner rostered, but they recently released the first-year Indiana player. Bonner requested a trade and wound up being waived, leading Indiana to sign Aari McDonald, who played with Fever earlier this month on a hardship contract. After signing McDonald, White spoke with the media, sharing her thoughts on the addition of the talented guard. When explaining that she's excited to have McDonald back in the lineup, White mentioned that the move gives Indiana a chance to take some pressure off Caitlin Clark and lets the Fever star play off the ball, giving her more scoring opportunities. Advertisement "Really excited about having Aari back," White said. "Her pedigree, her ability to have the ball in her hands and make plays, not just for herself but for her teammates and the tone that she sets on the defensive end of the floor. When we get C back it gives us the ability to play C off the ball a little bit, take some pressure off of her."

While she was signed to a hardship contract with the Fever, McDonald posted 11.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. She will be backing up one of the top guards in the WNBA.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Napheesa Collier scored 26 points and the Minnesota Lynx successfully challenged two foul calls in the last minute of overtime to beat Atlanta 96-92 on Friday night in a game that saw the Dream rally after a weather-related delay in the second quarter. The Lynx were up 92-90 when challenges reversed foul calls on Atlanta drives with 54.8 and 20.5 seconds to go. Kayla McBride then made four free throws in the last 17.5 seconds to secure the win. Advertisement McBride scored 18 points for the Lynx to surpass 5,000 for her career. Courtney Williams added 16 points and Bridget Carleton 14. Minnesota made 13 3-pointers and 17 of 18 free throws.

FEVER 94, WINGS 86 DALLAS (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell scored 32 points, and Indiana held on without the injured Caitlin Clark, taking a 22-point lead in the first quarter before finishing off a victory over Dallas. Advertisement Clark's left groin injury spoiled what was supposed to be the first meeting of the past two No. 1 picks in the WNBA draft. The game was the first at the home of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks for the Wings, who took Paige Bueckers first overall this year. The Wings, who are planning a move to downtown Dallas in the next couple of years, have played about 20 miles away on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington since moving to the area nine years ago. Bueckers sparked a rally by beating the first-half buzzer with a long 3-pointer after a steal and finished with 27 points despite a cold start from the field. The Wings took a lead in the fourth quarter after trailing by 23 in the first half, but couldn't overcome 26% shooting in the first 10 minutes. Arike Ogunbowale scored 15 for Dallas. Advertisement Aliyah Boston scored 21 points and Natasha Howard had 15 points and 13 rebounds and three steals for the Fever, who made all 11 of their shots from inside the 3-point arc in the first quarter and shot 59% for the game.

Thornton made her fourth 3-pointer with two minutes remaining to give Golden State (7-8) a 78-70 lead. But Chicago (4-11) scored the next four points, the last when Angel Reese grabbed an offensive rebound and scored with 1:11 left.
