The top three names on this list are all former WNBA MVP winners, with A’ja Wilson, the second choice currently at, as the reigning winner. Delle Donne, Wilson and Candace Parker are the only three players on the list with multiple league MVP’s.
Over the next month, Delle Donne and the Mystics will have a couple of nationally televised games that will allow the former MVP to make a strong claim for a third MVP award this season. If she keeps up her high level play, the gap between Stewart and Delle Donne could continue to shrink.Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale has been on a tear to start the season, averaging 25 points per game and off to a surprising 3-1 start this season, including Tuesday’s narrow win over the Minnesota Lynx.
While Ogunbowale’s odds are trending down, New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu’s odds are in the opposite direction, moving from 8/1 before the season started, to now 15/1. Partly due to her teammate, Breanna Stewart, having a terrific start to the season, Ionescu is gotten off the a slow start through four games, averaging 16 points and shooting 38 percent from the field.
