New york liberty favored to win 2025 wNBA Championship
This Liberty group hasn't budged much with the core three of Breanna Stewart, a top five point scorer, Sabrina Ionescu, one of the best three point shooters in the game, and Jonquel Jones all returning to the Big Apple. The defending champs were active during the offseason, trading Courtney Vandersloot in exchange for Connecticut's Natasha Cloud, whose 6.9 assists per game was the third-best mark in the league last season. Similar to Vandersloot, the 33-year-old is a playmaker, but a tad younger while also still managing 11.9 points in 2024.
The Liberty were unstoppable last season, ranking second in the WNBA in offense (85.6 PPG) and top-three in defense (76.8 PPG). With minimal changes and Cloud's addition strengthening the team, it’s clear why oddsmakers have them as favorites for the 2025 season.
las Vegas Aces make blockbuster trade in hopes to reclaim WNBA Title
The trade of the offseason belongs to the Aces. Kelsey Plum, a three-time WNBA All-Star, is heading to Seattle, while Jewell Loyd, the 2023 points leader and a six-time All-Star, is making her way to Las Vegas.
The defense is what killed the Aces majority of last year, once allowing the second-worst 36.3% from the perimeter. Bringing in Loyd to compliment Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young should bridge that gap in the backcourt.
A'ja Wilson is still the most lethal lady in the league. After securing her third WNBA MVP Award in the last five seasons, she led the league in points (26.9) and blocks (2.9) last year. Las Vegas definitely improved in the offseason, which is a scary thought given that they’ve already established themselves as a modern-era dynasty.

How To Read WNBA Championship Odds
At an online sportsbook that would list WNBA championship odds, they would look similar to this:
- Las Vegas Aces -250
- Chicago Sky +330
- Connecticut Sun +500
The minus sign (-) indicates which team is the favorite. In this case, it’s the Las Vegas Aces at -250. Every other team that’s listed is considered an underdog.
If you believe the Aces will win the WNBA championship and you bet $100 and it happens, you would win $140 – your $100 is returned and you would gain $40 in profit.
