The Fever’s selection of Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft on Monday, adding her to a lineup featuring reigning Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston, saw Indiana climb into the top half of the league in the eyes of oddsmakers.

Though the Fever finished 10th in the 12-team league last year with a 13-27 record, they have the fifth-shortest odds for the 2024 championship at both FanDuel and DraftKings at +2000. bet365 has Indiana at +1800, tied for the fifth-best odds.

The two-time defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces are an even-money favorite at FanDuel and DraftKings while sitting at +110 at bet365. The New York Liberty, who lost to Las Vegas in last year’s WNBA Finals, are the second choice at all three books (+250 at DraftKings and bet365, +230 at FanDuel).

Next are the Seattle Storm, who are +1000 at FanDuel and bet365 but come in behind the Connecticut Sun (+1000) at +1400 on DraftKings. Connecticut is +1100 on bet365, +1200 on FanDuel.

The Chicago Sky, who added South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso and LSU’s Angel Reese with the third and seventh overall picks, respectively, on Monday, rank at or near the bottom with odds of +5000 at Bet365, +8500 at FanDuel. DraftKings has Chicago listed at +8000, tied for the second-longest odds.

FanDuel lists Clark as an overwhelming favorite (-950) to win WNBA Rookie of the Year. The No. 2 overall pick, the Los Angeles Sparks’ Cameron Brink, is second at +1900, followed by Cardoso (+2200), the Washington Mystics’ Aaliyah Edwards (+3200) and Reese (+3200).

Clark is the fourth choice on the board for WNBA Most Valuable Player at +1200 over at FanDuel. She comes in behind the Aces’ A’ja Wilson (+160), the Liberty’s Breanna Stewart (+550) and the Sun’s Alyssa Thomas (+1000). Stewart captured her second MVP honor last year, and Wilson is also a two-time winner.

DraftKings has Clark at +1400 for MVP, with Wilson (+150) as the favorite.
