🏀 WNBA MVP rankings after just four days of games 🏀

The Sun are undefeated, the Mystics knocked off the Liberty with ease, the Aces dominated their opener and the Sky won their opening two games as well.

There’s a whole lot of basketball to go, and it’ll fun to look back at this list in a few months, but for now, let’s get into who we think would win MVP if for some reason the league decided to hand out the trophy today.

Note: team records were factored into these rankings. Another note: don’t take this too seriously please, it has been FOUR DAYS OF GAMES.

Ok.

My top-10 as of May 25

1. Alyssa Thomas (+900, bet $10 to win $90) — 18 points, 12.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists

The Sun are undefeated, largely because their star forward has dictated the tempo on both ends. Two wins over the Mystics — a championship hopeful team — were massive.

2. Breanna Stewart +200 — 28.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists

Did you see her 45-point game?

3. Elena Delle Donne +600 — 19.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists

Had the Mystics at least split games with Connecticut, Delle Donne would probably have been No. 1. It’s so early and these rankings are silly given the timeframe lol. She’s a legit contender.

4. Kelsey Plum +900 — 23 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists

The Aces have only played one game but I’m giving the edge to Plum for MVP based on her 50/60/80 shooting splits lol.

5. Brittney Griner +1200 — 22.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 blocks

Griner is the only top-10 representative without a win this season, but she makes this list because of how dominant she’s been. If Phoenix racks up W’s, she’ll climb.

6. A’ja Wilson +380 — 13.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist

This ranking will look foolish in no time, but I’ve only got the one game to base it on!

7. DeWanna Bonner +10000 — 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists

Connecticut’s offensive prowess doesn’t happen without a scoring-minded wing like Bonner running the show.

8. Jackie Young +10000 — 23.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists

The Aces scored 100+. Several of their players are on this list for good reason!

9. Satou Sabally (unlisted on FanDuel) — 25.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists

It’s been just one game for the Wings, too, but Sabally looked brilliant in the win over the Dream.

 10. Kahleah Copper +6000 — 17.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists

The Sky are 2-0 and the Finals MVP looks comfy as the centerpiece.

Just outside

11. Napheesa Collier +6000 — 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists

12. Allisha Gray (unlisted on FanDuel) — 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists

13. Nneka Ogwumike +6000 — 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists

14. Arike Ogunbowale +2900 — 27.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist

15. Jewell Loyd +10000 — 22.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists

🏆 WNBA championship odds are up 🏆

After just four days of games, the lines haven’t moved too far.

The Aces still lead the way at +120 (bet $10 to win $12) to win the 2023 title, followed by the Liberty +140. The Mystics remain a distant third at +1000 while the Sun, despite beating D.C. twice in a row to open the year, are fourth at +2100.
