The WNBA Draft was the talk of the sports world Monday, as all 12 teams had cause for excitement adding new players to their roster and everyone improving.
With Caitlin Clark going No. 1 — as expected — to the Indiana Fever, their WNBA Finals odds got quite the boost for the upcoming season.
Last year, the Fever opened 110/1 to win the WNBA Finals. They now enter the 2024 season at 35/1 on FanDuel Sportsbook, a nice increase in probability with the addition of Clark.
The Fever have the seventh-best odds to win the title, with the Aces, Liberty, Storm, Sun, Wings and Mercury ahead of them.
The first two are the clear favorites, as the Aces (+100) are the reigning back-to-back champions, and the Liberty (+230) falling just short in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals.

Way down the odds board, you’ll see the Los Angeles Sparks, who picked No. 2 and are tied for the worst odds to win the WNBA Finals.
They’re in the midst of a massive rebuild, having just drafted Cameron Brink and losing forward Nneka Ogwumike, who departed for the Seattle Storm.

The Sparks did not get the same odds boost from the addition of Brink that the Fever got from Clark.
Los Angeles was 55/1 to win the WNBA Finals at the beginning of last season but are 85-1 this season.
The Sparks could be primed for another top draft slot next season.
