The added attention to the WNBA has primarily stemmed from the influx of talent the league has seen over the past few seasons. Players like A'Ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark have made the league a must-watch event every night. While Clark spent most of the 2025 season on the sideline with an injury, Wilson did enough to win her fourth MVP award since the 2020 season.
While Wilson could certainly win another one in 2026, she did not open as the favorite. Instead, 2025 MVP runner-up Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx did.

A'ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces): Three of the last six MVP awards had gone to A'ja Wilson entering this season, and she has now made that four out of the last seven. The Aces star finished the regular season by averaging 23.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season. On top of that, she tied her career high in assists per game with 3.1. Aside from her offensive dominance, Wilson also finished as the league leader in blocks with 2.3 per game, and she was 7th in steals per game, which was enough to help her edge out Napheesa Collier.

Another loaded rookie class, headlined by Paige Bueckers, joined the league for the 2025 season. After opening as the favorite, Bueckers never relinquished her position at the top of the odds board, as she had the market off the boards before the final month of the regular season.
Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings): After her storied college career, which ended with a National Championship, Bueckers was expected to be taken 1st overall, and the Dallas Wings made that a reality. In her senior year, Bueckers averaged 19.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, as she is expected to be one of the focal points of the Wings' offense in her rookie season. To start her WNBA career, Bueckers averaged 19.2 points and 5.4 assists per game, as she was also named an All-Star starter on the way to the Rookie of the Year.
