The Westgate Las Vegas Superbook really likes what Dan Padover, Bill Laimbeer and the Las Vegas Aces have done so far this offseason – particularly the signings of Angel McCoughtry and Danielle Robinson.
In its first WNBA odds for the 2020 season, the Aces open as 3/1 favorites to win the 2020 championship. The Connecticut Sun, which made a major splash this free agency period with the trade for DeWanna Bonner and were last year’s runner-up to the Washington Mystics, open at 4/1 odds.
Behind the Aces and Sun are the Los Angeles Sparks, which brought back one of the league’s most proficient 3-point shooters in Kristi Toliver and dealt Kalani Brown to the Atlanta Dream. The Sparks are at 9/2. The Phoenix Mercury, which made the trade for Skylar Diggins-Smith are right behind the Sparks at 6/1 odds. The Seattle Storm, which will be bringing back Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart this year are tied with Phoenix at 6/1.
Last year’s WNBA champion Mystics are sixth at 7/1 in spite of adding Leilani Mitchell to replace Toliver and re-signing reigning league MVP Elena Delle Donne and reigning Finals MVP Emma Meesseman. The Chicago Sky, which will be bringing back reigning Coach of the Year James Wade and recently made a deal to bring Azura Stevens to the Windy City for Katie Lou Samuelson are at 20/1 odds. Remember – if not for Dearica Hamby’s miraculous midcourt shot in last season’s playoff game, the Sky advance to the semifinals instead of the Aces.
The Minnesota Lynx open at 40/1 odds as did the Indiana Fever. The New York Liberty have 50/1 odds and the Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream are tied with 100/1 odds.
