2025 WNBA Championship Odds and Prediction – Liberty to Repeat?

New York Liberty (+120)

• • Head Coach: Sandy Brondello
  • 2024 Record: 32-8 (Won WNBA Title)
  • WNBA Titles: 1
  • Key Players: Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones

The Liberty (8-0) have been absolutely scorching teams, ranking first in net rating (23.3), offensive rating (112.0), and defensive rating (88.6). They’re the best three-point shooting team in the league, hitting 38.2% of their long-range attempts. The Liberty look even better than they did on last year’s title run!

The core of Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones continue to be fantastic. But the addition of Natasha Cloud has made the Liberty even better! Cloud is averaging 10.0 points and 6.6 assists, allowing Ionescu to play off the ball more.

With the Liberty blowing out teams, it allows them to play their bench players more, which will be useful later in the season. But a quarter of the way through the 2025 campaign, the New York Liberty are the team to beat, according to the WNBA championship odds, the stats, and the eye test!

Minnesota Lynx (+330)

• • Head Coach: Cheryl Reeve
  • 2024 Record: 30-10 (Lost in WNBA Finals)
  • WNBA Titles: 4
  • Key Players: Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams

The Lynx are actually undervalued here, so you can get a decent return on their WNBA title odds right now! Minnesota is second to New York in most important stats, including net rating, offensive and defensive rating.

Napheesa Collier is now the favorite in the WNBA MVP odds after absolutely stuffing the stat sheet! Collier is averaging 25.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. She is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, but so far this season, Collier is the best two-way player in the league.

What’s more, is that Kayla McBride is back in the lineup. The veteran guard missed the first four games of the season for personal reasons, but McBride has averaged 17.0 points in five games. She is also shooting 53.2% from the field, and 54.8% from three-point range. That opens up the floor for Collier and the rest of the Lynx.

Getting the Lynx at +330 would be a steal this early in the season. If anything, the Lynx’s WNBA championship odds might shorten even more!

Indiana Fever (+400)

• • Head Coach: Stephanie White
  • 2024 Record: 20-20 (Lost in First Round)
  • WNBA Titles: 1
  • Key Players: Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell

The Fever are 4-4, and have been without Caitlin Clark since May 24 when she suffered a quad injury. Indiana is 2-2 without their star guard, and it has had to be a team effort to keep the Fever afloat. However, Clark said she could be back for Tuesday’s game against Atlanta.

“The message is the same. It’s we over me.”

in the first-ever primetime @WNBA matchup at the United Center, we put up a dominating 27-point win over the Sky last night. Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 17 points, Lexie Hull surpassed 500 career points & Aliyah Boston recorded… pic.twitter.com/Db24lFPQoq

— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) June 8, 2025

Clark leads the team in points with 19.0 in her four games, along with 9.3 assists. But the star is one of seven players to average 7.4 points or more for the Fever. What’s more surprising,is the improvement of the Indiana defense. The Fever are third in defensive rating and points allowed per game.

Indiana’s issues last season were on that end of the court. If they continue to improve there, the Fever could challenge the top two in the WNBA championship odds!

Las Vegas Aces (+550)

• • Head Coach: Becky Hammon
  • 2024 Record: 27-13 (Lost in Semifinals)
  • WNBA Titles: 2
  • Key Players: A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd

The Aces are 4-3, but they’ve lost a couple of games in a concerning fashion. They lost 102-82 in Seattle on May 25, but a 95-68 loss at Golden State is more alarming. The Valkyries are an expansion team, but they thoroughly outclassed the Aces, who won the title in 2022 and 2023. They also lost in the semifinals to New York last season.

That led to head coach Becky Hammon calling her team “soft”, so it appears that it’s a mental issue with the Aces. Three-time and reigning MVP A’ja Wilson has been great, averaging 22.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.4 blocks, and 2.0 steals. But Vegas is eighth in defensive rating, and ninth in points allowed.

The Aces know that’s not good enough if you want to be a title contender. They’re going to be able to score points, although they haven’t been at their best there, either. But the Aces are a veteran team, and I have faith that they’ll be, at least, one of the last four teams in the WNBA this season!

Seattle Storm (+1800)

• • Head Coach: Noelle Quinn
  • 2024 Record: 25-15 (Lost in First Round)
  • WNBA Titles: 4
  • Key Players: Sklyar Diggins, Nneka Ogwumike, Gabby Williams

The Storm get my nod as the early-season WNBA sleeper after nine games! Seattle is 5-4, and their trio of guard Skylar Diggins, as well as the forward duo of Nneka Ogwumike and Gabby Williams, have been terrific to start the season.

I do worry about the Storm’s depth, or lack thereof. Currently, Seattle goes seven-deep. The last two players average 11.6 (Zia Cooke) and 9.2 (Dominique Malonga) minutes, respectively. If one of the Storm’s top three players gets hurt, that could be a problem.

But for now, the Storm are healthy. They’ll need the top teams to struggle, with either injuries or poor form. If that happens, Seattle has veterans who can capitalize at the top of the lineup, and their WNBA championship odds of +1800 offer a fantastic return
