The Indiana Fever made some big moves this off-season. After last season’s success and the immediate impact that Caitlin Clark made on the team, Kelly Krauskopf and Amber Cox took matters into their own hands. They moved pieces around and eventually landed stars like Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bonner, and Sophie Cunningham. It was a definite upgrade for the Fever during free agency as they attempt to win a championship this year.
However, betting odds show fans do not consider the fever to be a clear-cut winner. The New York Liberty has the highest odds of any team repeating and winning the championship, while the Las Vegas Aces and Minnesota Lynx rank above the Fever in odds of winning. Indiana stands at a respectable four, but their off-season efforts have been overpowered by winning experience.
Not only that, A’ja Wilson beats out Caitlin Clark to have the highest pre-season MVP odds! With the way that CC played last year, everyone was expecting an even better sophomore year from the former ROTY. However, Clark sits at a humble #2 in the eyes of betters, with the reigning MVP backed to win again.

These odds will definitely provide Caitlin Clark with motivation to succeed, as Wilson is pulling forward in every way imaginable. Even from a team perspective, the Aces are favored to win the championship over the Indiana Fever. Fans hope to see a career year from the Iowa alum, surpassing what she did last year.
