2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year odds: Is the award still Paige Bueckers' to lose?
The WNBA season is still in its early stages. That said, we've already seen several storylines start to form. The rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese is as strong as ever. The race to see who can stay undefeated the longest between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx is in full force. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries have lost three in a row after starting the season 2-1. Can they remain in the playoff hunt through their inaugural season?
Another storyline fans were dying to see this year is Dallas Wings' rookie Paige Bueckers. After helping lead UConn to a national championship, all eyes were on the young superstar to see if she could help turn the Wings around the same way Caitlin Clark helped the Indiana Fever.
So far, it's been a struggle. Bueckers and the Wings sit at 1-7, and it has drastically impacted Bueckers' Rookie of the Year odds. Bueckers began the season as a sure-fire bet to win the award.
Here's where she stands after the first eight games of her professional career (all odds provided via BetMGM):
