The WNBA's biggest stars take center stage on Saturday night as Team Coop and Team Spoon meet in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game.

Team Spoon enters as the betting favorite, but Paige Bueckers and a loaded Team Coop roster offer plenty of upset potential in my WNBA All-Star predictions.

Below, I break down the latest game-winner and MVP odds before tipoff on Saturday, July 25, along with my best bets for the league's marquee exhibition.

Who will win the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game?

My best bet
Team Coop (+133 at Kalshi)

All-Star Games are inherently unpredictable, but I prefer the roster construction of Team Coop at plus-money.

Exhibition basketball typically favors guard play, with little rim protection and even less defensive intensity, and Team Coop has the deeper collection of shot creators and perimeter scorers.

Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron, Kahleah Copper, Marina Mabrey, Kelsey Mitchell, and Jackie Young can all create offense without needing plays called for them.

Angel Reese also returns to Chicago, adding a fun narrative that could see her teammates look to get her involved early. In a game built on pace and highlights, Team Coop has the more dynamic offensive group at +133.

Olivia Miles +1011

Who will win WNBA All-Star Game MVP?

My best bet
Kelsey Mitchell (+567 at Kalshi)

If Team Coop is going to pull the upset, I think Kelsey Mitchell is the most likely player to take home MVP honors.

She's putting together one of the finest seasons of her career, ranking second in the WNBA in scoring while sitting third in 3-pointers made per game. Mitchell has always thrived as a shot hunter, and that's exactly the profile you want in an All-Star Game, where ball movement is loose, defense is optional, and players are encouraged to let it fly.

If she catches fire from deep, Mitchell has the scoring upside to steal MVP honors at an attractive price.
