After a dominant campaign that reaffirmed her status as the league’s most unstoppable force, A'ja Wilson has officially captured her third consecutive WNBA MVP award and the fifth of her historic career.
Anchoring the Las Vegas Aces on both ends of the floor, Wilson continues to define what sustained greatness looks like. Her two-way impact remains unmatched—serving as a primary scoring option in the half court while controlling games defensively as an elite rim protector and rebounder.
Even with opponents scheming specifically to slow her down, she consistently found ways to dictate tempo, draw double teams, and elevate the efficiency of everyone around her throughout the season.
What separates Wilson’s MVP résumé is not just peak performance, but historic, repeat dominance. By capturing three straight MVP trophies and five overall, her legacy as the league’s premier superstar is no longer just a narrative—it is undisputed reality.

Understanding WNBA MVP odds
Most sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. If a player becomes a very strong favorite, their odds will be listed with a minus (-) sign ahead of the number.
- A'ja Wilson -110
The (-) means that Wilson is an odds-on favorite, and a bettor needs to wager $110 to win $100. Other contenders in the MVP race have plus (+) odds to win.
- Breanna Stewart +300
Here, a bettor stands to profit $300 for a $100 wager on Stewart if she wins the award.
If American odds aren't your thing, simply use a tool like our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.
WNBA MVP odds trends
Here are some trends you'll want to keep in mind when betting on WNBA MVP odds:
- WNBA MVP has historically been a big woman's award. Diana Taurasi (2009) is the only pure guard to win since Cynthia Cooper (1997, '98).
- Repeat winners are quite common, with eight players having won two or more MVP trophies in the award's 27-year history.
- Seeding had been of increasing importance recently, with six of the previous seven MVP winners having being from the league's No. 1 overall seed. However, Wilson's unanimous 2024 win came from the 4-seed.
