WNBA Championship odds ahead of 2022 draft

The 2022 WNBA Draft will take place tonight at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, with the first overall pick belonging to the Atlanta Dream. The Dream acquired the pick in a trade last week with the Washington Mystics, who received the third and 14th overall picks in the draft. Washington also got the rights to a pick swap for the Los Angeles Sparks’ 2023 first round pick.

As we prepare for another exciting season in the WNBA, it’s never a bad time to take a look at the odds to win the championship last season. One team that could be a smart play at their current value is the Phoenix Mercury (+550), who added Tina Charles and Diamond DeShields in the offseason.

Charles had one of her best seasons in Washington last season and will be looking to add onto what the Mercury have built over the last few seasons. You could also take a flier on the Mystics (+1800), who should have a healthy Elena Delle Donne back, to go along with Natasha Cloud and Tianna Hawkins, who both played excellent ball in Athletes Unlimited over the winter.
