WNBA All-Star week is upon us. The best of the best will gather in Indianapolis to show off their skills. Our festivities will be crowned with the All-Star game on Saturday, as Team Caitlin Clark takes on Team Napheesa Collier. In this loaded field, who will be crowned the WNBA All-Star Game MVP?
Let’s look at the field on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
It’s worth noting that Caitlin Clark suffered an injury that will keep her out for Wednesday’s game. Having suffered multiple groin injuries this year, it’s possible that the Fever will encourage Clark to sit and rest. But nothing has been decided yet, so keep an eye on that.
Now, let’s get into some favorite picks to take home the hardware.
Best All-Star Game MVP Bets
Here’s a list of the All-Star Game MVPs this century: Arike Ogunbowale 2x, Kelsey Plum, and Jewell Loyd. Scoring guards dominate this game. And Paige Bueckers is in that stat-filling mold.
As a starter for Team Napheesa, they’re going to lean on her a lot for perimeter creation. And team Caitlin doesn’t have much in the way of backcourt defense. The defensive effort is low in these games, and she’s going to get a lot of looks. Bueckers is my favorite value on the board.
If you’re looking for another scoring guard on Team Phee, look no further than Kelsey Plum. The former All-Star Game MVP has been filling up the scoresheet all season long, carrying the Sparks’ offense.
She won’t get as many minutes as the starters, but she’s got the ability to fill it up on the drive and from the perimeter. A huge scoring performance in limited minutes gives her as good a chance as any.
