A’ja Wilson’s run of three MVP’s in five seasons is likely to end this season, as the Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier is a -400 favorite to win the award at DraftKings Sportsbook, well ahead of Wilson (+300).

Last season, first overall pick Caitlin Clark helped lead the Indiana Fever to the playoffs in her first WNBA season. Perhaps the only stain on 2025 first overall pick Paige Bueckers’ tremendous rookie season is that her Dallas Wings were eliminated after Wednesday’s defeat to the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Minnesota Twins made one of the biggest fire sales in MLB history at the trade deadline, recognizing that their playoff hopes were slim and that the franchise’s long-term future would be best served by a race to the bottom. It’s kind of worked; the Twins are just 7-12 so far in August. Minnesota will […]
