"The Minnesota Lynx will enter the WNBA playoffs favored to win it all, but they'll be watching over their shoulders for the two most recent league champions. Minnesota is the consensus favorite to win their first title since 2017 across the sportsbook marketplace, showing +110 odds at ESPN BET. The surging Las Vegas Aces sport +260 odds, while the reigning champion New York Liberty are at +350. From there, it's a steep dropoff to the third-seeded Atlanta Dream at +1000."
"Meanwhile, the Aces made an extraordinary surge up the odds board with their 16-game winning streak to end the regular season. At ESPN BET, Becky Hammon's squad opened the campaign at +400 to win the title, but fell to a long of +3000 in mid-August amid a sluggish start to the season. However, the Aces' strong finish landed them at their current odds, propelling them past the Liberty after the final day of the regular season."
