WNBA Rookie of the Year Favorites

Paige Bueckers (-230)

Bueckers opened at a heavy favorite for a reason. The former UConn superstar is coming off of a National Championship victory and will be riding high into the WNBA. The Edina, Minnesota native has been penciled is as the future No.1 pick since she was a freshman. A three-time unanimous All-American Bueckers polished offensive game, elite vision, and ability to take over in the clutch makes her the frontrunner. She’s WNBA ready from Day 1 and steps into the perfect situation to showcase her skill set.

That being said, -230 is a seriously steep price for a full-season award. If you’re looking for a safe bet and don’t mind the juice Bueckers is the clear-cut wager. However, there’s a ton of interesting value further down the WNBA Rookie of the Year odds board.

Dominique Malonga (+400)

Malonga isn’t a household name (yet), but the French forward has all the tools to have a huge impact on the Seattle Storm. Her size, motor and rebounding instincts alone will translate straight away at the next level. If she’s getting consistent minutes, her offensive stats should match as well. Remember, Molanga represented France at the 2024 Olympics at the age of just 18 years old. She averaged just 2.8 points and 2 rebounds per game, but gained valuable experience against the very best players in the world.

If she can play for the French national team as a teenager, Molanga has the potential to hit the ground running in the WNBA. Should Bueckers stumble or miss time with an injury, Molanga is the most likely beneficiary. At +400 odds, she’s worth a unit wager.

Kiki Iriafen (+1200)

Looking for a longshot WNBA Rookie of the Year bet with significant upside? Iriafen dominated on a stacked USC Trojans squad last season, and her athleticism and scoring ability could pop in the WAshington Mystics system. The 6’3 forward averaged 18 points and 8.4 rebounds while shooting nearly 50% from the floor for the Trojans, and could easily carve out that same role in the WNBA.

The fourth overall pick is a raw prospect compared to the names above her, but Iriafen’s scoring numbers could set her apart. At +1200 odds, Kiki is worth a sprinkle.
