With a little bit over a dozen games remaining in the regular season, the WNBA Awards are dwindling down and the MVP got a little more interesting this past week.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the MVP, DPOY and Most Improved Player markets. Odds are courtesy of DraftKings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WNBA MVP Ladder: 1. Napheesa Collier (-300)2. Alyssa Thomas (+250)<\/p>\n

3. A\u2019ja Wilson (+3000)<\/p>\n

In the Lynx\u2019s 111-58 win over the Aces on Saturday, Napheesa Collier (-300)<\/b> sat out the fourth quarter with an ankle injury and is listed as day-to-day. That has opened the door for Alyssa Thomas (+250)<\/b> who dropped from +700 to +250 with Collier\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the day after Collier\u2019s injury, Thomas recorded 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a win over Chicago for her second triple double of the season. <\/p>\n

Thomas averages a career-high in points (16.0), assists (9.0), and field goal percentage (53%) in her first season away from Connecticut. Despite her outstanding season, Collier should still win MVP, so I will pass on Thomas\u2019 rise.<\/p>\n

WNBA DPOY Ladder:1. Napheesa Collier (+200)2. Gabby Williams (+275)3. A\u2019ja Wilson (+250)<\/p>\n

These odds are based on Thursday\u2019s market as most sports books have not released an updated since Saturday because of Napheesa Collier\u2019s (+200)<\/b> injury.<\/p>\n

While I still believe she is the right bet in this market and will be the favorite when odds are restored, Gabby Williams (+275)<\/b> isn\u2019t going away and deserves a shoutout. <\/p>\n

In a double OT loss to the Sparks, Williams posted five steals after posting 12 combined steals in the four previous games (17 steals over a five-game stretch). It\u2019s solely a two-player race and Collier\u2019s future will be determined on if she misses too many games down the stretch.<\/p>\n

Collier can become the fifth player since 2007 (A\u2019ja Wilson<\/b>, Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes<\/b>) to win MVP and DPOY in the same season. With the Lynx likely finishing with the best record, her MVP, and the most wins in WNBA single season history (34-6 record by Las Vegas in 2023) \u2014 thanks to four games being added this season \u2014 DPOY is likely another way this team\/Collier is rewarded for an outstanding regular season.<\/p>\n

WNBA MIP Ladder:1. Allisha Gray (+185)2. Azura Stevens (+300)3. Veronica Burton (+600)<\/p>\n

Last week, I wrote about Allisha Gray (+185)<\/b> to win Most Improved Player at +400 and she has climbed the ladder once again. A month ago, she was +1500 and now she is the favorite with 12-15 games remaining.<\/p>\n

Gray went for 26 and 22 points in her past two games on 15-of-27 (55.5%) shooting, including 9-of-13 (69.2%) from three. Atlanta won both games and is currently on a three-game winning streak with Gray being a driving force on both ends (4 steals, 1 block in that span).<\/p>\n

Last week, four players were +400 as co-favorites with Gray being one and Azura Stevens (+300)<\/b> being another. The field has started to clear and Stevens took firm control of second in this field per oddsmakers. <\/p>\n

Stevens has 15-plus points in six of the past seven games and six-plus boards. On the season, she averages career-high in points (14.9), rebounds (8.5), assists (1.4), and steals (1.3) per game. It\u2019ll be a close race down the stretch, but I will continue to side with Gray after her big week.<\/p>\n
