2024 WNBA odds: Angel Reese closing in on Caitlin Clark in Rookie of the Year race
The Caitlin Clark–Angel Reese rivalry has now shifted to the Rookie of the Year race.
Their teams — the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky — have faced off three times this season, with Indy holding a 2-1 advantage. They will match up once more on Aug. 30.
In the meantime, however, both rookies are continuing their ascent into stardom.
On Sunday, Clark and the Fever knocked off the Mercury in Phoenix 88-82, after trailing by 13 in the first quarter, 11 in the second and as many as 15 in the third.
Clark finished just short of a triple-double, notching 15 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.
Reese and the Sky also took the floor Sunday, falling 70-62 at Minnesota. However, Reese made history even in defeat, tallying her 10th straight double-double.
She is the first player in WNBA history to accomplish the feat, and as of Monday, she leads the league in rebounds per game (11.4).
Can Reese catch Clark on the ROY oddsboard?
Let’s take a look at the WNBA Rookie of the Year odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 1.
WNBA Rookie of the Year 2024:
Caitlin Clark, Fever: -950 (bet $10 to win $11.05 total) 600
Angel Reese, Sky: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total) 400
Rickea Jackson, Sparks: +15000 (bet $10 to win $1,510 total)
Kamilla Cardoso, Sky: +15000 (bet $10 to win $1,510 total)
Clark was at -950 to win the award last Monday, but has since moved to +600, while Reese saw her odds shorten from +600 to +400.
Another factor that could affect the race is playoff participation.
If the season were to end today, the Fever, at 8-12, would be the last team to qualify for the postseason, while the Sky, at 6-11, would be the first team on the outside looking in.
