The Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese has shifted from +1400 to +600 odds for WNBA Rookie of the Year, following her most recent game of 25 points and 16 rebounds. The Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark is still the favorite but her odds are now -950.

In just a few days, the WNBA Rookie of the Year market has drastically changed. Caitlin Clark was in the neighborhood of -4000 odds. Now that’s down to 950 or 850 at some shops because Angel Reese officially is back in the conversation after a 25 point 16 rebound effort against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever. The Chicago Sky get the one point win.
So the question is, is there any betting value? Now, Angel Reese is now six to one. Just a few days ago, she was 14 to one. Cameron Brink, obviously out for the year with an injury. So it’s really just Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. I still think Caitlin Clark will win Rookie of the Year, just the higher usage with the ball in her hands and more offensive sort of options with the shooting and the assist. She had 13 assists against the Sky as well. But Angel Reese’s offense has been coming along. Now she had very, she has a very low shooting percentage. She struggles around the rim in the paint, but it looks like her post game is getting more refined. She was eight of 12, I want to say, against Indiana, had another game where she had a similar shooting performance. So maybe she is getting her repertoire and she has eight straight double doubles. She could lead the league in rebounding. Right now that yes, no prop is at DraftKings. I may or may not have suggested they do that. So she’s right now second behind A’ja Wilson.
So if she leads the league in rebounds and has that sort of headline and she does the double double thing. Maybe Caitlin Clark has more still maintains the turnovers. I don’t think she will, but let’s say that six to one’s not the worst bet in the world for now. It’s a no bet. But I couldn’t fault anyone. I wouldn’t lay the big heavy number on, on Caitlin Clark. It’s just, you’re not going to win a whole lot of money doing that. But I wouldn’t fault you if you took the underdog at +600 here.
