The 2024 WNBA All-Star odds are out with the Paris 2024 USA Basketball Women’s National Team favored (-235) in the Team WNBA vs. Team USA game.
Featuring bets for a jam-packed weekend of skills competitions and an All-Star game matchup, the festivities tip-off on Friday, July 19 at a sold-out Footprint Center in Phoenix.
2024 WNBA All-star Game odds
A sneak peak into the upcoming Olympics, the Team USA roster are 5.5-point betting favorites to defeat Team WNBA, a lineup created from fan, player and coach voting.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, Rookie Of The Year contenders, will be making their first All-Star appearance dressing for Team WNBA. Meanwhile, Team USA is filled with seasoned veterans. Top point scorer and MVP favorite, A'ja Wilson will lead the group while being complimented by New York's Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.
Put it this way, if the USA National Team doesn't win… that's not a good start ahead of their Olympic run.
Though the OVER hit in last year's Team Wilson vs. Team Stewart tilt with 270 points, the UNDER has cashed in three of the last five contests. Notably, the All-Star game followed this format ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics with Team WNBA upsetting the USA National roster, 93-85.
2024 WNBA All-star Three-Point Contest odds
Minnesota's Kayla McBride is the +110 favorite to win the WNBA three-point competition. The Lynx guard sits at the top of league by draining 76 total three-pointers this season.
However, at +450, Stefanie Dolson is a value bet I'll be making. Tied for last, her Washington Mystics don't let her shine. Dolson averages the WNBA's second-best 48.5 3P%. Accuracy is key under the timed contest.
With no returning name from last year, a whole new lineup of ladies will be shooting beyond the arc. Shockingly, Sabrina Ionescu will not be participating in the contest this weekend, despite winning last year's competition breaking WNBA and NBA records by sinking 37-of-40 (92.5%) shots. Both Ionescu and Caitlin Clark declined the invite to shoot from the perimeter.
2024 WNBA All-star Skills Competition odds
The WNBA skills competition odds are a tight race with Indiana's Erica Wheeler pinned the slight +300 favorite. The five players will compete in a timed obstacle course that showcases dribbling, passing and shooting drills.
I suggest not betting on Marina Mabrey, who has dealt with a stressful few days after being traded from Chicago to Connecticut. Planning to pack up and move to the fourth team in her career will impact her mindset.
Instead, my WNBA skills competition pick is Brittney Griner, a whopping 10-time WNBA All-Star, who will join the fun in front of her team's home crowd.
