Minnesota Lynx (+110)
Minnesota dominated the regular season with a record 34 wins, leading the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Napheesa Collier emerged as a true MVP candidate, while the team's depth – including sharpshooter Kayla McBride and defensive anchor Alanna Smith – makes the Lynx one of the most complete squads in league history.

Las Vegas Aces (+375)
After a shaky start, Las Vegas stormed into the playoffs on an 18–1 run. Led by A'ja Wilson, who averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds during that stretch, the Aces are peaking at the perfect time. With their championship pedigree, they remain one of the most dangerous teams in the field.
