2021 WNBA Winner Odds: Connecticut Sun and Las Vegas Aces Are the Favorites

The Playoffs of the 2021 WNBA season start this week with two games in the first round. Where teams will fight to join the first four teams of the regular season. Including the season wins the Connecticut Sun who is favored to win the title in the 2021 WNBA winner odds. But the defending champions, the Seattle Storm, and runners-up the Las Vegas Aces can also get the trophy in October. 

The Connecticut Sun won the 2021 WNBA regular season and got to the semi-finals along with the Los Angeles Aces, who finished behind them. The 3rd and 4th-placed teams, the Minnesota Lynx and the Seattle Storm will play in the second round. Against the winners of the first round matches, where teams finishing between the 5th and 8th places are competing. The Seattle Storm are the defending champions who also won the first edition of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup this August. They defeated the Sun in the final which might be a promising sign for the champions. But we can’t write off the most successful team in the sport’s history either, the Minnesota Lynx. Or the Aces who finished second in the regular season and reached the final last year.

2021 WNBA Winner Odds Favor the Sun to Win Its First Trophy

The Connecticut Sun reached the final of the WNBA three times before but lost there all three times. Now they have a real chance of winning their first title after performing on top-level in the regular season. Online sportsbooks in the US favor them with the odds of +175.00 in their 2021 WNBA winner odds. The Sun is on a 14-game winning streak and only needs to win against two more teams to get the trophy. Their coach, Curt Miller is the favorite to win the Coach of the Year award after setting up his team so well. With players like 2021 MVP Jonquel Jones, Brionna Jones, and Alyssa Thomas, the Sun really looks like a heavy favorite.

They are likely to meet the Las Vegas Aces in the final, who lost all three games against them in the regular season. But this is the playoff now, where the Aces can surprise anyone with their great squad. This season they have become the first WNBA team to have seven players averaging double figures in scoring. We can find in their strong squad last season’s MVP, A’ja Wilson, and former scoring champion Liz Cambage. The Aces also target their first WNBA title this season after two lost finals. Now their odds to win it are +210.00 on BetOnline. 

The Defending Champions Can Also Win The Title

Last year’s champions, the Seattle Storm finished fourth in the regular season. This also means that they will face the winner of the Phoenix Mercury vs New York Liberty tie. The team has been missing its best player, Breanna Stewart due to an injury for two weeks now. And it is still a question of when she can return. Of course, their squad still has other great players like Jewell Loyd, who scored 37 points against Phoenix last week. The Storm has already won the title four times, not losing any final they were featuring. But first, they need to get there which won’t be an easy task, especially against the Sun. Their odds to defend their title are +400.00. 

Online gambling sites in the US rank the Minnesota Lynx behind them. Bookmakers offer the odds of +650.00 for their victory. The Lynx are the most successful franchise in the sport with four wins and two runner-up finishes. They started this season with poor performance. But they got much better and won 17 out of their last 20 matches. Their key players include Aerial Powers who returned from a long injury but have been playing superbly since. The Lynx will face either the Chicago Sky or the Dallas Wings in their first game of the playoff. If they win that match, the team will face the Aces. Who defeated them 102-81 in their last meeting and will be the favorites of that tie.
