The Indiana Fever announced Monday that superstar Caitlin Clark wouldmiss at least two weekswith a left quad strain, an injury that will sideline her for at least four games. She will be re-evaluated at that time. Clark entered the season as the betting favorite to win the 2025 WNBA MVP atBetMGMand was the odds-on favorite with -115 odds on Monday before the injury. After the injury was announced, oddsmakers moved Clark out to +250 (second-best odds) and made Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier the new MVP favorite, moving her odds from +160 to -175. After helping the Lynx to the WNBA Finals last season, Collier is leading the WNBA in scoring at 29.5 points per game and Minnesota is 4-0. Collier is a four-time All-Star and two-time All-WNBA performer. Clark is averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists and 6 rebounds in four games this season, similar numbers to her outstanding rookie season in 2024 when she won WNBA Rookie of the Year. The Fever are 2-2 so far this year. Bettors have been backing Clark to win MVP at BetMGM, as she has more than half of all the wagers (51.9%) and total dollars wagered (62.9%) to win the award. She is the sportsbook's biggest liability to win, which will be tougher after missing this upcoming stretch of games.
