WNBA Most Improved Player Favourites & Best Bets

Rickea Jackson Most Improved Player Odds +600

Jackson is currently +600 to win the Most Improved Player award.

She is averaging 10.5 points through her first two games of the season, putting up 13 points, five rebounds, and three assists in the Los Angeles Sparks’ 84-67 win over the Golden State Valkyries in her season debut.

Jackson could emerge as one of the Sparks’ top scoring options this season alongside Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, and Azura Stevens.

Kamilla Cardoso Most Improved Player Odds +650

Cardoso is currently +650 to win the Most Improved Player award.

She put up seven points and seven rebounds in her season debut, though the Chicago Sky fell to the Indiana Fever 93-58.

If Cardoso can improve her scoring average into the double digits, while continuing to haul in a ton of rebounds and block a lot ot shots, she could be in serious play for this award.

Rhyne Howard Most Improved Player Odds +700

Howard is currently +700 to win the Most Improved Player award.

She went off for 20 points, three assists, and three steals in the Atlanta Dream’s 91-90 win over the Indiana Fever on Tuesday.

Howard has been a solid contributor across the board during her career, but if she can slightly improve her averages and lead the Dream to more success, she could easily be named Most Improved Player.

Brittney Sykes Most Improved Player Odds +800

Sykes is currently +800 to win the Most Improved Player award.

She is averaging 24.5 points and six assists per game in her first two games of the season while leading the Washington Mystics to two wins.

Skyes has earned a reputation for being a great defender throughout her career, but if her offensive breakout is sustainable, she could earn the Most Improved Player award.

Leonie Fiebich Most Improved Player Odds +900

Fiebich is currently +1500 to win the Most Improved Player award.

She scored just two points in the New York Liberty’s season-opening 92-78 win over the Las Vegas Aces but added four rebounds, three steals, and one block.

Her offensive game could improve as the season goes on, but her primary responsibilities will be to provide a ton of suffocating defence alongside Breanna Stewart and Natasha Cloud.
