We are back in action with the WNBA All-Star game tonight in what should be a game for the ages. No Caitlin Clark is a bummer but there are still some awesome gamers going toe-to-toe which is cause for popcorn. Last year in this series, we had a profitable season and so far again this season we're rocking it. Of course, as a reminder, I must advise to shop around for the best props and keep track of lineup news. Staying on top of news is a great way to stay ahead of the market, and shopping around will help with seasonal ROI. Anyway, let’s get to the best bets for the All-Star game.

Team Collier vs. Team Clark
The WNBA All-Star Game tips off tonight at 8:30 ET in Indianapolis. Team Collier sits around a 4.5-point favorite with a massive total of 258.5 points. The game can be found on ABC and I advise tuning in to take a look at the best in the business.
Team Clark may have the face of the WNBA on the sidelines but is still a stacked cast. A'ja Wilson and her 2024 MVP ways lead the squad with Sabrina Ionescu and Aliyah Boston as their own big three. Clark has multiple rookies with Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen with Brittney Sykes and Brionna Jones replacing Clark and Satou Sabally, respectively.
On the other side we have Team Collier which is an equally stacked squad. Napheesa Collier leads the way with Breanna Stewart and Allisha Gray next up. Paige Bueckers has lived up to the rookie hype so far and they have an elite rebounder in Angel Reese, Courtney Williams will bring the clamps, and Skylar Diggins and Alyssa Thomas add their elite range to really round out this team. It's hard to pick a hole in Team Collier.
And that's where I'm leaning across the board here. Team Clark has the hypothetical home-court advantage but without Clark on the floor, it's going to take the fans out of it in a big way to even the playing field. There's a reason for Collier and Co. to come out guns blazing and I trust in their offensive firepower and dynamic options across the board.
Playing time is up in the air of course, who knows how it will play out. But what stands out to me is Collier's MVP odds. On the season, she's a clear favorite sitting around -700 and it's hers to lose. But for the All-Star game, especially without Caitlin Clark in the fold, her odds are far too long. The cream rises to the top and Napheesa Collier is the best there is.
If Collier doesn't win MVP, it's because someone else went off. And let me just remind you that the total is hovering around 260. There will be little to no defense in this game and that's perfect for betting any player to score 35+ points. We have a lot of sharpshooters in this game and if any one of them gets hot early, they will likely stay in the game and keep gunning.
The TLDR is to take Team Collier -4.5 points. It's an easy bet to make. But if you're looking for longer odds as well, I've provided some options too.
Picks: Team Collier -4.5 (-110) & Any Player to Score 35+ Points (+200) & Napheesa Collier All-Star Game MVP (+370)
