The Las Vegas Aces just won their second straight championship and the New York Liberty are right behind them. Of course, Washington is also a dark horse contender at best.
Assuming they bring everyone back, starting with Elena Delle Donne, the Mystics can be dark horse contenders once again. The Mystics were in the playoffs last year and had the potential to contend for a championship if multiple player injuries didn’t happen at once. The ranking isn’t particularly surprising. The Washington Mystics have the fifth-best odds of winning the 2024 WNBA championship according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
