2025 WNBA Draft odds: Paige Bueckers favored to go No. 1

The NFL isn’t the only league holding its annual draft in April. 

On April 14, the 2025 WNBA Draft will take place in Manhattan, New York, a year removed from Caitlin Clark going No. 1 overall to the Indiana Fever. 

Which superstar will go first this year?

First, let’s take a look at the upcoming draft order.

1. Dallas Wings
2. Seattle Storm
3. Washington Mystics
4. Washington Mystics
5. Golden State Valkyries
6. Washington Mystics
7. Connecticut Sun
8. Connecticut Sun
9. Los Angeles Sparks
10. Chicago Sky
11. Minnesota Lynx
12. Dallas Wings

Now, let’s take a look at the No. 1 pick odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of April 12. 

2025 WNBA Draft — No. 1 pick

Paige Bueckers: -20000 (bet $10 to win $10.05 total)
Dominique Malonga: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)
Kiki Iriafen: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)
Sonia Citron: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)

Just as it was considered a slam dunk that Clark would go No. 1 last year, Bueckers is in the same boat this season.

The UConn senior has struggled with injuries over the course of her college career, but it hasn’t derailed her standing as arguably the best player in women’s college basketball. 

She won the Wooden Award and AP Player of the Year in 2021, and she was also a unanimous first-team All-American and Big East Player of the Year in 2021 and 2024.

This season, Bueckers averaged 19.9 points, 4.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds, while shooting 53.4% from the field and 41.9% from 3-point range.

Finally, she led the Huskies to their first national title since 2016. 

The Dallas Wings own the first pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. They picked fifth last season, selecting Ohio State’s Jacy Sheldon, who they traded to the Connecticut Sun in early February.

Dallas finished 9-31 last season, the second-worst record in the league.

Now, let’s get to the odds for the other top-five picks in the WNBA Draft.
