Who Are the Favorites to Win the 2023 WNBA MVP?

Breanna Stewart (+280)

2022 WNBA season statistics

The 2018 WNBA MVP, Breanna Stewart, enters this season as one of the favorites to win her second award in 2023. After finishing second place in MVP voting in 2022, Stewart re-evaluated her priorities and now plying her trade in New York amongst some of the NBA's biggest stars.

Last season, Stewart was an all-around threat. She averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.0 threes per game on 47.2% from the field and 37.9% from three-point range. Nothing is guaranteed, but expect Stewart to remain the focus of the Liberty offense and broaden her production areas.

The expectations for the New York Liberty are through the roof, and there's no guarantee that they'll find success. However, with the experience and quality of Breanna Stewart, last year's MVP runner-up is set to have a tremendous year and reverse New York's fortunes.

A'ja Wilson (+300)

2022 WNBA season statistics

Las Vegas Aces guard A'ja Wilson was one of last year's top performers, and she was awarded for her efforts. Earning the 2023 WNBA MVP and the 2023 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, Wilson has solidified her place as one of the WNBA's best players.

Through the 2022 WNBA season, Wilson averaged 19.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on 50.1% from the field and 37.3% from three-point range. Not only was she Las Vegas' focus on offense, but Wilson anchored the Aces' defense to their first WNBA Championship.

Expect it to be a tight race for MVP all season, but A'ja Wilson and her reigning champion Las Vegas Aces are sure to put her in the best position to win all season. The Aces have retooled themselves, acquiring two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker. Wilson returns with a stronger team that will only help her maintain her MVP-level production.
