    Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese rank first and second respectively for BetMGM's 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award odds .

    Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is currently listed at -500 odds while her longtime rival Reese, the No. 7 overall pick, is second with +300 odds. The rest of the top 5 includes Los Angles Sparks forward Rickea Jackson , Reese's Sky teammate Kamila Cardoso and Washington Mystics forward Aaliyah Edwards at +25000 odds.

    Clark and Reese were the only two rookies selected to the only rookies and first-time All-Stars selected to appear in the upcoming All-Star Game against USA Basketball ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The two rookies' collegiate rivalry played a key role in the sudden spike in women's basketball's popularity and both are in consideration for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award.

    "I don't think I've ever been her teammate before, even at USA Basketball. I know people will be really excited about it, but I hope it doesn't take away from everyone else," Clark said via ESPN . "This is a huge accomplishment for everybody on Team USA and everyone on Team WNBA. They all deserve the same praise. I don't want it to take away from any of that and be the focal point of All-Star weekend because that's not fair to them."

    Clark has averaged 16.8 points, 7.8 assists and 5.8 rebounds through her first 25 games, recording more than 300 points, 100 rebounds and 100 assists faster than any player in WNBA history. Reese is averaging 13.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, having set and extended her WNBA record for double-doubles to 15 consecutive games.
