Road to the WNBA Commissioner's Cup
The defending champs and WNBA title odds favorites find themselves in a prime position to add to their hardware collection, with the Las Vegas Aces going 9-1 in Commissioner's Cup play out of the West. That 9-1 stand adds to their WNBA-best record of 24-3 with the most recent L coming at the hands of a Sabrina Ionescu masterclass.
Ionescu and the New York Liberty will meet Vegas in the final of this in-season tournament thanks to a 7-3 record in the East during the tournament's play. The Liberty had to work a little harder however as their record was tied with the Connecticut Sun, but a head-to-record tiebreaker in which N.Y. won 2-0 gave them the spot in the final.
This game should prove to be a dogfight, with the league's top two teams currently tied 1-1 in their regular season series.

The winning team's players will receive a $500k bonus, along with the Commissioner's Cup trophy.
Understanding WNBA Commissioner's Cup odds
Sportsbooks will post odds for the WNBA Commissioner's Cup shortly before the regular season begins. These odds are adjusted throughout the season as players switch teams, show steady improvement, or are injured. Sportsbooks will also adjust the WNBA odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.
WNBA Commissioner's Cup odds will usually look like this:
- New York Liberty +270
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $2700 if the Liberty win the Commissioner's Cup. If it's close to the end of the tournament and the WNBA has a particularly dominant team, you might see a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds.
- Las Vegas Aces -315
This means you have to bet $315 to win $100 on an Aces Commissioner's Cup win.
