2025 WNBA All-Star Match Betting Perspective with Insights and Patterns
The highly anticipated 2025 WNBA All-Star Game is set to take place this weekend in Indianapolis, but one of the expected participants, Caitlin Clark, will not be suiting up for the event. Clark, a star player for the Indiana Fever, has been ruled out due to a re-aggravated groin injury she sustained in mid-July[1][4].
Clark, who was named a team captain for the All-Star Game due to her high number of votes, will also miss out on the three-point contest[2]. Despite her absence, she remains active on the sidelines during the event[1][4]. Clark expressed her disappointment about missing the game but stressed the importance of prioritizing her body's recovery[1][4].
As of early August 2025, Clark has no timeline for her return to play and has missed multiple consecutive games, including the All-Star weekend[5].
In her absence, Team Collier, led by Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, is favored to win the game with -165 odds[6]. Collier herself has odds of 300 to win the All Star Game MVP[3]. Other notable contenders for the MVP award include A'ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces) with odds of 1400, Breanna Stewart (New York Liberty) with odds of 1400, Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty) with odds of 1000, and Allisha Gray (Atlanta Dream) with odds of 1500[3][7][8][9].
The total points for the game have been set at 239.5[10]. If Clark were to play in the game, her team, Team Clark, would have +140 odds to win[11]. It's worth noting that over the last six years, only one WNBA All Star Game has been decided within three points[12]. Additionally, four out of the last six All-Star Games have gone over the total points of 239.5[13].
The All-Star Game will be an exciting spectacle, showcasing the skills of some of the league's top players. While Caitlin Clark's absence is a loss for the event, fans can still look forward to a thrilling game between Team Collier and Team Clark.
