That seems rather obvious.
The New York Liberty, who are 29-6, and the back-to-back champions, the Las Vegas Aces, are the two favorites to win the WNBA Finals.
But are there other legitimate contenders lurking in the shadows?
Believe it or not, some teams have the ability to win championships.
Here are some big bets that are big enough to be incorporated into your WNBA Finals future portfolio, as well as some Finals MVP dark horses.
Best bets for the 2024 WNBA future
Indiana Fever (+1800, FanDuel)
The Indiana Fever have been on a roll since returning from an extended All-Star break that included the 2024 Paris Olympics.
They have won eight of their last 10 games and are outscoring opponents by an average of 5.1 points.
Indiana boasts the best offense, third-highest rebounding percentage and highest effective field goal percentage among the Ws in that span.
Two players in particular have been key to the Fever's success: Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark.
Mitchell is averaging 24.9 points on 50% field goal shooting, 44% from three-point range and 91% from the free throw line over his last 10 games.
Very few players in the league can approach such high scoring potential while maintaining that level of efficiency over an extended period of time.
In addition to Mitchell, Clark has also been phenomenal – in fact, Clark has been one of the top five players in the league over the past month this season.
She is averaging 24.7 points, 9.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 46/39/94 from the field.
Defense remains an issue for the Fever, but if they can show some improvement defensively while maintaining their excellent efficiency offensively, teams will not want to miss seeing them in the playoffs.
Minnesota Lynx (+450, DraftKings)
Speaking of popular teams, none are more popular than the Minnesota Lynx.
Minnesota is 10-1 in their last 11 games and has outscored opponents by an average of 7.8 points per game.
The Lynx also have the second-best net rating (+10.0) and effective field goal percentage (57.5%).
Minnesota's offense is playing at an incredibly high level.
Combine that with a strong, pesky defense that has held opponents to the lowest field goal percentages (41.3%) and 3-point shooting percentages (30.1%) this season, and they're one to watch.
Frankly, if Minnesota continues to perform well on the offensive side of the court, they have the power to win the Finals.
Caitlin Clark wins WNBA Finals MVP (+2300, FanDuel)
If you believe the Indiana Fever will make a surprise appearance in the WNBA Finals despite likely entering the postseason as a No. 6 seed, you can bet on Clark to win WNBA Finals MVP at +2300 on FanDuel.
The fact that there is a +500 difference between the Fever winning the WNBA Finals and Clark winning Finals MVP makes no sense.
Clark is the driving force behind the Fever team.

A year ago, the Fever finished the season with 13 wins and 27 losses, finishing 10th in the W-League.
But Clark helped the team reach the playoffs and win at least six more games this season (with four games remaining) than last season.
Clark leads the league in assists and leads the team in points as a rookie. He also averages just under six rebounds per game, good for third on the team.
Even in a mediocre series, Clark's offensive usage rate and output are much higher than the next best player, allowing him to put up big numbers even on “off” shooting nights.
