Clark has become the -650 favorite at DraftKings to win Rookie of the Year. The Chicago Sky's Angel Reese is +400. Clark is +12000 to win WNBA MVP.
Earlier this week, Clark was -550 to win MVP at ESPN BET while Angel Reese was +350.
"My rookie of the year is going to go based on the standings. … And the Sky right now are in the playoffs. So, you'd have to give the nod in my mind to Angel Reese."
