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."
