Oh, and she\u2019s shooting 52.3 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bd\">Even though Miles plays for a team with the best record in the WNBA, the rookie\u2019s numbers just don\u2019t stack up to Wilson\u2019s. She has 5.9 win shares and is averaging less points (19.7), rebounds (4.6) and steals (1.3) per game. Miles is averaging 6.0 assists per night, but that isn\u2019t enough for the betting market to put her as the favorite to win MVP.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bi\">Miles ran away with the Rookie of the Year award, and the guard trio of her, Clark and Mitchell all put together terrific seasons. With only a few more games left in the regular season after the FIBA World Cup break, it\u2019s hard to see Wilson losing this lead unless the Aces lose out and drop way down the standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bn\">Even that likely wouldn\u2019t be enough given the numbers the star forward has put up in 2026. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bw\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c1\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c6\">Find Peter Dewey&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1BIvWO-S-TFepu-8DBiXfx10kJJ4Zi7ctpMBVYK9oCZQ\/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
