Angel Reese in Line for Unprecedented WNBA Feat After Finals MVP Odds Drop

Angel Reese is on the brink of achieving an unprecedented trifecta in WNBA history, with the Atlanta Dream forward poised to win Defensive Player of the Year, the rebounding title, and Finals MVP in the same season. Reese already leads the league in rebounds for the third time in her career, averaging 12.1 boards per game and breaking records for total (521) and offensive rebounds (206).

Her dominance on the glass includes a single-game high of 26 rebounds, surpassing the previous mark set in 2003, while she also set a new standard for double-doubles in a single season. Beyond her offensive prowess, Reese’s defensive impact is undeniable—her presence on the floor slashes the Dream’s defensive rating by 13 points, a league-leading swing.

With the Dream sweeping both the Mystics and Liberty in the playoffs, Reese has stepped up in key moments, averaging 20.7 points per game in the Liberty series while shooting 47.7% from the field and 57.1% from three-point range. Now, as the WNBA Finals approach against the Golden State Valkyries, Reese’s path to becoming the first player in league history to win all three accolades in a single season grows clearer.
