Azzi Fudd’s Odds To Go No. 1 Overall Continue To Surge Before Monday’s WNBA Draft

ARLINGTON, Texas — The market is moving — and it’s moving fast. Azzi Fudd‘s odds to go No. 1 overall to the Dallas Wings in tonight’s 2026 WNBA Draft have surged further on FanDuel Sportsbook, now sitting at -600 as draft night arrives. The implied probability at that number is approximately 85.7% — a meaningful jump from the -450 line posted earlier Monday.

The current FanDuel odds for the No. 1 overall pick:

What the Movement Means

Odds don’t move to -600 without reason. The line reflects a market that has largely made up its mind — and the betting public isn’t alone. ESPN returned to Fudd at No. 1 in its final mock draft published Monday. Dallas Hoops Journal also projects Fudd at the top spot in its final mock. FanDuel’s movement is consistent with a draft community that has coalesced around one answer in the final hours.

The Wings’ free agency activity drove the initial shift — signing Alanna Smith to a three-year max deal, adding Jessica Shepard, retaining Li Yueru, and bringing back Awak Kuier addressed frontcourt depth comprehensively before the draft began. With interior need no longer the dominant factor, Dallas’ most glaring remaining weakness entering tonight is perimeter shooting.

The Wings ranked last in the league in three-point attempts last season at 21.6 per game while converting at 30.4%. Fudd shot 44.5% from three on 263 attempts last season — 98th percentile by Synergy Sports, rated Excellent.

Notably, Olivia Miles has now fallen behind Lauren Betts in the odds, sitting at +1400 compared to Betts’ +1200. Both remain significant longshots at current numbers. Awa Fam at +650 is the only realistic alternative scenario the market is pricing in.

The 2026 WNBA Draft starts at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN from The Shed at Hudson Yards in New York City.
