  • The 2022 WNBA season tips off Friday, and a deep pool of stars are vying for this year's MVP award.
  • We ranked the players most likely to win the league's top individual honor, per FanDuel.
  • The last two WNBA MVPs — Jonquel Jones and A'ja Wilson — have the best odds of earning the honor.

The WNBA's 2022 campaign tips off Friday night with a slate of four games. The Indiana Fever will face the Washington Mystics at 7 p.m. ET, followed by the Los Angeles Sparks taking on the reigning-champion Chicago Sky at 8 p.m. ET. At 10 p.m. ET, the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury will play at the same time as the Seattle Storm and Minnesota Lynx.

But before the action gets underway for the WNBA's 26th season, Insider ranked the players most likely to win the league's top individual honor based on FanDuel's preseason odds:
