The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game isn’t just a break in the schedule. It’s one of the most exciting weekends on the basketball calendar. With stars like Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier squaring off in Indy, it’s a must-watch event for fans and a sneaky-good opportunity for bettors looking to get in on some fast-paced, high-scoring action.

2025 WNBA All-Star Game Details

The All-Star Game tips off on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at 8:30 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. ABC will broadcast the game in the U.S., with ESPN+ and Disney+ offering streams. In Canada, the broadcast partner is still TBA—watch for updates via TSN, Sportsnet, or WNBA League Pass.

Leading up to the game, don’t miss the STARRY 3‑Point Contest and Skills Challenge on Friday, July 18 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN—great tuning-in events and a source for betting props.

Injury Watch: Caitlin Clark’s Groin Flare-Up Puts All-Star Availability in Question

Just days before All-Star Weekend, Caitlin Clark tweaked her right groin late in Indiana’s 85–77 win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15, forcing her to exit the game and miss the Fever’s next matchup against the New York Liberty. 

This marks her second groin issue in recent weeks—and her tenth missed game of the season—which raises real doubts about her ability to participate in Friday’s 3‑Point Contest or even tip off as Team Clark’s captain on Saturday. Coach Stephanie White confirmed Clark underwent imaging but offered no firm timeline for her return, stressing that decisions about All‑Star involvement will be “day by day.” 

With Clark’s presence a major draw for local fans and a key confidence boost for her team, bettors should closely monitor updates leading into the weekend before locking in Any-Player props or moneyline bets involving her.

WNBA All-Star Betting and Strategies

1. Moneyline & Point Spread

Expect tight moneyline odds due to balanced talent. Team Clark may be slight favourites, given Clark’s momentum (if she plays) and home state support. Spreads will likely be narrow—pick-and-choose based on bench strength and player incentive .

2. Over/Under (Total Points)

All-Star Games typically soar past 239 total points (last year: 143–127). Public tends to favour the over, but keep an eye on Friday MVPs from the Skills/3‑Point contests .

3. Player Props

Top prop options include:

• Caitlin Clark: points, assists, 3‑pointers (coming off adjusted groin status)
• Paige Bueckers, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu: all have prop lines
• 3-point totals: watch sharps like Sabally, Ionescu, Bueckers

Props offer rich value, especially for rookies like Bueckers and debuting reserves.

4. Live (In-Play) Betting

All-Star Games have momentum swings; hot third quarters can yield profitable live bets on spreads or totals, especially if a star gets red-hot early.

Key Betting Tips

1. Check injuries: monitor Clark and Wilson’s status because moves may sweep prop value.
2. Scout the Friday contests: winners may carry momentum.
3. Gauge bench rotations: reserves like Reese or Plum could outperform in short bursts.
4. Split focus: diversify with moneyline, props, and totals… don’t overdrive parlays.
5. Watch live lines: odds shift fast when a star heats up or cools off.
