The WNBA All-Star Game is set to feature Team Coop, led by Paige Bueckers, against Team Spoon, captained by Caitlin Clark. The exhibition game, which follows a few days' break in the regular season, will pit players selected by fan votes, players, and coaches against each other.
Team Coop boasts a roster with a strong contingent of guards. Paige Bueckers is highlighted as a primary attraction, known for her scoring, playmaking, and defense. The team also includes Kahleah Copper, recognized as an elite finisher; Marina Mabrey, a noted outside shooter; Sonia Citron, a promising young scorer; and Kelsey Mitchell, a versatile scorer. Breanna Stewart, a consistently top player, and Angel Reese, known for her consistent energy, are also part of Team Coop.
Team Spoon is led by Caitlin Clark, whose inclusion as an All-Star is attributed to both popularity and on-court performance. Clark is expected to focus on passing and facilitating rather than high-volume scoring in this exhibition. The team is otherwise comprised of forwards and centers, including Aliyah Boston, who plays alongside Clark on their WNBA team, and A'ja Wilson, considered the league's best player. Other forwards and centers on Team Spoon include Jonquel Jones, Nneka Ogwumike, and Kiki Iriafen. Olivia Miles is noted as a player who could contribute significant scoring for Team Spoon.
Past WNBA All-Star Game scores have varied, with totals reaching 282 points in 2025, 226 in 2024, 270 in 2023, and 246 in 2022. The over/under for the current game is set at 277.5. A betting preview suggests this total may be high, with Team Coop potentially having a greater likelihood of higher scoring due to their guard-heavy lineup. The game's venue, the United Center, is also mentioned as a location that can present shooting challenges for players.
Betting predictions favor Team Coop, including taking the points as they are projected to receive +3.5. The analysis suggests that Team Coop's guards may be more energetic and prepared for a faster-paced game with less defensive intensity compared to Team Spoon. The presence of Clark and Wilson on Team Spoon is seen as a factor influencing the point spread.
