The WinBA Index

The WinBA Index: the WNBA’s top players for October 2026

Olivia Miles leads at 87 from A'ja Wilson at 86, with 196 qualified players ranked on PropBetEdge’s winning-impact rating for October 2026.

Olivia Miles finishes October 2026 at the top of WinBA Score, PropBetEdge’s winning-impact rating, with a mark of 87 for the Minnesota Lynx on 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6 assists a game.

A'ja Wilson is a stride behind at 86, close enough that Olivia Miles’ hold on the top spot is not settled.

WinBA Score is built only from completed WNBA games: Box Impact (points plus 1.2 times rebounds plus 1.5 times assists) measured per 36 minutes against the league, the player’s win rate, the share of her production that came in wins, and her court share. It is an association-with-winning index, not a causal estimate of wins added. 196 players qualified for the league ranking, which takes at least 10 appearances or 250 minutes.

What the rankings say

The top 10 won 67% of the games they played. Because a quarter of WinBA Score is win rate and a fifth is the share of production that came in wins, the board rewards players whose output arrives in victories — which is why it is read as a winning-impact rating rather than a volume leaderboard.

Every player in the top 10 sits at or above the 89th percentile of Box Impact per 36, so none of these ratings rests on playing time alone.
