Summary

Rachel Nichols joins the Oddball crew again to talk more about summertime NBA shenanigans. The Olympics are around the corner, and Rachel will be in Paris to watch Team USA live in action. Kevin Durant still hasn't been seen in practice, and Rachel thinks it makes sense to rest him if you want him healed for the Olympics. DraftKings has released this season's NBA win totals, so naturally, the crew has to give their thoughts on the best win totals. Charlotte, Amin, and Rachel share their thoughts on the line for the team they are contractually obligated to discuss: The Lakers. To close the show, they do a heat check with Rachel Nichols for the Houston Rockets, Anthony Edwards, Summer League, and... the French?? Learn more about your ad choices.
