Summary

Amin kicks off the show comparing Bronny James to other NBA players based on his performance from the NBA Draft Combine. Charlotte believes the Thunder's young core is a major advantage compared to other injury-plagued teams in the playoffs. Amin was at Game 4 between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets to see his prediction that Denver would even the series come true, and the Oddball research team found that teams who were down 0-2 at home in the playoffs have a slim chance of winning the championship. The Knicks were on fire, but they dropped the ball in their last two games after being plagued with injuries. Is coach Tom Thibodeaux running the starting five into the ground? After a hot preseason for the WNBA, they're looking to keep the ball rolling as Caitin Clark debuts in her first game tonight with the Indiana Fever. Learn more about your ad choices.
