LAS VEGAS – Three of the best players the world has to offer are all favored to play in the Olympics for Team USA in LeBron James, Kevin Durant and James Harden. Of these three, the odds suggest Harden is the most likely to participate in the Olympics while LeBron is the least likely.
Will LeBron James Play?
Betting on LeBron James to play in the Olympics may not be the best play. James has had some injury issues this year, had the shortest offseason of his career and claims he may never be 100% healthy again.
Online sportsbooks list James’ odds to play at -180 and not to play at +140. It seems that a lot of factors point towards James deciding to opt out, however it is likely his last chance to compete in the Olympics which could drive him to participate.
James played in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics, but opted out of the 2016 Olympics after winning a championship.

- Yes -180
- No +140
Will Kevin Durant Play?
Kevin Durant has had his fair share of injuries as well, but has played extremely well this season when on the court. Durant, if healthy, should find himself representing Team USA. With that said, nothing is guaranteed and an injury could keep him out or he could decide to rest up.
