PUERTO RICO VS SERBIA PREDICTION

Although Serbia may have been beaten last time out, they won’t face opposition of the USA’s quality for the remainder of the group stage. Puerto Rico are significantly weaker and coming off the back of defeat at the hands of South Sudan. There is no excuse for Serbia not to get the job done here and not only win, but do so comfortably.

Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic should absolutely dominate on court and prove far too powerful for the Puerto Rico defence to deal with. Expect him to rack up the points and for Serbia to come out on top with at least a -17.5 point spread.
