SERBIA VS USA PREDICTION

The overwhelming gold medal favourites USA have a squad that could be considered the basketball equivalent of the Avengers. Coached by Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, USA boasts multiple NBA Finals MVPs such as the Warriors’ Steph Curry and LA Lakers’ LeBron James. Then you have the likes of Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Haliburton, all of whom boast multiple individual accolades.

However, Serbia can call upon an NBA Finals MVP of their own in the monster that is Nikola Jokic. Stopping the Denver Nuggets phenom from scoring can be nigh-on impossible and he gives Serbia a fighting chance in this opening game. Expect a high-scoring game when considering the plethora of world class talent on the court and over 182.5 points to be scored overall may well be on the cards.

SERBIA VS USA TIP: GAME TOTALS - OVER 182.5
