USA VS SOUTH SUDAN PREDICTION

It took a clutch play from LeBron James for USA to get the better of South Sudan in a 101-100 thriller in London just over a week before this Olympic rematch. A match which saw South Sudan lead 58-42 at one stage. This underlines the ability of this South Sudan team and how well co-ordinated they are as a unit. They fulfilled their promise by beating Puerto Rico and now take a shot at history against a squad loaded with superstars.

Recently crowned NBA champion Jayson Tatum is expected to play for the USA after not getting on court this past Sunday, although whether he’ll be starting alongside the likes of LeBron and Steph Curry remains to be seen. Kevin Durant could command a start after starring off the bench vs Serbia but regardless of the line-up selected by Steve Kerr, the USA should be backed to secure a more convincing win over South Sudan on this occasion.
