Olympic Men’s Basketball Final Betting Preview
Despite a close call in the semi-finals against Serbia, Team USA are firm favourites to win the Olympic Men’s Basketball final against France.
The Americans are the No. 1 seed and have been the favourites to lift gold throughout the tournament. Still, they were pushed all the way in Thursday’s semi-final, overturning a 13-point deficit in the final quarter to run out 95-91 winners.
Still unbeaten this summer, going 10-0 in warm-ups and 5-0 in the Olympics, the US have a plus-103 point differential, outscoring opponents by an average of 20.6 points per game in Paris.
France, on the other hand, have not been as dominant, going 2-1 in the group stages, needing overtime to beat Japan and losing by 14 points to Germany.
Scoring has been an issue for France, with their highest point total in the tournament being 94, while the US has scored at least 95 points during regulation in every game.
After surviving their first real scare in the semis, Team USA proved they can win when the going gets tough - the side loaded with superstars who have won multiple NBA Finals, such as LeBron James and Steph Curry.
The Franch are playing on home soil and has one of the best players in the world in Victor Wembanyama, but expect another gold medal for the Americans.
