Before Betting on Serbia vs United States
Serbia won an absolute battle against Australia in the quarterfinals. They trailed by 14 points after the 1st quarter, but refused to give up, ultimately forcing overtime. After pulling away with the victory in OT, Serbia earned a rematch against the United States in the semifinals. They’ll need to get off to a much better start in this game to have a chance at getting revenge and making the finals. Nikola Jokić continued to look dominant in the victory, leading the way with 21 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals. He’ll be key again here.
The United States continued to look like the clear favorites to win gold after defeating Brazil. It was their 4th straight game scoring over 100 points, and a 35-point blowout. While Bruno Caboclo scored 30 of Brazil’s 87 points, the United States had a much more balanced attack. Six players reach double figures, highlighting the depth of talent on their bench. After defeating Serbia once already, the United States is highly favored to win.
Serbia vs United States Offshore Odds
The United States defeated Serbia by 26 points last week, and is poised to post a similar result in this game. While Serbia isn’t a lock to lose, they face an uphill climb against an American team that has dominated every single opponent they’ve faced. It will be up to Nikola Jokić to lead the way, but he’ll need a lot more support from his bench to overcome the overall talent gap. The Unites States should win this one and advance.
