Puerto Rico vs USA Prediction
Things are not going well for Puerto Rico so far at the Olympics Men’s basketball. They already lost their opening 2 matches 79-90 and 66-107 to South Sudan and Serbia. This means that Puerto Rico have been eliminated from the tournament, but they can save face with a historic win against the USA, favorites for the gold, but it will definitely not be an easy task.
The star-studded USA team, led by Lebron James, have shown they mean business by beating two of the top teams in this tournament to qualify for the quarter-finals with one group game to spare. The USA beat Serbia 110-84 in their opening match before dismissing fancied South Sudan 103-86 in the second game to top their group. With match winners all over the team, another victory is expected here for team USA.
Puerto Rico have lost all their last 5 matches, including their two opening group games at the Olympics. In contrast the USA have been cruising, with 5 wins in their last 5 games. They have also beaten Puerto Rico in all the last 5 head-to-head meetings. We expect another easy victory for the USA here with a gap of more than 32 points. Our Puerto Rico vs USA prediction is Handicap +32.5 USA Win.
