Our Olympic betting picks expect Anthony Davis to take a backseat when a stacked American roster takes on Puerto Rico as heavy favorites.
Steve Kerr has been forced to make tough decisions with Team USA's lineup, and it may be Anthony Davis' turn to ride the pine when the Americans take on Puerto Rico as heavy favorites. Find out why in our latest Olympic basketball betting picks.Team USA is on the brink of locking up the No.1 overall seed ahead of the Olympic Men’s Basketball quarter-finals, as long as they take care of business against Puerto Rico.
Steve Kerr, in typical self-deprecating fashion, made it clear that it was a difficult choice. Given the team’s depth of talent, it’s inevitable that an awesome player is going to be riding the pine every game. Between Anthony Davis and Bam Adebayo, Anthony Davis seems the more likely candidate for me. He got elevated to the starting lineup over Embiid for the previous game, so it would not be seen as unfair if he then sat out in a game that Team USA should win easily.
The potential that Davis does not play at all tilts the play toward significant expected value, making it my favorite bet on Saturday.Steph Curry has not had much of an impact during his first Olympics. After some notable high points in the exhibition games, Steph is just 3-for-13 from downtown in the tournament.
