Olympic Games 07/28: Women's Basketball - Great Britain vs Australia

Olympic Games - Women's Basketball - Great Britain vs Australia

After tracking all the friendly games played before the Olympics, it's clear that the British team is clearly the team that plays with a faster pace, even faster than the US team. If we had to compare the British team to a WNBA team, they would be the Phoenix Mercury of FIBA. 

On the other hand, Australia is the second best team on this competition and they have two great post players in Lauren Jackson and Liz Cambage. These two teams faced each other on a friendly in mid-July, with Australia scoring 42 points in the paint. Australia won't have problems in scoring on a fast paced game and so, this line of about 140 points doesn't fully represent the quick pace and the efficiency Australia will have on this game. Therefore, I will be taking the Over on this contest.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Over 140.5 @ -107 / 1.93 on Pinnacle
