Brazil has a good team especially in the frontcourt and in the PG position, with Marcelinho Huertas. However, they have a lot of problems in handling the ball and they have no depth in the bench. At the same time, Australia is a very underrated team. I watched some games of them recently and they really impressed me, especially in how well they are organized. They have a great coach and all plays they run on offense are smooth.
These two teams played a friendly game recently and Brazil won by 87-71. This was a game where Australia actually shot better than Brazil (46% vs 44% FG), but they committed 21 turnovers, while Brazil committed just 7. I believe Australia didn't want to play their best in that game or at least try not to show their strategy for today's Olympic debut game, especially when in the following day, with some starters playing over 30 minutes, they defeated France. I expect a tight game in here and so, I'll take Australia today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Australia (+7) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
