Olympic Games 08/04: Men's Basketball - Australia vs Great Britain


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

Projected line: 148 points

Australia has been playing some excellent defense since the start of this competition and they are coming from a game where they completely shutdown the Chinese frontcourt by allowing them just 12 points in the paint. They are a very organized team and they will face a British team today that needs a good game from their frontcourt unit in order to be competitive in their contests. Against a good Australian defense, I expect Luol Deng, Joel Freeland, Pops Mensah-Bonsu and the rest of their team mates to struggle on offense today.

On the other hand, Australia has a better backcourt, but they are struggling from the outside on this tournament, with 4-22, 4-24 and 8-24 3pts on their first three games. Both teams are quite aggressive, so I expect a lot of physical basketball to be played on this contest. My line for this contest is at 148 points and so, I'll be taking the Under in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Under 152.5 @ -108 / 1.92 on Pinnacle
