Projected line: 190 points
These two teams faced each other in group stage, but we shouldn't pay too much attention on that game to study today's contest between these two teams, especially because their PG Prigioni didn't play, Scola didn't play in the 2nd and 4th quarters and Manu only played 25 minutes. In terms of tactics, Argentina played that game "the USA way", as according to my numbers, the pace of that game was 81.7 while their friendly game before the Olympics had had a pace of 74.50.
With Argentina being an undersized team, the United States would have in theory a huge edge down low, but that won't happen on the court, as the US team is completely focused on 3pts shooting and they have been amazing in that, as they showed against Argentina in the group stage with 20-39 3pts! However, Argentina has a great perimeter defense and they have the best IQ on this tournament, so I expect them to give different looks to the US offense, while the United States won't take full advantage of their edge down low.
Until now, every single game involving the US on this tournament went Over the total posted, something that sent the line of this game to an incredible 195 points. However, I believe Argentina will battle hard tonight and so, we have some edge on the Under. Take the Under in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Under 195 @ -110 / 1.91 on Betonline
