The France Team Preview
France is under pressure and for sure on the hot seat being the host nation of the Olympics, and a defeat in this match would be highly disappointing for them. While France did win in the first two games of the tournament, they faced significant challenges in the last match against Germany. Despite the offense scoring 71 points, the defense performed poorly, conceding 85 points, resulting in a 14-point loss. Victor Wembanyama delivered a strong performance with 14 points and 12 rebounds, while Evan Fournier contributed 10 points, connecting on 2 of his 3 three-point attempts. Isaïa Cordinier also scored 10 points, making 4 of 7 shots from beyond the arc. It is crucial for France to get their bench production going in this game and improve their defensive stops. Can they pick up a win here!
The Canada Basketball
Team Preview
The Canada men's basketball team has had an impressive start to the Olympics, winning all three games at the beginning of the tournament. In the recent match against Spain, Canada scored 88 points and secured a victory by a three-point margin. Despite trailing going into the 4th quarter, they managed to outscore Spain 29-24, securing the win. The team collectively had a shooting percentage of 52.5 from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the three-point line. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 20 points, making only 1 of his 4 attempts from long range, while RJ Barrett added 16 points. Andrew Nembhard, coming off the bench, scored 18 points and successfully made 2 of his 3 three-point attempts. If they continue to get guys going like that this will be a tough team to stop in my opinion.
The France vs Canada
Game Prediction
The Pick: France +8 -110
Canada is expected to dominate in this game, and i understand why. I'm factoring in the impact of the home crowd on France should not be underestimated, especially considering the talent of the French team. Wembanyama is likely to deliver another impressive performance for France, contributing to keeping them competitive in the game. It is anticipated that Canada's defense will face challenges once more, with France expected to score sufficiently to keep the game tight. Therefore, its a good time and game to bet on France to cover the spread.
