Brazil vs France Prediction & Picks - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks
All eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama as he makes his Olympic debut on Saturday, July 27, when France clashes with South American heavyweight Brazil on Day 1 of the men’s basketball competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. France will be parading one of the tallest frontline combos in the history of men’s basketball in the Olympics. Four-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert teams up 7-foot-5 Wembanyama, the DPOY runner-up, to form an intimidating tandem that will anchor France’s defense throughout their campaign. Meanwhile, Brazil caught the last trip to Paris after coming out on top of the FIBA Olympic Qualifier in Latvia. The Brazilians will be fielding several former NBA players, such as Marcelo Huertas and Bruno Caboclo. The South Americans will attempt to end their decades-long medal drought in men’s basketball at the Olympics. They last won a medal (bronze) in this event at the 1964 Olympics.

Our Brazil vs France Prediction
Victor Wembanyama scored 24 and 27 points in France's first two warmup games, against Turkey and Germany, respectively. With DraftKings booking him at 18.5 points, I believe he has a strong chance of exceeding that figure, considering that France will run the majority of their offense around Wembanyama and his outstanding ability to score buckets in and out of the shaded lane. Furthermore, no one in Brazil's frontline rotation can stop the 7-foot-5 sensation, so expect him to dominate on the first day of basketball play. Our betting predictions for France vs. Brazil: Victor Wembanyama OVER 18.5 points, -120, at DraftKings.
