France vs Japan Prediction & Picks - Men's Olympic Tournament

 by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks

Victor Wembanyama impressed his Olympic debut, leading France to an emphatic 78-66 win over Brazil on Sunday. Will the Spurs big man continue to dominate the competition? France scored their first win of their men’s basketball campaign after a surgical win over Brazil, 78-66. Wembanyama recorded 19 points on 53.8 FG% along with 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Nicolas Batum also chipped in 19 points for France, who will try to improve on their silver medal finish at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago. Facing France on Tuesday are Asia’s lone representative in this Summer Games, Japan. The Japanese squad had no match against the defending World Cup champion as Germany cruised to an easy 97-77 win. Rui Hachimura racked up 20 points and 10 rebounds while Yuta Watanabe tallied 16 points for Japan, who are making their second straight appearance in Olympic men’s basketball.

Our France vs Japan Prediction

France’s victory over Japan is inevitable unless a major collapse happens in Paris. Victor Wembanyama is a special talent and has shown the world why he’s viewed as the next face of the NBA for many years to come. DraftKings listed Wembanyama’s player points props at 22.5 points, suggesting the bookmaker’s growing respect for the Spurs forward’s ability to pile up the points. With Japanese frontline rotation a bit thin, I expect Wembanyama to have another big outing in a blowout game against Japan. However, he won’t have much time to exceed 22 points this time around since France will strategically save his energy for the upcoming big game against Germany. Our betting prediction for Germany vs. Japan: Bet on Victor Wembanyama to score UNDER 22.5 points, -105, at DraftKings.

Prediction:

Victor Wembanyama UNDER 22.5 points.
