Greece vs Spain Prediction & Picks - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece face a win-now scenario against an equally desperate Spain in men's basketball competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Antetokounmpo, the two-time NBA MVP, played up to his billing as one of the most dominant scorers in basketball after dropping 34 points on 64.7 FG% in Greece's 79-86 loss to Canada. With Greece entering Tuesday's clash down 0-1 in the standings, they are facing a must-win game against Spain. Spain's opening day loss to Australia 92-80 exposed the team's lack of defensive specialists as Patty Mills and Josh Giddey torched them all game long. Santiago Aldama tallied 27 points, while Sergio Llull added 17 points in the losing effort to the Aussies. Still, the window of opportunity to advance into the next round is not closed yet. A win over Greece on Tuesday, no matter how brutal it would be, would keep them a clear path to securing the No.2 spot in their group or becoming the best third place finisher.

Our Greece vs Spain Prediction
Giannis Antetokounmpo's player points prop jumped from 25.5 points vs Canada to 29.5 points vs. Spain after his 34-point explosions. Giannis will come into the match against Spain knowing a loss could eliminate the, from the tournament. Expect to put the matter into his own hands and do everything he could to beat this tough Spanish side. Again, Spain's lack of a defensive stopper would hurt their ability to defend Giannis in a beast mode. Our betting prediction for Spain vs Greece: Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 29.5 points, -120, at DraftKings.
