Serbia vs Puerto Rico Prediction & Picks - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks
Serbia and Puerto Rico are headed into a virtual do-or-die match on Wednesday after losing both their Group B matches in the 5x5 men’s basketball competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Serbia will try to bounce back from a 110-88 humiliation handed to them by arguably the best team in the tournament, Team USA, on the opening night of the competition. Nikola Jokic, who recorded 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, is expected to lead his Serbian side against a tough and scrappy Puerto Ricans, who are still licking their wounds after their getting upset by South Sudan, 79-90. Puerto Rico is making a return in Olympic basketball after several years of absence. However, their first game in Paris saw them being on the wrong end of history as South Sudan registered their first-ever win in Olympic men’s basketball. Jose Alvarado poured in 26 points in his Olympic debut, while Tremont Waters added 18 for the Puerto Ricans.

Our Serbia vs Puerto Rico Prediction
Expect Serbia to overwhelm the Puerto Ricans with their sheer size and skills alone. Serbia has been a perennial contender in men’s basketball for the last three decades, and they have high hopes to medal again this year after missing the podium in the last Olympics. Nikola Jokic is going to be a key factor in this game since Serbia’s offense revolves around his all-around brilliance. Although the Puerto Ricans have beaten a number of solid European teams on their way to Paris, these teams are not on the same class as the FIBA World Cup runners-up that has just added three-time NBA MVP in the mix. Our betting prediction for Serbia vs. Puerto Rico: Bet on Serbia to cover a -17.5 point spread, -110, at BetMGM.
