USA vs Nigeria Prediction & Picks - Olympic Matches Women

 by Lou Aguila | in Basketball Picks

The United States women’s basketball team entered the knockout phase of the tournament at the 2024 Paris Games facing massive expectations to deliver another golden performance. On Wednesday, Team USA will gun for a place in the semifinals as they take on rising power Nigeria at Accor Arena in Paris. As expected, the Americans have breezed through the competition in group play. They clobbered Japan 102-76, Belgium 87-74 and Germany 87-76 to clinch the No.1 seed in the quarterfinal pool. Team USA are out to claim the gold medal in 5x5 women’s basketball for seventh consecutive Olympics, a streak that began at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Meanwhile, Nigeria are enjoying a historic Olympic run after posting their first set of victories for their nation. The Nigerians kicked off their campaign with a shocking 75-62 win over perennial finals contender Australia and then wrapped up group play with a 79-70 win over Canada. Their only loss came against the host country France, 75-54.

USA vs Nigeria - Other Interesting Picks

Total UNDER 155.5

Odds +110

Never mind Team USA’s ability to score the ball. That’s given. You should be concerned about Nigeria’s offense, which produced under 70 points per game in the group stages. Remember, France stifled the Nigerians to just 54 points in a 40-minute basketball game. Imagine what Team USA’s relentless defense can do against them. For that reason, our betting prediction for USA vs. Nigeria: Back Under 155.5 points, +110, at BetMGM.

A'Ja Wilson OVER 20.5 points

Odds -110

A'Ja Wilson will be out there dropping another 25-game performance like she usually does. The Nigerians might have several players athletic enough to contain Wilson, but they are not of the same caliber as the two-time WNBA MVP. Needless to say, Expect another dominant scoring display from the Las Vegas Aces star. Our betting prediction: A’Ja Wilson Over 20.5 points, -110, at DraftKings.
