Latvia Betting Preview

Latvia has been quite the Cinderella story and they have only lost one game so far in the tournament. That loss came against Canada and the defense really struggled in that game giving up 75 points. Since that point though they have beaten Spain and Brazil. In that game against Brazil the offense was strong scoring 104 points and that was enough to secure the 20 point victory. Andrejs Grazulls had a strong game finishing with 24 points, five assists, and three rebounds. There were four different players that finished with at least 10 points. The one game the defense struggled giving up the 104 points and in this game it’s going to be important that the defense is strong here.
