Spain vs Greece Prediction
As I mentioned in my previous write-up, Spain just isn't as talented as it's been in past years. The Gasol brothers and others are no longer around. Greece isn't the most talented team in the world either, and the lack of consistent offense is a concern. With all that said, this is a must win for both teams and Greece has the best player in Giannis Antetokounmpo. You'd have to think Antetokounmpo can put together a good enough performance to get Greece over the hump. Also, Greece hung around with a good Canada team despite shooting extremely poor from the field. The line is somewhat reasonable. Give me Greece and the 4.5 point chalk.
Randy’s Pick Greece -4.5
