Puerto Rico vs Spain Prediction

It’s just one game, but Puerto Rico looked awful in its opener, and you have to question if there’s enough offense to really make its mark in this event. Spain has work to do defensively, but it has a few players who can take over at the other end and that’s likely good enough in spots like this. Spain has been a solid team in recent Olympics and that’s the case here as well based on its opening performance. Puerto Rico didn’t fair well in the 2020 Olympics in women’s basketball, and it picked up right where it left off. Massive line, but I’m going to lay the points with Spain in a blowout.
