USA vs. Puerto Rico: Where to Watch
Date: Saturday, Aug. 3 | Time: 11:15 a.m. ET
TV channel: NBC | Live stream: Peacock
USA Basketball Player PropsUSA Anthony Davis OVER 8.5 Rebounds (+114)
In their last game, Puerto Rico was crushed on the boards 54-24 by Serbia, led by Nikola Jokic. This sets the stage for Anthony Davis to dominate the glass. Having played 19 minutes in each USA game, Davis is primed for a big rebound performance. He’s a fantastic value at plus money.
USA Bam Adebayo OVER 8.5 Points (-113)
Bam Adebayo had a strong showing versus South Sudan, scoring a team-leading 18 points in 21 minutes. With the Americans resounding favorites, Adebayo should get ample playing time and scoring opportunities against Puerto Rico’s weak defense.
USA Stephen Curry OVER 2.5 Made Threes (-125)
After hitting three triples in the Olympic opener, Stephen Curry had an off night from beyond the arc on Wednesday, going 0-for-6. Expect a bounce-back effort from the greatest shooter in the sport.
