USA vs. Nigeria Prop
USA's depth was on full display in Sunday's 21-point win over Germany, the reserves combining for 52 of the team's 87 points. To that end, starting forward Breanna Stewart only needed to play 17 minutes, scoring 13 points as the Americans were in control for much of the contest. I can see a similar scenario play out on Wednesday, and I will roll with the under on Stewart's 17.5-point prop.

Prop Bet: Breanna Stewart UNDER 17.5 points (-113)
USA vs. Nigeria Best Bet
These countries last met during an Olympic qualifier in February, with Team USA cruising to a dominant 100-46 victory. That result underscores the apparent gap in talent and depth between the sides, and while I expect Nigeria to battle like they have all tournament, the Americans should be able to cover the 26.5-point spread.

Best Bet: USA -26.5 (-115)
