Similar to how some uneasy results in pre-tournament play led to a dominant run through the quarterfinals? For sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I also know that France will have a raucous home crowd behind it. I&#8217;m not calling for an upset here, but France should hang a little closer than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at what France did as an 8-point underdog against Canada and as a 5-point underdog against Germany. Victor Wembanyama was atrocious as a scorer in both games and it didn&#8217;t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wemby shot a combined 6-for-27 (and 1-for-14 from 3-point range) in those matchups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But teammates like Isaia Cordinier (6-for-10 from 3-point range) and Guerschon Yabusele (39 points) picked up the slack to help beat a pair of deeply talented teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now just imagine if Wembanyama turns in a better performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, I don&#8217;t think playing the what-if game is necessary. France has found other avenues to score, and Wemby provides elite value as a defender regardless of what he&#8217;s doing on the offensive end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USA has coasted to victory in most of its games. But the gold medal match should be more competitive than the spread indicates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> France has covered this spread in all 13 international games it&#8217;s played in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pick as of 1:40 p.m. ET on 08\/09\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After surviving a huge scare in the semifinals, Team USA is heavily favoured over host nation France in the Olympic men&#8217;s basketball tournament gold medal match.
