Nikola Jokic will play for the Serbs at the Olympics, which should automatically make them the tournament favourites. However, in reality, it's not like that. Firstly, unlike Denver, Jokic doesn't have partners of such a level as Jamal Murray and Michael Porter on the Serbian team. Secondly, it seems that head coach Svetislav Pesic is not fully unlocking the star centre's potential. Jokic rarely gives up even five assists per game for the national team. For example, in a friendly game against the same Americans, he made only two assists.
In addition to the crushing defeat to the USA (79:105), Serbia defeated Japan (119:110), Greece (94:72) and France (79:67) in July friendlies, but lost to Australia (73:84).
USA
The Americans have been criticised for their friendly matches. And rightly so - the team really didn't play very well. However, the USA's class of performers is so much higher than everyone else's that even with their poor play, they took five matches out of five. We've already mentioned the defeat of the Serbs, and the USA also handled Canada (86:72), Australia (98:92), South Sudan (101:100) and Germany (92:88).
Expert Betting Tips
The Americans' potential is very high. Even if the Stars and Stripes fail to establish teamwork, they can win the Olympics simply because of the level of their individual performers. We believe that the USA will have a tough time against Serbia, unlike in the recent friendlies, but they will still win by scoring more than their opponents.
