Serbia enters Sunday’s match at the fresh off of two international friendly wins against Greece and Japan after losing to the USA on the 17th. Nikola Jokić and Bogdan Bogdanović have both been able to lead the team to a ton of success, even against top talent like Giannis Antetokounmpo.
After dominating their last five international friendly matches, Team USA will be looking to put the Serbians out of the game early. They simply have no holes in their armor, and while Jokić will likely outplay Anthony Davis and Joel Embiid down low, the USA’s depth should be the deciding factor when making a Serbia vs USA prediction.
Going into the 2024 Summer Olympics, Team USA is the heavy favorite to win it all. They have a star-studded team full of the best players in the world. No matter where you look, Team USA has it covered, with shooters, rim runners, slashers, and defensive monsters.
That being said, Nikola Jokić should be able to put in some work down low and form the top of the key, forcing Team USA to rely more on their guards and shooting. With Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and even Jayson Tatum shooting from beyond the arc, it’ll be hard to slow them down.
Serbia does have a chance going into the game, but it will require a herculean performance by both Jokić and Bogdan Bogdanovic. And unfortunately, adding insult to injury, if either Jokic or Bogdanović manage to have a show-out game, they’ll likely be double-teamed at half-court.
Bet hereWhile we may be picking Team USA to win the game overall, it’s unlikely that any one player on America’s side will have a fantastic performance. When you fill a team with so much talent, it becomes quite hard for players to get as many touches as they usually would on their NBA team.
When you have seven guys shooting over 34% from the three-point line, you’re going to spread the floor instead of dumping to just one guy.
Serbia, on the other hand, doesn’t have the privilege of having multiple all-time greats on the floor at once. Nikola Jokić will likely have to do everything on the court, from getting key boards and blocks to setting up the offense and shooting from beyond the arch.
This increased usage rate should lead the big Serbian to easily score more than 30 points by the end of the match. As long as Jokic isn’t double or triple-teamed every single time he touches the ball, his shooting and ability to make it to the basket should let him put on a scoring showcase.
