Iran vs USA 7/28/21 - Olympic Games Picks & Predictions

The USA team is coming here after losing in their opening game. The loss was the first since 2004 for Team USA in the Olympics. However, the loss was a close battle and was against a French team that has quite a few NBA stars on the roster and it was an 83-76 score. 

Jrue Holiday ended up coming in for team USA to lead the team in scoring with only 18 points, but did get 7 boards. Bam Adebayo ended up getting 12 points and 10 boards. However, outside of that that the scoring for Team USA was very sporadic in how it ended up.

As was expected the Iranian team ended up losing in their opening game. The Iran club lost to the Czech Republic by a score of 84-78. The loss was a major disappointment for the Iran club who would have liked to pull off the upset. 

The leader for the Iranian team was Behnam Yakhchali who put in 23 points. The second high scorer was Mohammad Jamshidi who put in 16 points. The second high scorer for the team completed a double-double was Hamed Haddadi who had 15 points and 10 boards. 

A 35 point spread for Team USA may be something that normally would have been feasible. However, the team USA team is one that has not been playing good on the season so far and looked disjointed and lost against the French team. Look for Iran to keep the game close enough to prevent Team USA from covering the spread, but not close enough to win the game. Final Score Prediction, Team USA wins, but fails to cover 88-67.
