00:00And Joe, we got a gold medal basketball game coming up with Team USA taking on France.

00:13Ironically enough, right?

00:14You got the men's side taking on France for gold.

00:17You got the women tomorrow taking on France for gold.

00:19So the host nation is the only thing that stands in the way from both the men and women

00:24on the basketball side taking home the gold medal.

00:263.30 Eastern here today.

00:29What are some of the props you're looking at in this one?

00:32Yeah.

00:33Looking at this matchup, Joe, it's going to be absolutely fantastic.

00:36France has been so phenomenally strong defensively and Wemaiyama leading the charge in that area.

00:42I'm taking him for his rebounds, over 10.5 rebounds coming in at this one at plus 116.

00:47I expect him to be straight fire out there on the court.

00:51We can also look at his double-double.

00:53He can get those points on the board.

00:55The double-double is coming in at minus 135.

00:57So you'll have to lay the juice.

01:00And then LeBron James.

01:01I really do think we see that big game for LeBron in this one.

01:04He's been so phenomenally strong and I know Steph Curry really led that offense when they

01:09woke up in that last game versus Serbia, but I think LeBron comes back to form where he

01:14is the leader of this game.

01:16So I'm going to take LeBron for the double-double as well.

01:19He's coming in at plus 100.

01:21Now I'm expecting this game to be tighter than this spread.

01:24I have a hard time laying 16 here with Team USA.

01:28In that last game versus Serbia, I laid the eight and a half or nine and a half in the

01:32first quarter.

01:33And I think if you're looking to bet Team USA, it would be that first quarter I would

01:37look at again for them to come out nice and strong in that first quarter, but I'm expecting

01:42this to be a lower scoring game.

01:44Like I said, France with this defense is going to come out phenomenally strong.

01:48So I like France plus the points and the under 175 and a half in this, Joe, in those props.

01:56I, yeah, it's feels like a, just a crazy number, Joe, doesn't it?

02:01It like you, you do realize they barely won, like had to make a epic of all epic comebacks

02:08in against Serbia here.

02:11Now all of a sudden we think they're going to run away.

02:13It feels like the home crowd's going to have a big influence.

02:16I mean, to your point, if I'm Team USA, I need to silence the crowd as soon as possible,

02:22right, Joe?

02:23I don't need the entire country ripping and beating.

02:28I mean, that arena is going to be crazy.

02:29So I think that if they can come out swinging early, that's a pretty good way to look at

02:34it, Joe.

02:35Yeah, I would look at them coming out early in that one in that first quarter, but I do

02:39think France gets back into this game.

02:42And I think this is another opportunity for if Team USA goes down like they did versus

02:46Serbia to come back on Team USA on that money line, because I can still see them winning.

02:51I just think the spread, 16 points, that's a heck of a lot to lay with Team USA for the

02:57gold medal here.

02:59So if it drops, I bet it on the money line.
