Spain vs. USA
Team USA dominated Hungary in their last contest, showing they can be a true offensive juggernaut. They need to keep that momentum going into the final two rounds. The rotation is still a complete head-scratcher, though. Head coach Kara Lawson seems content to keep the veterans in the starting lineup and have the younger generation come off the bench. It's the reason why we are siding against Team USA in the long run. That said, Spain may find it difficult to contend with the sizable depth advantage Team USA possesses.
Team USA is averaging 90.5 points through four games, and is shooting a respectable 47% from the field and 35% from three-point distance. If you eliminate the horror show against Italy, the numbers are much more favorable. Team USA put up an average of 102.3 points over the three other contests - while scoring at least 91 points in all three games. They have had a chance to rest as they navigate this accelerated schedule. We feel they can finish this contest with 91+ points.
Reese and Caitlin Clark are the perfect tandem, and until something changes that splits them up in the rotation, there's no reason to stop taking Reese’s points props (within reason). The Team USA forward is averaging 10 points over the last three games, on only five attempts per game.
Team USA Team Total 91+ Points (-110)
