Greece vs Germany Prediction
Greece is going to have a punchers chance because they have the best player on the floor in Giannis Antetokounmpo. The problem is Greece doesn’t have much else, and it usually takes more than one player to advance in the knockout stages when the opponents are good. Germany is making an early case as being the second best teams in the field and possibly the biggest threat to Team USA. Germany can score at an above average clip and gets after it defensively as well. There’s a toughness to this Germany team, and it plays with an edge. You have to be impressed with this Germany team through 3 games, and I’m not excited to step in front of it. Give me the Germans for another win and cover.
