There are four squads left in the 2024 Summer Olympics men’s basketball bracket, and bettors can now back either the United States or France to win it all.
After failing to medal at last year’s FIBA World Cup, Team USA is looking to bounce back by capturing its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
However, the Americans almost missed their golden opportunity in Paris.
In a game in which they trailed by as many as 17 points, Steph Curry powered the USA to a narrow 95-91 victory over Serbia.
The Golden State guard led all scorers in this thrilling matchup with 36 points.
“It’s gotta be one of the best medal-round performances by anybody ever,” co-host Nick Wright said about Curry on “First Things First.”
While Team USA advances to the final to face the host nation France, Serbia will now face Germany in the third-place game,
Let’s take a look at the odds for the final two games via FanDuel Sportsbook as of Aug. 9.
