Unlike their male counterparts, the women\u2019s basketball team is having zero trouble pounding their opponents. In their latest display of superiority, US pulverized China for a 105-62 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Tina Charles and Brittney Griner were simple untouchable against the Chinese. Charles went off for 18 points on 9-for-13 shooting, while Griner also scored 18 points while hauling down 13 rebounds. This frontline tandem of Charles and Griner should remain a headache against Japan, which is second worst in the tournament in rebounding with just 22.6 boards per contest. The US, on the other hand, is racking up 31.6 RPG.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the US can score from anywhere on the floor. They\u2019re hitting 42.5% of their shots from beyond the arc while averaging 58.0 points in the paint per game.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Japan (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/olympics\/basketball-women\">+37.5<\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>Japan can certainly play basketball but the question is whether they can hang around Team USA? Japan are the surprise of the tournament so far, having defeated higher ranked opponents like Brazil and France.<\/p>\n<p>Ranked 16<sup>th<\/sup> in the world, Japan was also able to make Group A leader Australia sweat with a close 92-86 loss. Japan had a 12-point cushion entering the fourth period of that match before collapsing.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Japan\u2019s a pesky team that could give USA fits. What they lack in size, the Japanese make up in speed, as they average 11.6 fastbreak points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Japan also have one of the best scorers in the tournament in the form of Ramu Tokashiki, who is fourth in Rio with 17.6 PPG.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The USA blows Japan to bits and covers the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/olympics\/basketball-women\">-37.5<\/a>\u00a0spread easily.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup?MyAffiliatesID=tHoj7h5rVoR9Y2AKzN0Zf2Nd7ZgqdRLk\" target=\"_blank\">Create a betting account now<\/a> to win big from the huge number of Olympic betting lines that we have to offer!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/44\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-114101 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2016-Summer-Olympics-News-Banners-620x110-V1.gif\" alt=\"2016-Summer-Olympics---News-Banners-620x110-V1\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"116568\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,861&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USA vs. Japan Women\u2019s Basketball Preview Where: Rio de Janeiro, Carioca Arena 1 When: Tuesday, August 16, 7:75 PM ET Line: USA (-37.5) vs. Japan (+37.5); total: 173.5 \u2013 view<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"116568\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,861&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":116648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15362,393,42],"tags":[16235,16236,16237,17051,2327,2442,1530,17052,16659,16660,16661,16662,1108,17053,4465,17054,17055],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
