The world should have picked on that message when the Australians defeated Team USA in an exhibition match in Vegas. Moreover, Australia has been ranked ahead of Team USA, Spain, and the rest of the world by FIBA\u2019s official website\u2019s power rankings. This is a team that\u2019s littered with elite talents. Patty Mills is perhaps the most familiar with basketball fans, while other NBA players on the team include Aron Baynes, Dante Exum, Josh Green, Joe Ingles, and Matisse Thybulle. Australia shouldn\u2019t have a problem scoring and defending against Nigeria. After all, they have already shown that in their 108-69 thumping of Nigeria in Vegas despite Mills, Ingles, Baynes, and Matthew Dellavedova not playing. Instead, it was Chris Goulding and Duop Reath who led the Boomers with 21 and 17 points, respectively. Goulding was smoking hot in that game, as he went 7 of 7 from behind the arc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Nigeria (<a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/olympics\/basketball-men\">odds<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nigeria is set to appear in its third consecutive Olympics and the team it\u2019s sending to Japan is arguably the nation\u2019s strongest all-time. That\u2019s certainly reinforced by Nigeria\u2019s massive upset of the Americans in Vegas, beating Kevin Durant and company to the tune of a 90-87 score. Nigeria\u2019s outside shooting was too much for Team USA. Gabe Vincent finished with 21 points on the strength of a 6\/8 shooting from deep. As a team, Nigeria connected on 20 of 42 attempts from behind the arc. However, the Nigerians went just 8\/31 on 3-pointers in the aforementioned loss to Australia. Nevertheless, Nigeria is confident in the talent it has on the team. Among the NBA players on the roster are Precious Achiuwa, and KZ Okpala of the Miami Heat, Miye Oni of the\u00a0 Utah Jazz, Josh Okogie of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Jordan Nwora of the\u00a0 Milwaukee Bucks. Also on the team is Jahlil Okafor of the Detroit Pistons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia wins, 105-86.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\">Click here to make your 2021 Summer Olympics picks<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"170612\" 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;1,405&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia is not only the favorite to win Group B of the men\u2019s basketball tournament in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but also among the teams expected to medal.
