Serbia vs Puerto Rico Bet Builder Tips: Serbia Cruise to Another Victory
Serbia -14.5
Serbia started strong in the World Cup, beating China 105-63. The defence had some bad moments, but overall there wasn’t a question about the in.. They played great on both sides of the floor and managed to play with full rotation, so their main stars managed to remain rested and fit.
Their opponent today, Puerto Rico, already played against Serbia. It was a huge blowout, in which Serbia held a 50-point lead at one point.
And it is for a reason: Puerto Rico’s entire attack is dependent on their star player Tremont Waters. Serbia locked him down and ruined Puerto Rico’s offence with aggression.
Stefan Jović 3+ assists milestone
Jovic’s main role is to play point guard. The only player in the squad from which this is the role, he plays full time with high usage. He started the FIBA World Cup with 6 assists. In the preparation game, Stefan Jović had 11 assists against Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico plays with a fast pace, which will generate more possessions and more fastbreaks. The main PNR player of Serbia, Jovic should also have some easy pocket pass assists to Milutinov, as Puerto Rico’s drop defence allows that, so Milutinov can get into an easy position for a hook shot.
Tremont Waters under 17.5
Serbia should look to shut him down again. Puerto Rico struggles with creation, but not only that, Tremont is an important scorer. Serbia played denial in preparation games, looking to stop Tremont from even getting the ball, so Tremont finished with 11 points on just nine shots.
Also. Tremont probably won’t play as many minutes – The game against China is much more important for Puerto Rico and there is no need to waste energy in a game that is not winnable. He will be guarded a lot by Aleksa Avramović, who is one of the better ballhawk guards in the Euroleague, and a menace at high pressure.
Also, Milutinov is great at denying rim attempts from the pick and roll and is also a great rim protector. Tremont barely went over against South Sudan in overtime, and now he will face much better defence. We expect another defensive masterclass from coach Pesic’s side and an easy under for Tremont Waters.
