USA vs Germany Bet Builder Tips: States Set For Final Appearance
USA moneyline
The USA bounced back in emphatic fashion by hammering Italy. Perhaps the slip up was just what they needed to focus their minds ahead of the knockout phase.
While Germany have been excellent in this tournament, and looked like a well-oiled machine against Latvia in the quarter-finals, there’s no denying they are at a considerable talent disadvantage in this one.
We don’t feel confident enough to take the USA -10.5, but the moneyline is a solid option for the purposes of a bet builder.
Moritz Wagner over 4.5 rebounds
It’s no secret the USA are undersized with Jaren Jackson Jr and Paolo Banchero sharing centre duties. They were battered on the boards in their surprise loss to Lithuania, with the European team claiming 43 rebounds to the USA’s total of 27.
Germany will look to hammer home their size advantage in this one. Standing at 6’11 and averaging 5.7 rebounds per game in this World Cup, look for Moritz Wagner to crash the glass hard. He’s had multiple offensive rebounds in each of the last three games and will be a threat on the offensive glass when Jackson chases blocks. This number is too low even if Wagner only players 16 or 17 minutes.
Anthony Edwards over 17.5 points
This is the sort of stage Anthony Edwards loves. Edwards might have only scored three points on six shots against Italy, but we’re expecting Steve Kerr to try and get him going early in the semi-final.
As good as Germany’s defence has been, they have their work cut out trying to stay in front of Edwards. He’s surely going to get well into the twenties in minutes here, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he gets up 18+ field goal attempts.
