Team USA vs. WNBA All-Stars picks and predictions

Prediction

Team USA 102, WNBA All-Stars 91

Moneyline

Team USA (-250) will set you back 2½ times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

In addition, the U.S. Olympics entry, while superstars in their own right in the WNBA, haven’t played together enough ahead of Paris, so we might see some disjointed play as they attempt to build some chemistry. Expect the play to be a little choppy early on, although they’re the best of the best and we should see Team USA pull away in the end.

PASS on the expensive moneyline.

Against the spread

Lay the points with TEAMS USA -6.5 (-105), although, again, this team is playing its 1st real game together, and you can expect a bit of a slow start against a star-studded Team WNBA side.

In fact, backing the WNBA ALL-STARS +3.5 (-125) with the points on the FIRST-HALF LINE is a recommended play.

Over/Under

OVER 187.5 (-115) is a strong play in this star-studded affair in the desert.

Team USA has the potential to hit triple digits in this Olympic tune-up, and Clark, Reese and company will give them all they can handle before fading away in a high-scoring 2nd half of action.
