Australia looks to clinch a quarterfinal berth as they lock horns with Greece on Friday at Pierre Mauroy Stadium, Lille, in Paris, France. The Aussies have a chance to come out of the Group Death if they can win this important game against Greece, who are desperate to win by a huge margin to stay in the tournament. Josh Giddey has been playing a spectacular all-around game in this Olympic Games, putting up 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the 92-80 win over Spain and then posting 19 points, 7 rebounds and six assists in the 93-83 loss to Canada. On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a one-man wrecking crew after dropping monster numbers in the past two games. The two-time NBA MVP racked up 34 points, five rebounds, and two assists in the 79-86 loss to Canada and then followed it up with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists in the 84-77 defeat to Canada.

Our Greece vs Australia Prediction
has beaten Greece in their last two international matches but Greece didn’t have Giannis back then. Giannis has been an unstoppable force of nature in this tournament, and I don’t think Australia has a player capable of stopping or, let alone containing the Greek Freak. I would say Giannis will do whatever they can to stay alive in this tourney, so I expect him to put ridiculous numbers in his final performance in this Olympics. DraftKings has listed Antetokounmpo at 28.5 points, which I believe he can outscore. Our betting prediction for Greece vs Australia: Bet on Giannis Antetokounmpo to score OVER 28.5 points, -125, at DraftKings.
