USA vs Puerto Rico prediction in 2024 Paris Olympics

As group play comes to an end, the United States is still figuring out its rotation. Jayson Tatum went from getting zero minutes against Serbia on Sunday to starting against South Sudan on Wednesday, and Joel Embiid did the exact opposite.

But it hasn't seemed to matter for Team USA, which is talented enough to overwhelm its opponent with whatever lineup it chooses to roll out. That should be the case once again when it faces a winless Puerto Rico team.

Prediction: USA 109, Puerto Rico 80
