Teams Preview

France

France has made its second consecutive finals appearance after defeating Germany 73-69 in the semi-final round. They excelled on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor to clinch the victory.   

Guerschon Yabusele has been a difference-maker in his two starts, averaging 19.5 points, 6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. Isiaia Cordinier, who was relatively quiet during the group stages, has been solid with his field goals, averaging 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 2.5 steals in the last two games. Evan Fournier has been clutch off the bench, averaging 2 three-pointers per game.

To cap it all off, Victor Wembanyama has been the driving force for France throughout the tournament. Wembanyama has been lethal on both ends of the floor, averaging 9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals per game in the playoffs. 

If Yabusele, Cordinier, Fournier, and Mathias Lessort can outperform their US counterparts, France could make the final truly competitive.  France is averaging an impressive 10.8 offensive rebounds per game and leads the tournament in blocks with 4.7 per game.

USA

The United States (USA) was down and out for most of its semifinal game against Serbia, but it outscored Serbia 32-15 in the fourth quarter to finish the game 95-91 and advance to the finals for the second consecutive time. The big question now is whether the USA can win its 17th gold medal in Olympic basketball.

Steph Curry, who had a minimal impact in the group stages, delivered an outstanding performance in the last outing against Serbia, finishing with a game-high 36 points and 8 rebounds. LeBron James recorded his second triple-double of the tournament with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Joel Embiid finally made his mark, scoring 19 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and dishing out 2 assists.

The USA thrives on a fast-paced game, which allows them to easily outplay opponents offensively with their speed. However, the team needs to address its turnover rate and improve its offensive rebounding compared to France. The USA averaged 106.8 points per game while conceding 86.2 points per game in the tournament. They also averaged 4.2 blocks per game.

FRANCE vs USA
Winning Prediction

Rebounding will be the key battle in the France-USA final. France thrives on second-chance opportunities, while the USA excels in fast-break scoring. Limiting turnovers and low-quality shots will be crucial for France to disrupt the USA's transition offence.

If France can successfully stifle the USA's fast-break points and control the offensive glass, they'll put themselves in a strong position to win. With the home crowd behind them, this could be a tightly contested game. We predict a tight contest with France potentially pulling off an upset.
