Team Spain finished the group stage of the Olympic Games with a 2-1 record and were placed second in Group C. They are coming off a defeat against Team USA with an 81-95 score, despite the heroics of Ricky Rubio who scored a game-high 38 points.

He was 9-13 from the paint and a perfect 8-8 from the charity stripe, making 4 triples and adding 4 rebounds. Sergio Rodriguez added 16 points with 3 triples.

Rubio leads the team both in scoring with 215.5 ppg and in assists made with 6, adding 3.5 rebounds per game. Rodriguez adds 9 ppg and 3 assists per game.

Team Spain had the fifth-best offense in the tournament with 84.3 ppg while allowing 84.5 ppg defensively. They have a 46.3% field goal percentage and a 33.9% 3-point percentage.

In their only previous official meeting back in the 2011 Eurobasket, Spain won with a 92-80 score. Spain has won their four friendly meetings since then.

Spain has been steadily one of the best squads both of Europe and of the whole world and the bookmakers give them a surprisingly low -12.5 spread for this game. I’m going to bet on them winning by more than that and beating the odds today.
