China take on Team USA today in the Mens Olympics Basketball today. It is expected that over 1 billion people will tune into to watch the game making it one of the most watched games in sporting history.
The Americans are strong favourites to win this game with PaddyPower going as far as offering odds of 1/500. However Team USA are under a huge amount of pressure to win gold at these Olympics after they only won a bronze in Athens. These two teams played each other at the 2006 World Championships and the States trounced their oppostiton 121 - 90. This time they will have to contain 7′ 6″ Houston Rockets superstar Yao Ming playing in front of a home stadium.
SportingBet.com are offering China (+33.5 handicap) at odds of 5/6. It’s a game that Team USA should win but by more than 33 points would be a tall order.
