PHOTO USA Today Sports Image Team USA was unsurprisingly beaten by South Sudan in London 5-0 in an exhibition season that included three countries making it to the Olympics.
LeBron James made the game-winner in a 101-100 win this month that opened many eyes to the style of attack from South Sudan, which connected on 14 3-pointers.
Team USA is a 40-point favorite to win. Take a look at the pictures ahead of Wednesday afternoon’s rematch.
OLYMPICS men’s basketball: Team USA vs. South Sudan, 3 pm ET
Team USA is a 28.5-point favorite, and the tone of the match suggests there will be no focus or effort, head coach Steve Kerr said in a film session before the Olympics began last week.
South Sudan shot the ball well and played with energy, a combination that did not match Team USA when they played on July 20. The Americans trailed by 16 and looked upset as they went on a 17-6 run in the second quarter.
Covering a nearly 30-point margin is not entirely impossible for Team USA after a 26-point victory over Serbia on Sunday.
We avoid spreading and altering Team USA’s star power.
Kerr has decided to put the ball in James’ hands more often, and has the size and will to attack the South Sudan defense that shut down Puerto Rico in the opener.

Kansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox, 2:10 p.m. ET
The White Sox cut big bats and others at the deadline, sending Eloy Jiminez to the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago facing a franchise-worst 16-game losing streak. On Wednesday evening, they will try to avoid a pair of 17: a 17-game losing streak and become the victim of a 17-game streak this season.
Kansas City’s Brady Singer (7-6, 2.82 ERA) is dealing late. He threw seven shutout innings to beat the White Sox on July 20 in Kansas City and blanked the Chicago Cubs for seven more on Saturday.
Singer’s career ERA against the White Sox of 3.68 ERA in 15 career games against Chicago suggests that there is no offensive effort.
Brady Singer is over 17.5 recorded, -125 on DraftKings

Oakland Athletics at San Francisco Giants, 9:45 p.m. ET
The Bay Bridge Series ended in a final of two games before Oakland pulled the plug and moved to Sacramento while they waited for their new digs in Las Vegas.
We went with San Francisco in a series where Oakland had no options in the back end of the bullpen. Mason Miller (injury list) is unavailable and fill-in Lucas Eberg, the A’s most-capped player this season, was traded to the Royals on Tuesday. The Giants scored all of their runs in the eighth and ninth innings on Tuesday.
But more than anything, we focus on running.
Giants right-hander Logan Webb has lost two consecutive starts and has a 1-2 record and a career 5.68 ERA against Oakland. His opposition is former teammate and right-hander Ross Stripling (2-9, 6.02 ERA), who went 0-5 with the Giants last season.
Over 7.5 total runs, -110 at Caesers Sportsbook
