Puerto Rico vs China prediction
China are coming off the back of arguably their best performance in the competition so far, taking care of business emphatically against Italy with a 51-71 victory that sealed their place in the knockout stage. That sets up a showdown with Puerto Rico, who edged through in nail-biting fashion by beating Turkiye 75-71 to finish third-place in Group C after losing their first two games.
But that victory papers over the cracks when it comes to Puerto Rico. China are the more well-rounded line-up and should demonstrate their superiority over four quarters when it comes to this elimination game. Back the Chinese to triumph with a small play on the spread.
Puerto Rico vs China tip: China to win with -7.5 point spread
