For my same-game parlay for Canada vs. Latvia, we’re combining a Latvia cover with the Over at 177.5 as well as 10+ points from Davis Bertans. Latvia and Canada have both had impressive offensive showings so far, and I believe they’re both well-suited to continue that trend against each other. Latvia lost their best rim protector when Porzingis had to withdraw, and Canada loves to attack the rim. Latvia will keep Canada on their toes with ball movement and quick trigger threes.
For his part, Bertans is averaging 8.5 3-point attempts and is hitting them at a 41.2% clip in the tournament. Bertans’ defensive foibles limit his utility in the NBA, but Latvia leans all offense to compensate, and Bertans is a difficult cover as an elite shooter at a legit 6-foot-10. Canada’s big man defenders haven’t faced anyone like Bertans through their exhibition or tournament play so far, and I expect Bertans to rack up some points while they adjust to the unique problem he poses.
So I’m certainly not going as far as to call a Latvia upset, but I do think Canada is in for a bit of shellshock against Latvia after their two games against France and Lebanon. Those teams played at a languid pace and did not have the kind of offensive firepower that Latvia does. A slow start, a few turnovers, or a couple defensive lapses and this Latvian team can blitz them for a 12-0 run in the blink of an eye. That should be enough to keep things within range of this line.
Tuesday’s total between Canada and Latvia came in at 177.5 at most sportsbooks. This matchup promises to intrigue because it’s a classic clash of styles. The Canadians have built their foundation on defense and crushed France and Lebanon by getting out on the run after defensive rebounds or forced turnovers. That should remain effective against Latvia, who face a sizeable strength and speed gap against Canada’s best players.
But Latvia will be able to generate quality looks of their own, and the pace of this game should be among the highest of the tournament so far. With Canada attacking the rim and getting to the line and Latvia lighting it up from outside, I would lean Over even at this sizeable number.Looking to do some FIBA World Cup betting?
