Star watch: Serbia 

Who else could it be? Nikola Jokic, the three time NBA MVP, is going to have to be even more unstoppable tonight, but he will be going up against a three headed monster in Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid and Bam Adebayo down low. When he is on the floor Serbia can hang with Team USA, but when he is not on the floor they suffer. In the Olympic opener between these two teams a couple weeks ago, Serbia with +0 with Jokic on the floor but -26 when Jokic went to the bench. Against Australia Serbia were +17 with Jokic on the floor and -12 without him. It’s very simple to just say Jokic needs to play all 40 minutes, but against this fast, physical Team USA side, he’s likely going to need at least a few minutes of rest especially since they are coming off an OT game in which Jokic played 39 minutes.
