In the first game they played in the group stage, Russia won 75 - 72 with 22 points of Shved (7/16 Fg - 43.8%). In this last match they won Greece, Shved scored 26 points (7/22 Fg - 31.8%) + 7 turnovers!
The Russian star catches the ball a lot and plays a lot of possessions, of course. But losing the ball so much, does not bode well against Serbia. Those statistics do not indicate freshness.
Because Serbia comes from putting 83 points to Italy (of the most defensive teams) with Bogdanovic scoring 22 points (8/18) plus four teammates in double digits. And the team registered a 49.1% in Tc.
By state of form, options in the squad, by rematch, and by experience, Serbia seems to me a good option.
Serbia -5.5
