Team USA has been gearing up for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics with a series of exhibition games, showing solid performance but not without some close calls. The team managed to secure victories against Canada, Australia, and South Sudan, setting the stage for an exciting tournament ahead.
As the competition heats up, basketball fans are eager to know who will emerge as the leading scorer for Team USA. According to the latest odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, Steph Curry is currently the favorite to claim this title, with odds at +300. This marks a significant increase from his previous odds of +550, reflecting the confidence in Curry’s scoring abilities.
Just a week ago, Joel Embiid was the frontrunner with odds at +400, but his performance in the exhibition games has led to a drop in his odds to +800. Despite putting up 14 points against Australia, some critics like Skip Bayless have expressed concerns about Embiid’s fitness level, suggesting that he may not be in top shape for the upcoming tournament.
In addition to Curry and Embiid, other notable contenders for the top scorer title include Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Jayson Tatum. Each player brings a unique skill set to the court, making the race for the leading scorer an exciting one to watch.
As the countdown to the Olympics continues, basketball enthusiasts can expect fierce competition and thrilling performances from Team USA.
