fwiw the OLY team lost last time this type of game was played and the same logic of not letting them lose could be applied. The young players and/or first time all-stars are more likely to play with passion than the group of bearded women we have seen advertised lately as the women's team. In true lay-up fashion then don't want to risk any major players being hurt for an OLY event the USA SHOULD dominate.
The only reason the Olympic team might lose here is because they're solely focused on winning gold. The all stars will give them a game imo because they're going to play as hard as possible in this game with it being their last game for a month. The total is interesting because it's come down from the opener of 194. I think there will be defense played in this game at least more than you'd see in a typical all star game so I lean under there.
Yes, I used to call it Bad Beat Beaver Ball back when Ivory Latta used to miss her layups then sink the buzzer beating 3 to splash both my spread and Totals, and sometimes the moneyline.
