The pregame narrative: After dismantling Canada in the quarterfinals as 8-point underdogs, Wembanyama and France roll into the semifinals for a rematch against Germany as dogs again.

Go to full France vs. Germany betting markets.
France's only loss through four games at the Olympics came against a strong German side.
Wembanyama led all French scorers in that contest with 14 points. He also contributed 12 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in the 85-71 loss.
France will be hoping for a similar performance from the 7-foot-4 phenom and I like him to deliver.
Best Wembanyama prop bet
Best bet: Over 1.5 threes (-143)
The first time these two sides matched up, the 20-year-old drained three shots from deep on seven attempts.
I see no reason why he can't do it again.
Wembanyama has been letting it fly from beyond the arc throughout the Olympics. The volume of 3-pointers a player takes is always a good sign when betting on the over.
He's averaging 5.5 attempts per game and took seven versus Germany in the group stage loss.
Outside of France, Germany is one of the biggest teams at the tournament, which will naturally allow Wemby to be on the perimeter more often.
Combine that with Rudy Gobert's expected limited minutes again after he had surgery on his finger, and I like the over.
Key stat: Wembanyama is averaging 1.75 threes made per game at the Olympics.
