The Team USA women’s basketball squad lost 117-109 to the WNBA All-Stars.
However, bettors shouldn’t be concerned about them winning gold in Paris — at least according to Caitlin Clark.
“They’re gonna be just fine — they’re gonna win gold and dominate, so I’m not worried,” Clark said in her postgame presser after she, along with fellow rookie Angel Reese, helped lead the All-Stars to victory over the roster that’s headed to the 2024 Olympics this week.
And according to the odds, Clark’s prediction could be spot on.
Like the men’s side, the American women’s basketball team is the heavy favorite to win it all this summer. It is first on the oddsboard at -1800. Australia is second at +2200.
