Women’s 3-on-3 basketball and men’s volleyball are among the highlights to Monday’s schedule at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The women’s 3-on-3 semifinal between Spain and the United States unfolds, as well as the men’s volleyball quarterfinal match between Brazil and the United States. In the women’s basketball matchup, things are looking up for the Americans, who dropped their first three games in pool play before coming back to win five straight. The United States won its play-in game on Saturday by defeating China 21-13. Spain is seeded second. A win by the Americans will propel them into Monday’s gold medal game at 4:05 p.m. ET. If Spain wins, the United States will play at 3 p.m. ET for the bronze.
In the men’s volleyball match, the Americans are -186 favorites (risk $186 to win $100), and they will look to continue their dominant ways. They have only dropped three games in three matches with two of those coming in a 3-2 victory over Germany on Tuesday. Brazil, meanwhile, is seeded seventh after going 1-2 in pool play.
