FIBA ASIA Championship Tuesday

Palestine+25.0
I think this is just right up there. Iran should be fuming from that setback against Philippines and should see them vent it out against newcomer-Palestine. Palestine is actually decent, they are an organized bunch and is actually waiting for this game to test their mettle. We should see thr same effort as they did when they played Philippines. Iran being yhe better team will probably run away with a win but flirt with an almost bear cover. I see this around 17-21 point game.

Lean: Japan-21.5
No play in this game. YET. You just don't know which Japan team shows up. IMO, they have enough to shoot down Hong Kong but will probably just run through the motions (if Palestine loses to Iran). Flip a coin here if you must.

Philippines-18.0
I was expecting in the area of low 20's here. Play the Philippines, i believe they dont take this game lightly going forward. Probably a 25-30 point win here. Philippines have good momentum following the win over Iran. After losing the opener against Palestine, that was definitely a wake up call for the team. They never wavered in easy games afterwards.

Jordan +1/ML
Jordan's spot in 4th is not safe. This is a do-or-die game for then and I think the short line suggests a close game. Both teams are evenly matched but I give the edge to Jordan for having the better coach in this situation. In crucial games like this the coaching staff shows why they matter and will surely be the difference. Legion is also a lot better than Youngblood, who doesn't get much help offensively.

Qatar+13.0
Qatar has been having a quiet but very successful run at this tournament. They've played cohesive basketball and supports it with terrific defending. They have the size to matchup against China and even habe enough physicality to stand up against potential winners. I think the difference here would be the rebounding numbers. Qatar has had a number of games where they outrebounded their opponents enroute to upsets and close victories. Since they can cancel out China's lenght, sll they need now is to defend that perimeter. Not looking for an upset but Inthink Qatar can keep itnwithin single digit

LEAN: Kazakhstan+15.5
SOKOR advances regardless if they win or lose. Thing here is the placing. If Qatar loses even a lose against Kazakhstan would push them up to #2, totally evading Iran in the next round. Kazakhstan ks decent and South Korea isn't in top shape yet (or has fallen out of it). I see them sbeaking in a cover when SOKOR relaxes looking to avoid any scuffles or incidents going to the next stage.

Iran leads by 40!!! with one Qtr to go,,,,
