IT'S all go in Rio with the Olympics in full flow and Jordan has an early tip for Monday night's basketball.

Team USA have won gold in five of the last six Olympics and Jordan says: “The USA are obvious favourites for the gold and should dominate. The spread is a ridiculous -50.5 which I won’t be touching but the USA will score at will and should hit this.

“They’ve played two friendlies recently totaling 52 and 55 points at HT but this is the first group game so the starters should get more minutes in the first half.

“Always think the USA are given it too easy though and sometimes play like the Harlem Globetrotters so don’t go too mad on stakes.”

Monday, 11ppm, Olympic Basketball

USA Over 55 1st Half Points (17-20, William Hill– 2.5 points
This is a decent total considering the likes of Bwin have 60.5 @ 3-4, Skybet55.5 @ 8-11 and Sportingbet56.5 @ 17-20

As for Saturday's sporting action, there's loads going on in Rio and closer to home so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
