Georgia - Latvia

Hello. Olympic qualifier against Latvia. Georgia against Latvia. We are moving with a plus handicap for Georgia. Georgia has gathered all of their best players for this qualifier. Players like Shengelia, Bitadze, and Mamukelashvili will be here. In addition, Joe Thomasson, who had a good season in Spain and has joined Georgia after signing with Maccabi, will also be with the team. In my opinion, there is only one black horse in Latvia's qualifier. Meanwhile, Latvia will be without Porzingis and Gražulis, who were very important in Luka Banki's setups at the World Championship. Žagars is not the same Žagars as he was at the World Championship (at least that's how he appeared for the Wolves), and Smits seemed to have lost his form at Žalgiris (maybe he just didn't have motivation after agreeing to play for Efes). Yes, Latvia still has a decent team, but in my opinion, Georgia is greatly underrated here. They can definitely handle a 7.5 handicap and I believe that they can even try their luck against Peru. Good luck.
