Although Lithuania struggled against DKK, they can still be considered as clear favorites against Italy. First of all - Domantas Sabonis. The Italians won't have anyone to stop him, and at the same time, it won't be as difficult for Domantas in defense since he won't have to go against physically strong opponents. The Italians are definitely not the strongest lineup, with veteran Gallinari. They are also missing Fontecchio, which is a big loss. In the qualifiers, they were defeated by a stronger opponent - Puerto Rico, so I don't see how Lithuania can't take advantage of this opportunity to move forward. The 7 point handicap is already quite high, but I'm expecting a double-digit difference in favor of Lithuania.
