Serbia vs Turkey: Key Matchups to Watch
Heading into this game, it is hard to ignore the disparity in superstars between Serbia and Turkey. While Turkey and Serbia have fairly even teams for the most part, Serbia has a huge advantage with one player. Nikola Jokic is a member of the Serbian team. Not only is he the best player on his team, but he is also viewed by many as the best player in the world.
For Turkey to have any success in this game, they will need to do what they can to shut down Jokic. It is a task that is challenging for even the world’s best players in the NBA. If the Turkish squad can pull it off, it will be a truly impressive feat.
The player on Turkey who will be asked to go toe-to-toe offensively with Jokic is Alperen Sengun. He has performed well through his first four games of the tournament, averaging 20 points per game. However, if the Turks are going to win, they will need contributions from their entire roster.

Serbia vs Turkey Prediction
Heading into this matchup between Serbia and Turkey, it is hard to bet against the Serbians. More than nearly any other sport, basketball is a sport where one player can take over a game and single-handedly determine the outcome. Nikola Jokic is by far the best player in this game, so the Serbians will be heavy favorites.
We are not going to bet against Jokic and are predicting the Serbians to come out on top. However, Turkey has a strong team that works well together and could keep things close.
