Why Germany can cover

The 22-year-old had his best offensive performance of the Paris Games in the victory against France, scoring 26 points while pulling down five rebounds.

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder also recorded 26 points versus the French and fell one assist shy of posting his second double-double of these Olympics. The 30-year-old, who is averaging 18 points, scored 13 and dished out 12 assists in Germany's 97-77 triumph over Japan in its group-stage opener. Seven different players have scored in double figures for the host nation thus far, with Wagner and Schroder accomplishing the feat in every game and forward Isaac Bonga, who played for three different NBA teams from 2018-22, doing it twice.

The 20-year-old center from the San Antonio Spurs recorded a pair of double-doubles during group play, producing 18 points and 11 boards against Japan before notching 14 and 12 versus Germany.

One of seven returning members of France's silver medal-winning team in the 2020 Tokyo Games, Evan Fournier scored in double figures in each of his last three games.
