Tyler Dorsey and Greece vs. Italy in EuroBasket: Injury report

Kostas Antetokounmpo missed Greece’s EuroBasket opener with an injury, but he is on his country's final roster. Fans should consider him questionable at best to play on Saturday, but the Greeks believe he will be ready to play at some point during EuroBasket 2022.

Italy lost Danilo Gallinari in World Cup qualifying as he tore his ACL. The Italians do not have a ready-made replacement, and they will also be playing on the second night of a back-to-back.

Tyler Dorsey and Greece vs. Italy in EuroBasket predictions

Expect a monster night from Giannis as he goes off for a 30-point double-double. Italy sells out to stop in the second half, and it allows Dorsey to net 20 as Greece finishes off a dominating victory. The Italians get 15 points from former Mavericks Nicolo Melli, but it is not enough to grab the win.

Greece will be overwhelming favorites to win Group C if they pick up another victory on Saturday. Tyler Dorsey and his country will have arguably beaten the two best teams in the group already but will have three more games before the knockout stage. Fans won’t want to miss any of them, so be sure to tune in and enjoy.
