Olympics Men’s Basketball: Lithuania vs Nigeria

Though there have only been three days worth of action to this point in the 2016 Rio Olympics men’s basketball competition, there is already a pecking order being established in regards to who the viable medal threats are and who is going to be left out in the cold. Lithuania has the chance to be the former, but they’re going to need a strong performance against Nigeria on Tuesday to solidify that.

Lithuania won their opening matchup against Brazil, but not without suffering a scare. After going up by almost 30 points over the host nation, the Lithuanians got complacent on the floor and ultimately allowed Brazil to climb back into it and make a game of it. Lithuania won, but only by single-digits.

However, Nigeria might not be much of a threat to Jonas Valanciunas and company as they were thrashed in their opener and would need to do a complete turnaround to look like an Olympics men’s basketball threat this year in Rio.

This game featuring Lithuania and Nigeria will be broadcast live on TV on NBCSN and the Olympics Basketball Channel. Live streaming of the matchup will also be available through NBCOlympics and the NBC Sports app, both of which are accessible by logging in with a cable or satellite subscription.
