Betting on Rio: China (+6.5) v. Venezuela

I don't know much about the Venezuelan team, but I don't generally associate Venezuela with good basketball. I know China has Yi Jinalian, a big man with NBA experience who dropped 25 in their opener against the US.

The Chinese team has four players 7'0 or taller. The tallest player on Venezuela is 6'9. Expect Yi and the Chinese to dominate Venezuela inside, and look for them to cover spread.
