Top 2024 Paris Olympics picks for Aug. 7

Tierney sees value with Spain in their knockout stage men's basketball game against Belgium on Wednesday. Although Spain went unbeaten in pool play and Belgium just 1-2, Spain is a +5.5 point underdog. The reason, according to Tierney, is that it's widely thought Belgium sleep-walked through pool play, He can't get over the fact that Spain is 3-0, and gives the Spaniards the nod.

"The Spanish might have been occasionally unimpressive — they escaped lowly Puerto Rico by a point — but taking points with the 3-0 side against the 1-2 opponent is irresistible," Tierney told SportsLine. See the rest of Tierney's picks here .
