The action continues in Group C of the men's basketball tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday, with Nikola Jokic and Serbia taking on JT Thor and South Sudan. Both teams remain in contention to advance past the group stage to the quarterfinals, so this should be a very exciting matchup.

Both of these teams rocked Puerto Rico earlier in the week, but they also struggled against Team USA. Serbia fell to the Americans, 110-84, and South Sudan lost to Team USA, 103-86. Serbia is considered the favorite to advance, but anything can happen in international hoops.

Can Jokic, a three-time NBA MVP, lead Serbia past a scrappy South Sudanese squad? Will point differential come into play? These questions and more will be answered on Saturday evening.
