Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama posted a double-double with three blocks to help Spain beat Greece at the Paris Olympics 84-77. He led the team with 19 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 6-for-14 from the field. Aldama also dished out a couple of assists while hitting 3-for-8 from downtown. The Grizzlies big man has kicked off the tournament in fine form, averaging 23.0 points through the first two games. Aldama has continued where he left off last season in the NBA when he enjoyed a career year with 10.7 points and 5.8 rebounds. However, he was one of the many players benefiting from Memphis' awful injury problems, and fantasy managers might want to tame their expectations regarding Aldama in the upcoming campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 27 points on 12-for-17 shooting but couldn't save Greece from going down 84-77 to Spain at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday. Following a 34-point effort in Greece's tournament opener against Canada, Antetokounmpo scored at will again and stuffed the stat sheet. He completed a double-double with 11 rebounds and registered three assists with two steals. Antetokounmpo, who was Greece's flag bearer at the opening ceremony, has been a monster in Paris, but his team has dropped both of its first two games. This leaves Antetokounmpo's crew in a must-win spot against Australia next, and the Milwaukee superstar will need to put in another massive performance for Greece to get past the group stage.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did it all for Team Canada on Tuesday in a 93-83 victory over Australia at the Paris Olympics. He notched 16 points with outstanding 8-for-10 shooting and recorded four rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks. The Thunder star has been an efficient scorer at the Olympics while providing fantasy value across the board. He definitely has room to improve as well, and we should see Gilgeous-Alexander step into an even more prominent role in the latter stages as Canada continues to battle for its second-ever Olympic medal in men's basketball.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett went 3-for-6 from behind the arc and 8-for-14 overall from the field en route to a game-high 24 points in Canada's 93-83 victory over Australia at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday. He also collected seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals for a nice all-around fantasy line. Barrett has been Canada's top scorer in both of the team's first two games. The 24-year-old had a strong finish last season and appears to be in top form at the Olympics as well. Barrett and Team Canada will go up against reigning European champs Spain next in their final group game on Friday.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey maintained momentum at the Paris Olympics in Australia's 93-83 loss to Canada on Tuesday. After nearly getting a triple-double in the Aussie's tournament opener against Spain, Giddey posted another strong line with a team-high 19 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. He got the job done with 7-for-14 shooting, going 3-for-7 from three-point land. Giddey had a rough campaign in 2023-24 but appears to be in a strong position to bounce back next season. Good performances at the Olympics should help rebuild Giddey's confidence ahead of the new NBA campaign.
