FIBA World Cup 2023: How likely is it that Team USA win the World Cup?

After a tough start, the United States had no trouble beating Greece on Monday to confirm their status as one of the favorites to win the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, which is being held in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia.

With the tournament having started last week, the Stars and Stripes remain one of the teams to beat despite their start against New Zealand. After a sluggish showing in the first half, the Americans woke up in the second half and took over.

Steve Kerr's team faced a better team on Monday, Greece, and had no issues taking them down in a resounding 109-81 scoreline, where the best version of the Americans appeared.

There were no doubts, they impressed defensively and offensively, and if they keep up that pace the other participants will have to worry about them.? USA Basketball (@usabasketball) August 28, 2023

After the crowning of Spain in 2019, the North American team wants to regain top spot and, according to the bookmakers, is the top favorite to regain the throne and return home with the title.

The United States, who are without their best players this time around, have won the World Cup five times and are going for one more.

According to the odds of the main bookmakers, you have to invest between 125 and 150 dollars to win 100 if the American team is crowned, while for Canada, the second in the list of candidates for the crown, you have to bet 100 dollars to have a profit of between 300 and 400 dollars.

Steve Kerr's team is led by New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, who has been at the top level for nearly 10 years and is joined by players such as Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero.
