FIBA World Cup 2023 predictions today
The 19th edition of the FIBA World Cup will take place from August 25th to September 10th in the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia. As the 32 national basketball teams prepare to battle hard for the right to be named World Champions. Throughout the entire tournament, we will be giving you free FIBA World Cup predictions for every day of action. We’ve also explained how we’ve selected our predictions and what analyses have been made before we offer you these free FIBA World Cup betting tips today. Here are our first picks for August 25th.
Before we start we want to stress something. We firmly believe that there is a huge potential on betting on the FIBA World Cup every day because unlike with the NBA where any news reflects in the odds within minutes most bookies are very slow to react when it comes to FIBA World Cup. For instance when Canada announced that Jamal Murray would miss the tournament France’s odds to win their group stayed at 19/10 (2.90) for over 30 hours before the bookmakers reacted to the news and reduced them to 17/20 (1.85). So read our FIBA World Cup predictions today and see if you can find a gem.
The best FIBA World Cup betting tips for today
Here are our top FIBA World Cup predictions for today:
FIBA World Cup tip 1: Rudy Gobert Over 9.5 Rebounds @ 8/1 (1.73)
Our first FIBA World Cup betting tip today backs Rudy Gobert to go over his 9.5 rebounds spread in France’s game vs their main rivals in the group Canada. France’s centre Gobert is averaging 11.6 rebounds per game during his 10-year NBA career. His numbers for France are pretty similar – 11.2 rebounds per game. With this contest at the start of the tournament likely to decide the winner of the group Gobert is bound to get extended minutes and he should easily grab at least 10 boards.
FIBA World Cup tip 2: RJ Barrett Over 16.5 Points @ 5/6 (1.83)
Our second FIBA World Cup pick today stays with the same game but goes to the other side of the court. With Jamal Murray out of the tournament, RJ Barrett from New York Knicks is likely to become Canada’s main scorer. Barrett is averaging 17.2 points for Canada over the last 6 games of the Maple Leafs. He should get a higher volume of shots now with Murray out and that’s why we back Barrett to cover his points spread for the game.
FIBA World Cup tip 3: Dennis Schroder Over 7.5 Assists @ 5/6 (1.83)
Our final FIBA World Cup betting tip today looks at Germany’s main point guard Dennis Schroder. The veteran has been lightning it for Germany in recent months and he’s averaging double double in his last 11 matches for the Germans – 15.4 points and 10.1 assists.
Considering that he should play long minutes in the first game vs Japan as the Germans try to gain early momentum in what is shaping to be a very tricky group we can see Schroder easily covering his assists spread.
These odds from William Hill were correct at the time of writing.
Our tips for FIBA World Cup predictions today
Finally, we wish to give you some tips on how to successfully make your own picks when it comes to selecting your own FIBA World Cup predictions today. This is how we do it, anyway.
Current Form
Naturally, the most important factor we analyse when we select our FIBA World Cup prediction offers is the form of the player/team we choose to back. This is especially important now in the World Cup when teams and certain individual players light it up or struggle. That’s why we analyse every player/team form in that certain circumstance closely before we decide to back them.
Circumstances
We’re talking about picking FIBA World Cup betting tips tonight during a World Cup tournament, so the circumstances regarding at what stage of the competition every team is play a vital role in selecting betting tips. For instance, the main scorer of a team that is facing elimination is far more likely to go over their points spread than someone from a team that has already qualified for the next stage. If the circumstances hint at desperation, as inevitably they do for every team in the World Cup then this should be factored in when one selects their players’ props or any other FIBA World Cup picks. We always do that ourselves.
Grouping Player Props Bets
We believe that grouping two or even three FIBA World Cup picks is a very useful strategy. For example, if we think that Jalen Brunson will go over his assist spread then we will seriously consider also Anthony Edwards to go over his scoring spread.
General Outcome
We never dismiss what we think the general outcome of a certain match will be. For example, if we think Team USA will be in for a blowout win and most of their regulars will sit out the 4th quarter then we’ll probably stay away from Brandon Ingram going over his points spread. Or, if we believe that the key to getting the win in a certain matchup is how well both teams rebound we’ll seriously consider the 2 best rebounders at each end to go over their rebound spread.
In general, we think there is huge potential in betting on FIBA World Cup picks today and we will be giving you 3 free betting tips every day from now until the end of the last 2023 FIBA World Cup game.
