Georgia v Netherlands
Georgia didn’t have a great time in the last EuroBasket event but they were blighted by injuries in that campaign. This time around, coach Igor Kokoskov has a full squad to choose from and he will be feeling confident about taking his team into the knock-out round of this tournament. With Zaza Pachulia able to bring all of his NBA experience with him, the Georgians will be looking forward to this tournament.
The Dutch lost out to Turkey in a recent warm-up game but it went to 2 periods of overtime. Big players for the Dutch in that game were Charlon Kloof who grabbed 25 points and Nicolas De Jong who offered 22 points and 8 rebounds.
Taking Georgia with a -9 handicap, at odds of 1.90, should be a good start to the tournament and if you want to enjoy the Over/Under market, opt to go OVER 140.5 at 1.90. Bet Now!

Macedonia v Greece
The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia slipped to a heavy defeat against Spain in the build-up to this tournament but with Spain being one of top tips for the tournament, this isn’t too much of an issue to be worried about. Richard Hendrix, Vojdan Stojanovski and Bojan Trajkovski were all on the score-sheet and they’ll need to be at their best if Macedonia are going to achieve anything in this tournament.
There were concerns for Greece when Giannis Bourousis picked up an ankle knock in the build-up to the event but he has bounced back to be deemed fit enough for this game.
This is a game that the Greek side should be winning with a minimum of fuss and this is reflected in their odds of a -15.5 handicap, at odds of 1.90. For the Over/Under market, go OVER 138.5 at odds of 1.90. Bet Now!

Croatia v Slovenia
The host nation for Group C is in fine form, having won 9 games in a row, defeating Israel 86-76 in their last match. This was the culmination of a warm-up event held in Zagreb with the Croats enjoying some silverware already this summer.
Youngster Ziga Dimec was the final player omitted from the Slovenian squad, with the country aiming for experience in the shape of Sasa Zagorac. Zagorac may have years on Dimec but he doesn’t have any experience at the top level of international basketball, so it will be interesting to see how the Slovenian side pans out.
Croatia are well tipped for this game with a handicap of -8.5, at odds of 1.90 and if you fancy the Over/Under market, opt to go OVER 142.5. Bet Now!

It may not have been a final that many people predicted in the build-up to the 2017 FIBA EuroBasket tournament but even with that in mind, there was a shock win.

With Spain falling short in the semi-final against Slovenia, who would eventually go on to take the title, this could have been a game that the Spaniards just wanted over and done with. Mind you, with Russia also involved in the third and fourth game for the Bronze medal, this would have been the Sunday...
