Best EuroBasket Bets for Thursday, August 28
All odds current as of 8:00 PM ET Monday.
Kamar Baldwin 5+ Assists (+100 bet365)
Without Tornike Shengelia, Baldwin has had to take on more of a facilitating role for the Georgian national team. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Goga Bitadze figure to be busy in the frontcourt, and I think Baldwin will capitalize with the ball in his hands a ton.
Martin Hermannsson Over 18.5 Points+Assists (-120 bet365)
Hermannsson had a breakout season in the EuroLeague and has really reached the next level as both a scorer and as a point guard depending on what his team needs from him. I think he will get the minutes and usage he only saw sporadically with ALBA Berlin, and as a result I think he will be someone who stands out in this tournament and keeps Iceland in a lot of games they shouldn't be in.
Simone Fontecchio Over 2.5 Threes (+105 bet365)
This Greek team packed the paint with its length during the last Olympics and really forced teams to shoot over them from deep -- which some teams had a lot of success doing. I could see Italy doing that yet Thursday, and Fontecchio can really shoot it when FIBA rules are in play.
Alen Omic 10+ Points (+375 bet365)
We're going pretty far down the board here but hear me out. Luka Doncic likes having a pick-and-roll big to work with during these tournaments, and with no Josh Nebo or Mike Tobey this time around, Omic should start and get ample opportunities. He did not get 20 minutes in the friendlies, but a big game could change that.
