BettingPlanet.com previews the tips, odds, betting, predictions and picks for the four main draw basketball betting matches of FIBA World Cup betting from the fourth day of second round games from Beijing, China, where either the USA, Czech Republic or Brazil will advance.

Greece vs Czech Republic FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Greece (-10) vs. Czech Republic O/U 156

Greece has a lot of work to do to advance to the quarterfinals, as they need Team USA to win and they have to beat the Czech Republic by 12 or more points. The Czechs will make the final eight if the USA win, and they either winning this game, or lose by 11 or fewer points.

Greece lost to Team USA in their last game 69-53 where they played good but failed to shoot over 32% from the floor. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 15 points on a good shooting game, but the other starters struggled and have to get back on track in this game.

The Czech Republic crushed Brazil in their last game winning 93-71 where they played well on both sides of the floor and shot a scorching 56.2% from the field. Tomas Satoransky had 20 points and Ondrej Balvín had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The Greeks will come out firing knowing they have to win by 12 or more points, but that will not happen. The Czechs are playing with confidence and while they may not win they will cover the 10 point spread.

France vs Australia FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• France (-3.5) vs Australia O/U 163

Dangerous FIBA World Cup betting match as both France and Australia have already advanced to the quarterfinals. However, this game does still carry some payload for the winner as the victorious team will likely avoid playing Team USA in the quarterfinals.

France beat a tough Lithuania team 78-75 in their last game with Evan Fournier scoring 24 points and Nando De Colo coming off the bench to score 21 points. France played another solid game on defense in the game holding Lithuania to a FG% of 38.3%.

Australia was not impressive in their 82-76 win over the Dominican Republic in their last game where they allowed them to shoot 48.3% from the field. Patty Mills had 19 points, but Joe Ingels only had two and Mills will need scoring help in this game facing Rudy Gobert and a solid French defense.

This game will be a battle, but France will come out on top and win and cover the spread.

USA vs Brazil FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• USA (-18) vs. Brazil O/U 165

Team USA is almost assured a berth in the quarterfinals, as with a win they win the group and for them not to advance they need Czech Republic to beat Greece and they have to lose to Brazil by more than 22 points. Yeah; not going to happen.

USA did not have a good shooting game in their 69-53 win over Greece but held the Greeks to a FG% of only 31.8%. Kemba Walker led the team against with 15 points and Jayson Tatum is still out with an ankle injury.

Brazil was blown out in their last game losing to Czech Republic 93-71. They will come out firing knowing they have to win big against the Yanks, but that will not happen. However, they will not be blown out for a 2nd straight game and while Team USA will cruise Brazil will cover the spread.

Lithuania vs Dominican Republic FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Lithuania (-18) vs. Dominican Republic O/U 155

Both of these teams have no chance to advance to the quarterfinals and that should be a big red flag looking for any potential basketball betting opportunities. Lithuania is the betting favorite in the game and they narrowly lost to France 78-75 in their last game. Dominican Republic has lost their last two games, but they put up a fight in their last game losing 82-76 against a heavily favored Australia team.

Lithuania’s talent will be too much for the Dominicans to overcome with a win, but for the second straight game Lithuania will play well enough to stay in touch and cover the spread.

Day three of the second round of the 2019 Federation Internationale de Basketball (FIBA) World Cup has four more games with the teams playing their second group games. There are another four games also on the schedule for Sunday in the Classification Round for the 17th to 32nd placings.

FIBA Basketball World Cup 2nd Round Games & Betting Odds

BettingPlanet.com previews the tips, odds, betting, predictions and picks for the three best games of FIBA World Cup betting from the third day of second round games from Beijing, China.

Poland vs Argentina FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Poland vs. Argentina (-9) O/U 161

Poland beat Russia 79-74 in their first 2nd round game where they shot poorly (35.8%), but played good defense holding the Russians to a FG% of 40%. They were very physical in the game and had twice as many free throws as Russia (38-19) and hit 35 of their shots from the charity stripe.

Adam Waczynski and Mateusz Ponitka led the way for the Poles in the win over Russia and were only two of three players scoring double digits in the game.

Argentina had no problem in their last game beating Venezuela 87-67. Luis Scola had 15 points and six rebounds and Gabriel Deck came up big going for 25 points while totaling 27 in his first three games in the tournament.

Argentina has the team to be physical with Poland and not let them take a ton of free throws. Scola and company have too many weapons and are a deeper team and they will keep up their impressive run in the World Cup beating Poland and covering the spread even giving nine points.

Italy vs Puerto Rico FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Italy (-15.5) vs. Puerto Rico O/U 154.5

Italy put up a good fight in their last game falling to Spain 67-60 where they were outscored by eight points in the 2nd half. For the game they played good D holding Spain to 39.3% shooting, but they only shot 35.4% from the floor.

Danilo Gallinari and Luigi Datome were the only Italy players in double digits and combined for 27 points and Marco Belinelli struggled, big time, only scoring seven points on 3/16 shooting.

Puerto Rico was throttled in their last game losing to Serbia 90-47 where they were plain bad on both ends of the floor. David Huertas led the team with only 11 points and was the only player with more than eight points.

Italy had their chances in the game against Spain but came up short. They will have no problem handling Puerto Rico, who will be outmatched again, and they will easily win and cover the spread.

Spain vs Servia FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Spain (-9) vs. Serbia O/U 159.5

This is the big basketball betting game of Sunday and Serbia has won their four games in the World Cup by an average margin of 40.8 ppg. They crushed Puerto Rico in their last game with reserve Nemanja Bjelica and Boban Marjanovic combining for 34 points and Nikola Jokic going for a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in less than 17 minutes on the court.

Spain relied on their defense to beat Italy 67-60 in their last game where they struggled to shoot the rock. Marc Gasol only had two points, Ricky Rubio had 15, but only shot 36.4% from the floor, and Juancho Hernangomez was key in the game going for 16 points on 60% shooting.

Serbia has not been tested in the World Cup so far, but that will change in this game. The Spanish have more skilled players in the backcourt, but even with Gasol the Serbs have the edge in the frontcourt, especially with Jokic. I see a close one in this one and while Spain may pull out the win it will be close and Serbia will, at least, cover the spread.

Day two of the second round of the Federation Internationale de Basketball (FIBA) World Cup has four more games on the basketball betting schedule for Saturday, in addition to four games for the Classification Rounds.

BettingPlanet.com previews the tips, odds, betting, predictions and picks for the FIBA World Cup betting second round games from China.

Australia v Dominican Republic FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Australia (-22) vs. Dominican Republic O/U 161

Australia are the big basketball betting favorites in this 2nd round game and they won all three of their games in winning Group H, which was the group of death. They won two of their three group games by double figures and their balance showed with three different high scorers in the three games. Patty Mills leads the team averaging 20 ppg and five players are averaging at least nine ppg.

The Dominican Republic comes into this game after getting crushed 90-56 in their last group game facing France. They shot a woeful 27.9% from the floor in the game and to have any chance in this game they have to slow the pace and shoot the rock better.

The Dominicans will be successful slowing down the game, but they will struggle to score. They will lose pretty badly, but in a lower scoring game they will cover the 22-point spread.

Brazil v Czech Republic FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• Brazil (-6) vs. Czech Republic O/U 162

Brazil won their group, which included Greece, and are a 6-point betting favorites facing a Czech Republic team whose only loss was to team USA. Veteran Leandro Barbosa has led the team averaging 13.7 ppg, but only went for eight points in the last group game. They need to repeat their performance when they beat Greece by one-point playing great defense holding the Greeks to 40% shooting.

The Czechs come into this game hot beating Turkey by 15 points in the last group game even though they were underdogs by 8.5 points. Ondrej Balvín went for 24 points and Jaromir Bohacik had 20 for the Czech Republic in the Turkey win where they shot 59% from the floor and held the Turks to 38.3% shooting.

The Czechs will step up again in this game and play Brazil close and while they may not win, they will cover the spread getting six points.

France v Lithuania FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• France (-4) vs. Lithuania O/U 153.5

France won their last two games of their group in blowouts and while they did win the group it was one of the easiest ones. Lithuania was the 2nd place team in Group H in the Group of Death.

The big matchup in this game is the solid defense of France led by Rudy Gobert facing the great frontcourt of Lithuania led by Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valanciunas, who did not play well in the last game, which was a loss to Australia.

Three players for France are averaging at least 12 ppg led by Evan Fournier (16 ppg) and Gobert is averaging a double-double. The French will pull this one out playing solid defense in the pain and getting balanced scoring and will also cover the spread.

USA v Greece FIBA World Cup Basketball Betting

• USA (-8.5) vs. Greece O/U 168.5

Team USA throttled Japan by 43 points in their last group game while narrowly avoiding losing in OT in their previous game facing Turkey, who did not make it out of the group. Starting FW Jayson Tatum was injured in the Turkey game and will miss this one. The deep American squad led by Kemba Walker (14 ppg) has five players averaging in double figures with all of them shooting over 45% from the floor.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has averaged 15.7 ppg and 7.3 rpg in the tournament and Georgios Printezis leads the squad averaging 16.3 ppg. The Greek Freak’s defense will be key in this game and the team will likely take a page frokm Turkey and play zone, which may frustrate the Yanks.

After failing to cover the spread in their first two games team USA did in their last game and they will have another impressive performance against Greece winning and covering.
