2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Odds & Picks: France vs. Ivory Coast
France vs. Ivory Coast
The France we've been waiting for showed up. It's a little too late, but France looks to be back after an 82-55 win over Iran. The glass dominated Guerschon Yabusele and Rudy Gobert. Meanwhile, Evan Fournier and Nic Batum rarely played. Maybe that's what France needed. They'll face an Ivory Coast squad that lost 94-84 to an excellent Lebanon team. The Ivory Coast allowed Lebanon to shoot 50% from the floor and 50% from three. Why can't France do that? Give me the French to earn a dominant win. They're giving other guys a chance to shine, and it's paying off.
Pick: France -18.5 (-110)

Understanding the Rules
FIBA basketball differs slightly from NBA rules, impacting gameplay and, by extension, betting strategies. Some key differences include a shorter game length (40 minutes instead of 48), a longer three-point line, and different foul regulations. Make sure to familiarize yourself with these rules before placing your bets.
