EuroBasket 2022: Odds to win the tournament

Slovenia took home the gold medal at EuroBasket in 2017 but Serbia is the favorite to win the tournament in 2022.

At EuroBasket 2022, Serbia will receive a major boost with two-time NBA MVP Jokic taking the floor, making them the understandable favorite.

Advice: Serbia is loaded with talent and has the reigning NBA MVP, Greece has the best player in the world, France has plenty of depth and Slovenia has Doncic. All four of those teams will contend for gold, but if you're looking for a value play, Lithuania has dominating twin towers in Jonas Valanciunas and Domantas Sabonis.

Rudy Gobert+2800Simone Fontecchio+2800

Advice: Doncic is the favorite, but you can't go wrong with him, Antetokounmpo or Jokic. If you're looking for a value pick, Fournier ranked second to only Doncic in total points at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics among players competing at EuroBasket 2022. France will be looking to him for a lot of their scoring.

EuroBasket 2022: Odds to lead tournament in rebounding

France's Rudy Gobert is the favorite to lead EuroBasket 2022 in rebounding. Other elite rebounders like Antetokounmpo, Jokic and Valanciunas join him atop the odds list.

Jusuf Nurkic+1800Tornike Shengelia+2200

Advice: Gobert will hold down the paint for France on both ends, corraling nearly every rebound that comes his way. If you're looking for a value pick, Doncic nearly led the entire 2020 Tokyo Olympics in total rebounds and grabbed two more than Gobert did for the tournament.

EuroBasket 2022: Odds to lead tournament in assists

Doncic is the heavy favorite to lead the tournament in assists, while Nick Calathes, Jokic and Vasilije Micic come in after the Mavericks star.

Goran Dragic+1400Thomas Heurtel+1600

Advice: Doncic will almost certainly lead the tournament in assists, but if you're looking for a sleeper pick, Satoransky at +1200 might be your guy. He finished second to Doncic in assists per game at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
