2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Odds & Picks: South Sudan vs. Philippines
South Sudan vs. Philippines
South Sudan allowed Serbia to shoot nearly 62% from the field in their 115-83 loss. South Sudan has the offense to stick with anyone. But the defense has been questionable. The rebounding has also been a significant question mark. Serbia added 38 rebounds to South Sudan's 25 in that last matchup. They'll face a Philippines squad that finished 0-3 in the Group Stage. The Philippines have Jordan Clarkson, who just added 23 points against Italy in a loss. However, the bench is weak, and the team just doesn't have much depth. I'll side with South Sudan.
Pick: South Sudan -1.5 (-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.
