MANILA – The 2023 FIBA World Cup begins on Friday, with betting odds heavily favoring the United States to win the gold medal. A victory in the 2023 FIBA World Cup would make the United States the only nation to win six World Cup titles.

USA’s -125 legal sports betting odds make them a heavy favorite to win the tournament, but many other countries possess NBA talent and betting value.
