Eurobasket ’22 is now down to 16 teams, with the knockout round beginning Saturday in Berlin. This tournament has been on hold for five years, and the enthusiasm with which these national teams play is on an Olympic level.<\/p>\n

So let’s take a look at the 16 matchups and give you an idea of where there is money to be made, aside from betting that Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Nikola Jokic and going to grab most of the attention as the tournament headliners.<\/p>\n

Here are the games lineup and where to watch:<\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n

Turkey vs. France<\/strong>: Evan Fournier for tournament MVP is not the worst wagering idea in the history of wagering ideas, and he is leading the team in scoring at 15.0 points per game but is just 103rd in 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

The French have a history of folding in big games — or at least they did until last summer’s Olympics, when they went 5-0 before dropping the gold medal game against the United States — but they also have Rudy Gobert, along with a level of international experience that trumps what the Turks have.<\/p>\n

France lost its opener to Germany and beat Lithuania, Hungary, and Bosnia-Herzegovina before getting 47 dropped by Luka Doncic. Turkey defeated Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Belgium (not exactly Murderers Row) and lost to Georgia and Spain. France is favored by 8 1\/2, which seems about right, given their success in big games as tournament move forward. The over\/under of 153 1\/2 seems low given that France plays an uptempo NBA style.<\/p>\n

Where to Watch<\/strong>: Lucien on the Lower East Side (14 1st Ave.). Yes, the neighborhood is gentrified, but the French pubs keep things as they were a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Slovenia vs. Belgium:<\/strong> Luka Doncic is the guy everyone is raving about, and Belgium cannot stop him. If this game was about who makes the better chocolate and the better beer, Belgium would win hands down. But that is not the case. Belgium snuck in with an upset win over Spain in the preliminary round, but they are probably the weakest team at this level and may only have to defend Doncic for two or 2 1\/2 quarters because this shapes up as a blowout. When you are facing a superstud who can do stuff like this …<\/p>\n
