As you can see, the USA is a heavy favorite to win the Gold with Canada, France and Serbia bringing up the rear. Team USA has already downed Canada and Australia in Abu Dhabi at their Summer Showcase.
Canada, France, Australia and Serbia are packed with NBA players, which is why they re considered teams that could make a run for a podium. Australia made a late push against the USA on Monday, losing by just 6 points, and they re a team that feels slightly undervalued here. Australia avoids the USA and France in the group stage, but Canada will be a tough out.
After Spain, odds start to drop off quite a bit. Brazil, Puerto Rico, South Sudan and Japan all have odds above +10000.

Men s Basketball Olympic Group Lineup
The 12 teams are divided into 3 groups for the opening Group phase of the tournament. The top 2 teams from each group automatically move on to the quarterfinals round, as well as the 2 best 3rd place teams.
Each team plays the other and nets 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss and 0 points for a loss by forfeit. Once 8 spots have been earned the competition becomes an 8-team elimination tournament.
Here s a look at the Groups for the 2024 Paris Olympics, as well as their odds to win their group per :
Group A
Canada: 170
Greece: +370
Australia: +600
Spain: +800
Group B
France: -200
Germany: +175
Japan: +2800
Brazil: +5000
Group C
USA: -1800
Serbia: +800
Puerto Rico: +3000
South Sudan: +5500
Group A is by far the most competitive group, with all teams having a legitimate shot at winning the group. Group B seems to be a 2-horse race between France and Germany while Group C is effectively the USA s to lose.
