MANILA – The United States is heavily favored with -25000 odds to defeat their first FIBA World Cup opponent on Saturday.

United States Vs New Zealand Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA | -37.0 (-110) | -25000 | O186.5 (-110) |
| New Zealand | +37.0 (-110) | +2000 | U186.5 (-110) |
The United States are without top American NBA talent like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry, but odds at online NBA sportsbooks show the New Zealand roster can’t compare to one of the weaker USA squads in recent memory.
The biggest advantage for the Americans is size. New Zealand only has one player taller than 6’9” and has smaller guards. Meanwhile, the United States has four players over that height, one being the 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr.
