Israel vs Greece Prediction & Picks - EuroBasket

Prediction published on 9/7/25, 11:32 AM  by Lou Aguila in EuroBasket Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece will try to punch their ticket to the quarterfinal round of the 2025 EuroBasket as they square off against Israel in the round of 16 on Sunday.

The Greek Freak has been a one-man wrecking crew in this tournament, averaging 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. DraftKings has set a steep price for Antetokounmpo’s point total against Israel, with the bookmaker only paying $100 for $125 bet if Giannis scores at least 25 points.

On the other hand, bettors can win a $100 profit from a $100 bet if Giannis goes on to drop at least 31 points against a really good Israeli squad.

But can the Greek Freak deliver a monster performance on Sunday?

Teams’ Current Form:

Giannis Antetokounmpo has carried Greece to a 4-1 record, edging Italy with a similar 4-1 record for the top spot in Group C. Greece opened its EurobBasket campaign with a 75-66 win over Italy before routing Cyprus 96-69 and Georgia 94-53. Giannis dropped 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists to help Greece eliminate former European champion Spain 90-86 in the final game of the group stages. Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by NBA center Jusuf Nurkic, dealt Greece its only defeat in the preliminary rounds, 80-77. Antetokounmpo did not play in that match because of some discomfort in his knee.

Israel is a team that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Israel finished in a top-heavy Group C with a 3-2 record, scoring wins over Iceland 83-71, France 82-69, and Belgium 92-89. Their two losses in the preliminaries came from Poland 64-66 and Slovenia 106-96. Portland Trail Blazers big man Deni Avdija is averaging 24.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in the tournament.
