EuroBasket 2025: Greece vs. Georgia prediction, pick for Sunday 8/31/25

As the EuroBasket 2025 tournament churns on, the haves are being separated from the have-nots. The Greeks have acquitted themselves well in this tournament, going 2-0 to kick off the group stage. They’re the only undefeated team in Group C. Meanwhile, Georgia is tied with a pack of three other teams, all of which have a 1-1 record. A loss would be a significant blow to their chances of advancing. It’s safe to say this will be an extremely competitive game.

The Greeks are 11.5-point favorites and hold -700 odds on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 157.5 points. Let’s look at the best bets and predictions for this Greece–Georgia contest.


Greece vs. Georgia prediction, pick

The Greeks had a big test in their first game and passed with flying colors. Italy’s team has some strong talent, but Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. got out to a great start and kept the Italians at arm’s distance all game. Antetokounmpo scored 31 points, which sure helped put a bow on things.

They didn’t even need the two-time MVP to dispatch Cyprus in their second game, winning handily. But the Georgian team presents a different kind of test.

Georgia has a LOT of size. The starting frontcourt of Goga Bitadze and Sandro Mamukelashvili are established NBA talents that bring different skills to the table. Bitadze is a rim-protecting maestro who rebounds and finishes lobs at a high level, while Mamukelashvili can score, rebound and create for others in stat-stuffing fashion. It’s a formula that pulled in a huge win over Spain.

The goal of the Georgian team is to drag their opponents down into the mud. Limit transition chances, win on the glass, and contain things in the paint. Even if it’s not a winning formula, it’s enough to keep points off the board all around.

Best Bet: Under 157.5 Total Points (-112)
