PARIS – The United States men’s basketball team has released their roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics, with the selection of 12 former NBA All-Stars causing Team USA’s odds to shift from a -240 favorite to -260.

The announcement of the team has not changed any other Olympic basketball betting odds of Paris 2024.

What is Team USA’s Final Roster for Paris 2024

Kawhi Leonard was the final choice for the Team USA roster of 12 current NBA players, with the star forward giving the Americans a strong mix of guards, forwards, and centers for the Paris Games.

Team USA Position Breakdowns

Guards:

  • Steph Curry
  • Devin Booker
  • Tyrese Haliburton
  • Anthony Edwards
  • Jrue Holiday

Forwards:

  • LeBron James
  • Kevin Durant
  • Kawhi Leonard
  • Jayson Tatum

Centers:

  • Joel Embiid
  • Bam Adebayo
  • Anthony Davis

Team USA’s inclusion of three centers may be the most notable development that caused their slight shift on the BetOnline board with 2024 Olympic betting odds, as many other teams feature some of the best centers in the world.

  • Serbia (+400): Nikola Jokic
  • Canada (+600): Zach Edey, Dwight Powell, and Kelly Olynyk
  • France (+800): Rudy Gobert

The 2024 Olympics will not be the first time that international centers are at the forefront, as many have starred before. In fact, teams that feature high-level centers have given Team USA trouble in past international basketball tournaments have often given the Americans trouble.

Past losses against Lithuania, Germany, and Canada at the 2023 Fiba World Cup were all against teams that starting-caliber NBA centers played for like Jonas Valanciunas, Moritz Wagner, and Olynyk. Those losses are likely why Bam Adebayo, Anthony Davis, and Joel Embiid are all on the team. They are all strong defensive players who have made at least one All-Defensive Second Team or better in recent years.

Given the strength of the USA Basketball roster in the frontcourt to counter previous weakness, they are likely the best team with Olympic betting odds.

  • Jayson Tatum has reportedly committed to play for the US Men’s Basketball Olympic Team.
  • He joins Damian Lillard and Draymond Green on the roster so far.
  • The commitment of Tatum brings Bradley Beal into the spotlight as a potential member, as the two are well acquainted going back to high school.

LAS VEGAS - Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum will play for the United States Men’s Basketball team in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

The United States tends to be a prohibitive favorite when it comes to Olympic basketball betting, but the injuries in the current NBA season have left the team composition in doubt.

Players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis are seen as unlikely to play, given their need to recover in the offseason. This leaves spots that need to be filled on the roster, which is starting to take shape after Tatum’s selection.

The United States’ odds to win the gold medal in Men’s basketball have not changed much since the announcement.

It seems as though players of Tatum’s caliber are the expected members of the US Men’s Basketball team, and him being on the team is par for the course as far as the online sportsbooks are concerned.

Tokyo 2021 - Men's Basketball

  • USA -300
  • Serbia +800
  • Spain +800
  • France +1700
  • Australia +2500
  • Greece +2500
  • Lithuania +2500
  • Argentina +3000
  • Croatia +5000
  • Slovenia +5000
  • Turkey +5000
  • Venezuela +5000

Tatum’s selection also brings speculation about Bradley Beal playing on the Olympic team to a fever pitch.

Tatum and Beal are old friends from St. Louis, and they were seen as something of a package deal as far as Olympic play goes.

The US Men’s Basketball team could be shaping up nicely with Tatum, Beal, Damian Lillard and Draymond Green.

Beal has yet to commit, while Lillard and Green are committed to the team along with Tatum.

The US Men’s Basketball Olympic Team will be coached by Gregg Popovich, head coach of the San Antonio Spurs.

While all of the stars in the NBA will not be brought to bear, there should be enough star power on the roster to make the United States significant favorites for the gold medal.
