Yeah, actually there are a lot of NBA superstars who will join their respective countries for the event.
I was actually shocked at why Slovenia is a favorite although they only have Luka Doncic there as the popular player. I guess what they did in EuroBasket has also an effect on the odds.
Next would be Canada but Jamal Murray had decided to not play during these exhibition games and might not even take part in FIBA all together:

Barrett, Luguentz Dort, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dwight Powell, Dillon Brooks, and Kelly Olynyk. Additionally, Trae Bell Haynes, Kyle Alexander, Melvin Eji, Zach Edey, and Phil and Thomas Scrubb."

Don't forget about Australia.

One of the reasons why they are one of the top 5 of the favorites right now.
Later we have
Iran versus Jordan for a friendly game. Jordan as favorite @1.48
Tomorrow is what I want to see.
Italy versus Puerto Rico. Italy is the favorite @1.13 They are undefeated in the friendly games and better, they defeated Greece and Serbia. Let's see if they can continue the streak.
