EuroBasket 2025: Serbia vs. Latvia: How To Watch
Serbia vs. Latvia tips off Saturday, Aug. 31 at 11 AM ET (6 PM local time in Latvia).
In the United States, games can be streamed on Courtside 1891, FIBA’s official streaming platform. All EuroBasket games also can be viewed through DAZN on the Courtside app.
Jokic vs. Porzingis
Both big men come in off strong games.
Porzingis had a rough opening outing in a loss to Turkiye, but on Friday he had 22 points and seven rebounds against Estonia.
Jokic has looked like himself — the best player in the world — and dropped a casual 23 and 10 on Portugal.
Whatever happens with the big men, what makes Serbia the favorite in this matchup is its depth on the rest of the roster. Serbia features NBA players Bogdan Bogdanovic (Clippers), Nikola Jovic (Heat), Nikola Topic (Thunder) and Tristan Vukcevic (Wizards). They also have former NBA players Vasilije Micic, Filip Petrusev, and Alen Smailagic. Latvia does have former NBA player Davis Bertans.
