Can US Women Make History In Women’s Basketball?
Women's Gold Medal Basketball Odds, Predictions & More
Check the Paris Olympics dates, because the women’s basketball tournament is coming to an end and the gold medal game is set. The Women’s Gold Medal Basketball Odds are here and Team USA remain the heavy favorites.
The U.S. women’s basketball team is on the cusp of history, sitting just one win away from an unprecedented eighth consecutive gold medal. Their dominance has been remarkable, with each victory by double digits except for a slightly more competitive second half against Belgium.
The Americans now face their final hurdle: a gold medal showdown against Gabby Williams and France. This matchup presents a chance for the U.S. to achieve a remarkable 61st consecutive Olympic victory.
Team USA boasts a perfect record in the tournament, with all wins by double digits. Their starting lineup seems solidified, featuring a core of Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, Chelsea Gray, and Jackie Young (who has emerged as a key contributor). Head coach Cheryl Reeve, who led the team to gold at the 2022 FIBA World Cup, continues to guide the squad.
While the U.S. has historically dominated France in Olympic matchups (winning all three previous encounters), the French team presents a significant challenge. Led by Gabby Williams, France will aim to spoil the Americans’ perfect run and claim their first Olympic gold.
In Tokyo 2020 the USA team won handedly to grab the gold medal over Japan. France grabbed bronze but will be improving on that finish in front of their home crowd no matter what happens in the gold medal game.
The Women’s Gold Medal Basketball Odds have the US as -15.5 favorites to take home the gold. They are -3000 to win the gold and France are +1120 underdogs to win on their home floor. The total for the game is set at 156.5.

As far as the women’s tournament goes, all went as expected. Team USA and Team France made their way through the tournament and will battle it out for the gold medal. Team USA are still heavy favorites, although, somehow, betting on them at the start of the tournament would have been less lucrative than waiting until the -3000 number now. Betting on France has also significantly decreased in value, going from +2900 to win gold to now being +1120.

France, USA Advance To Finals

France secured a dramatic 81-75 overtime victory over Belgium to advance to the Olympic gold medal game. Gabby Williams led France with 18 points, including nine crucial points in overtime. Belgium, led by Emma Meesseman’s 19 points and 14 rebounds, mounted a strong comeback but fell short.
Other Gold Medal Game Odds
The Women’s Gold Medal Basketball Odds are pretty straightforward with Team USA expected to dominate once again. The Olympics 2024 Women’s Basketball – MVP award is a bit less straightforward. Here are the current odds:
A’ja Wilson
-180
Breanna Stewart
+200
Marine Johannes
+1100
Gabby Williams
+1500
Wilson has all but locked up the WNBA MVP for this season, but adding an Olympic MVP would further add to her impressive trophy case. Stewart, a legend in Team USA women’s basketball, will fight for the award as well.
