Center Nikola Milutinov was out of the Serbian roster due to health issues.

{{EuroBasket 2022 Group D matches|Serbia vs Netherlands|class="collapsible collapsed"|result=W}}

A Dutch forward Worthy de Jong played one of the best games of his career, getting 28 points for the Netherlands, but Serbia had another gear in them and were unfazed en route to a winning start, a 100–76 victory in front of a large group of their fans in Czech Republic. The main reason for Serbia never losing their composure was the fact they have center Nikola Jokić and guard Vasilije Micić in their ranks. Both stars played outstanding games to safely guide Serbia to a first win ahead of their match-up with the group hosts on Saturday. The Netherlands were a stubborn opponent on Friday night, not giving up for even a second. Their best stretch was in the beginning of the third-quarter, when Worthy de Jong helped them reduce the deficit to 56–51 with five to play in third. However, Jokić and Micić remained calm and created a 14-3 run to get back into double digits. They were on cruise control the rest of the way, even with Oranje coming back to single digit deficit a couple of times. Guard Micić was impressive with a 15-point, 12-assist double-double, while Jokić finished with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, sitting out the entire fourth quarter. Serbia were +10 in rebounds, +8 in steals, +10 in assists, -9 in turnovers, +9 in points from turnovers, +10 in fast break points, +17 in second chance points, +24 in points in the paint, +8 in points from the bench. They are just warming up, and that's a scary sight when they scored 100 points in this one. Guard Vanja Marinković had five threes and 18 points, center Dušan Ristić and forward Nikola Kalinić were also in double figures, all 11 players played and all 11 of them scored. Perfect start for Serbian coach Svetislav Pešić, who is still waiting for Nikola Milutinov to join. The Netherlands made Serbia work, and Worthy de Jong scored 28 points in 27 minutes, done on 11-of-14 shooting from the field.

• TCL Player of the Game: Nikola Jokić and Vasilije Micić

Center Nikola Milutinov was out of the Serbian roster due to health issues, as well as a Czech guard Tomáš Satoranský.

{{EuroBasket 2022 Group D matches|Czech Republic vs Serbia|class="collapsible collapsed"|result=W}}

It was always going to be an uphill battle for Czech Republic, and after learning that their captain Tomáš Satoranský would not suit up for the game against Serbia, it got tougher. Svetislav Pešić's men used a dominant second quarter to escape their opposition and secure their 2-0 record. Backed by the crowd in the sold-out arena in Prague, the hosts were holding on in the first quarter, ending it with a five point deficit. However, Serbia's next huddle proved to be the winning one, as head coach Pešić found the panacea for the poison already after 10 minutes. A much more determined Serbian squad came out in the second, and a 15-0 run followed, suddenly making a couple of thousand Serbian fans louder than the Czech majority in the stands. The biggest lead was 23 points in the third quarter. However, the hosts did have one final push to raise the volume in the arena again. The Czechs got back to a single-digit deficit a few times in the last quarter, only to see Vasilije Micić, Nikola Jokić and Vanja Marinković come up with big shots and assists, pushing the lead back to safety. Serbian center Jokić was unstoppable, recording 18 points in 25 minutes of playing time, done on 7-of-11 shooting from the field, with 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Turnovers hurt Czech Republic, as they committed 15 of them, which Serbia turned into an 18–8 advantage in points off turnovers. At the same time, Serbia lost possession only five times in the entire game. It finished 81–68, meaning Serbia sits on top of the group standings or now. Czech Republic are now in a do-or-die situation at 0–2 with three games remaining.{{cite web |title=Srbija nepotrebno komplikovala, ali pobedila – za 2/2 na Evrobasketu |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/eurobasket2022/orlovi.php?nav_id=2207240 |website=b92.net | date=9 March 2022 |access-date=3 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Nemoj da mračiš, popij svetlo u Pragu: Jokićev dabl-dabl za drugu pobedu Srbije, Česi hrabri do kraja |url=https://mozzartsport.com/kosarka/vesti/nemoj-da-mracis-popij-svetlo-u-pragu-jokicev-dabl-dabl-za-drugu-pobedu-srbije-cesi-hrabri-do-kraja/429629 |website=mozzartsport.com |access-date=3 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=E, TAKO SRBI IGRAJU KOŠARKU!

{{EuroBasket 2022 Group D matches|Serbia vs Finland|class="collapsible collapsed"|result=W}}

Backed by their 5,000 traveling fans and led by their NBA star, Lauri Markkanen, Finland hoped they could make life difficult for Serbia on Monday. The 2017 runners-up however responded with a statement win, 100–70, which lifts them to 3–0 in Group D. Serbia missed only two shots in the first six and a half minutes, dished out 8 assists on 11 field goals and scored 26 points by that point already. Finland made a run to reduce the deficit to 33–22 at the end of the first quarter, but a merciless 11–0 Serbian run made it clear that there will be no upset in Prague. Serbia had 62 at the half, Finland passed that mark only at the 2:07 mark in the fourth quarter. Meaning, Serbia scored more in 20 minutes than Finland in 38. Serbian coach Svetislav Pešić showed a masterful display of out-pacing Finland, matching their intensity by going even harder after them, and balancing out the minutes and roles for all his players. The one who shined the brightest was once again Nikola Jokić, with 13 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists. Also in double digits: Vasilije Micić (14 points, 7 assists), Nemanja Nedović (14 points), Nikola Kalinić (13 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds), Vladimir Lučić (12 points) and Marko Gudurić (11 points). Serbia's high percentages were due to their good looks all game long. They got 44 points in the paint, exactly the double of Finland's tally in the key.{{cite web |title=Stotka kao od šale: Srbija na +30 |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/eurobasket2022/orlovi.php?nav_id=2208484 |website=b92.net | date=9 May 2022 |access-date=5 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Igramo košarku, da se smrzneš!

==== Israel ====

A Serbian guard Vanja Marinković did not suit up for the second game, still recovering from his stomach issues.

{{EuroBasket 2022 Group D matches|Israel vs Serbia|class="collapsible collapsed"|result=W}}

Israel put up a fight, came within two points in the fourth quarter, but a quick Serbian 14–0 run put the game out of their reach. Serbia were bothered by Israel's matchup zone, but still able to stay in front for most of the game. Their biggest lead was by 18 points, however Israeli Deni Avdija (also holding Serbian citizenship) decided to make things interesting. With his scoring, passing and elite defense that saw him guard everybody from Serbian guard Vasilije Micić to center Nikola Jokić, Israel went on an inspired run to reduce the gap to 65–63 in the fourth quarter. That only made the Serbian machine switch to a higher speed. A swift 14–0 run wasn't powered by Jokić nor Micić. Serbian guard Ognjen Jaramaz exploded and collected 10 points, guiding Serbia back towards double digit lead, and ultimately to their fourth win in four tries. Jokić had 29 points on 11-of-13 shooting, with 11 rebounds and 5 assists. His defense was also on the highest possible level, 4 steals and 2 blocks got him an efficiency rating of 46, a game-high by some distance and a new tournament high. Serbia had 10 steals, forced 17 turnovers, went +11 in fast break points, more than enough to win this. Serbia once again had Micić in a good mood, 19 points, and forward Nikola Kalinić was also in double figures with 10.{{cite web |title=Srbija oscilirala, Jokić dominirao – "orlovi" na 4/4! |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/eurobasket2022/orlovi.php?nav_id=2208960 |website=b92.net | date=9 June 2022 |access-date=7 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Jednostavno najbolji: MVP veče Nikole Jokića, dabl-dabl sa 29 poena i indeksom 46! |url=https://mozzartsport.com/kosarka/vesti/jednostavno-najbolji-mvp-vece-nikole-jokica-dabl-dabl-sa-29-poena-i-indeksom-46/429964 |website=mozzartsport.com |access-date=7 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=KRAJ: Izrael - Srbija 78:89 |url=https://mozzartsport.com/kosarka/vesti/kraj-izrael-srbija-7889/429949 |website=mozzartsport.com |access-date=7 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Neverovatni Jokić predvodio Srbiju do četvrte pobede! |url=https://sportklub.rs/eurobasket-2022/vesti-eurobasket-2022/srbija-izrael-evropsko-prvenstvo-livestream-sportklub/ |website=sportklub.rs |date=6 September 2022 |access-date=7 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Nikola Jokic's 29-11-5-4 line gets Serbia to 4-0 |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/eurobasket/1387264/serbia-beats-israel-89-78-eurobasket/ |website=eurohoops.net |date=6 September 2022 |access-date=7 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Valiant Israel comes up short in 89-78 loss to Serbia; Need win vs Czechia for knockout round spot |url=https://sportsrabbi.com/en/valiant-israel-comes-up-short-in-89-78-loss-to-serbia-need-win-vs-czechia-for-knockout-round-spot/ |website=sportsrabbi.com |date=6 September 2022 |access-date=7 September 2022}}

{{EuroBasket 2022 Group D matches|Serbia vs Poland|class="collapsible collapsed"|result=W}}

Serbia were the clear favorite to win their Group, and they delivered with a perfect record, two wins clear of everyone else. Serbian center Nikola Jokić sat out the fourth quarter, and still was the best player in a 96–69 win over Poland on Thursday that concluded group action. He looked inspired as he collected 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting, done in less than 18 minutes on the floor. Serbia finished the group stage at 5–0, Poland fell to 3–2. Finland, who had the tiebreaker over the Poles take second place in the group and hence coach Igor Miličić and his men drop to third place in the final standings. There were a number of short runs by Serbia that handed them a double digit lead early on, and it kept growing all the way until they got to 52–33 at the break. Poland was trailing by 13 early on in the third quarter, but a timeout by coach Svetislav Pešić resulted in Serbia pulling away decisively for a 25-point lead by the end of the period. Serbia dominated the boxscore, but perhaps the best indicator of their exhibition were the points in the pain, where they oustcored Poland 48–22. Serbia were perfect in Prague and got better with each passing game. Serbian center Nikola Milutinov made his EuroBasket 2022 debut with 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field.{{cite web |title=Moćnoj Srbiji izmakla "stotka" – rezervisana je za Italijane |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/eurobasket2022/orlovi.php?nav_id=2210293 |website=b92.net | date=9 August 2022 |access-date=8 September 2022}}{{cite web |title=Odličan, pet!

Italy pulled off the first upset of the Round of 16 with a 94–86 shock over Serbia to reach the Quarter-Finals. One summer after surprising Serbia in the Final of the 2020 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade to reach the Tokyo Games, Italy worked their team basketball magic again – and doing it without head coach Gianmarco Pozzecco who was ejected in the third quarter. Serbia raced ahead by 11 points in the first quarter and the cushion grew to 14 points in the second quarter. Italy came back and were hanging tough down just 61–57 with under 5 minutes left in the third quarter when Pozzecco left the court in tears after being ejected from the game with a second technical foul. Italy took the lead 66–63 and were down 68–66 after 30 minutes. But Italy opened the fourth quarter with a 16–2 run to lead 82–70. Serbia could not regain the momentum. Italian guard Marco Spissu came up for an incredible second half as the Italian guard poured in 19 of his 22 points in the final 20 minutes. He also finished the game with 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Nikola Jokić's 32 points and 13 rebounds were not enough for Serbia. Italy shot 36.2 percent from three-point range on 32 attempts per game in the Group Phase and then made 16-of-38 for 42.0 percent against Serbia. Italy committed only 7 turnovers and forced Serbia into 16 miscues for an advantage of 16–6 in points off turnovers. Italy held Serbia to 10.0 percent below their field goal shooting and 11.0 percent below their two-point shooting.{{cite web |title=ŠOK!
