Dan Evans might need some of the "magic pills" Novak Djokovic took in his opening-round match to have any chance of upsetting the seven-time Wimbledon champion on Thursday.

Speaking of upsetting, our Evans vs. Djokovic prediction suggests the Serbian won't have any stomach issues to detract him from the task at hand. But can the 35-year-old Evans keep things competitive and extend the match to a fourth or fifth set?

Djokovic, receiving the third-shortest Wimbledon odds to win his 25th major trophy, is the gigantic -2500 betting favorite at our best sports betting sites to advance to the third round.

🏆 Dan Evans vs. Novak Djokovic expert pick to win

Evans won his first-round match in straight sets, the first time the Brit triumphed at Wimbledon in his last four appearances.

And he has a winning record against Djokovic, which is almost as rare as someone entering the gates of Wimbledon without purchasing a Pimm's. I omitted a critical tidbit: They've only met once, four years ago when Evans was at the peak of his professional power, ranking among the top 30. His ranking has since plummeted to 154th.

The only person who can beat Djokovic in these early rounds is Djokovic himself. He struggled with a stomach illness in the opening match but recovered after taking "magical pills."

As long as he avoids any such ailments, the Joker should win in straight sets, like he did in the first four rounds at the French Open. It's a three-star play due to the short odds.

💰 Best Dan Evans vs. Novak Djokovic prop bet

✅ Under 32.5 games ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📊 Best odds: -125 via DraftKings ($10 to win $8)
🔢 Implied probability: 55.56%

DraftKings offers the Under on 31.5 games at -118. I prefer to take an extra game at a slightly shorter -125. The potential profit difference on a $10 bet is just $0.47. Some of our other best sports betting apps didn't have odds on this market at the time of writing.

For this number to hit the Over, Evans will either have to win a set or take Djokovic to a tiebreak while remaining competitive in the other two sets.

That's a distinct possibility, and I expect this bet to go to the wire, which is why the extra game could make all the difference.

I'm predicting a 7-6, 6-3, 6-4, victory for Djokovic, which would total 32 games.
