Today's basketball best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.

Slovenia vs. Japan

BET: Total points UNDER 182.5 with PointsBet (-110)

Slovenia's first game was obviously highlighted by the ridiculous brilliance of Luka Doncic with the 22-year-old posting 48 points to break the record for the most points scored by an NBA player in an Olympic Games match.

Due to this output from Luka, the points total for Slovenia's next game against Japan has jumped up to be by far the biggest of the tournament yet.

But with the spread sitting at 21 points in favor of Slovenia, this is looking like a pretty easy win for them which should see Luka take a step back (and maybe some step-back threes) and play less minutes this time around.

With that being the likely outcome, this points total looks much too high, with most other games right now sitting around 165.5.

Spain vs. Argentina

BET: Total points OVER 162.5 with PointsBet (-110)

As above, most matches throughout Tokyo 2020 have has points totals in the 160s and this game is no different!

When Argentina last played, they were absolutely dismantled by Luka and as good as he was, their poor defense was a big reason that the total was absolutely smashed!

With that in mind, we've got this one going over, with both teams excelling on offense more than D!
