Here are our best picks for Slovenia vs. Australia ⏬

BEST BET: Slovenia at the spread (-2.5) with PointsBet Sportsbook (-102)

The 'books can hardly split the two teams who both would still be having nightmares about the missed opportunities they had in their respective semifinals. Overall, Slovenia have been the more impressive side than Australia who have effective but have often had to grind out losses. The Australians may be feeling a little deflated having set themselves for the gold medal game before falling short after a second half capitulation whereas Slovenia are playing with house money in their Olympic debut. This could be a runaway win for Luka and the Slovenians. 

BET: Joe Ingles OVER 12.5 points with PointsBet Sportsbook (-112)

Ingles will be one player for the Boomers with regrets after the disastrous Semi loss. The Utah Jazz swingman scored the first six points of the game for Australia but then went scoreless until the fourth quarter. He'll be going out there with a point to prove. Expect him to be a lot more aggressive.
