Here are our best picks for Slovenia vs. France ⏬

BET: Slovenia at the moneyline with PointsBet Sportsbook (-125)

Luka Doncic is a magician. The 22-year-old remains undefeated when playing for his country (17-0) and we don't have that run ending just yet.

Slovenia come into this game as 1.5-point favorites but to play it safe, we're taking them at the moneyline. Luka is the best player in this game by a far margin and should be able to cook as he leads his country to their first ever gold medal chance in the men's basketball.

BET: Total points UNDER 173.5 with PointsBet Sportsbook (+100)

Although we have Luka cooking in this one, the Under is just too tempting, especially with PointsBet offering even money on it happening!

Both sides will likely start the game a bit slow and nervy, which should result in the total remaining Under the set number of 173.5.

Remember, the quarters are just 10 minutes in these games, meaning the totals set are much lower than those in NBA games.
