  • Slovenia is the slight favorite to win the Bronze Medal with -150 odds.
  • Slovenia is a 2.5-point favorite going into the game.
  • The total points for the game is set at 181 points.

TOKYO — The stage is set for the Olympic men’s basketball Bronze Medal game. Luka Doncic and the Slovenian national team will be going up against Patty Mills, Joe Ingles, and the rest of the Australia Boomers.

Going into the game, Olympic betting sites have Slovenia as the slight favorite to win the Bronze Medal over the Boomers.

Slovenia Vs. Australia Bronze Medal Game

  • Moneyline: Slovenia (-150) vs. Australia (+125)
  • Spread: Slovenia -2.5
  • Total: 181.0 Points

Slovenia Vs. Australia Moneyline Odds

Slovenia has been a force in the Olympics thus far having gone an undefeated 4-0. Not to mention, Slovenia’s loss against France in the semifinals marked the first time that Luka Doncic lost an international basketball game as he now sits with a 17-1 record in international play.

As for the Boomers, they went 4-0 in the Olympics as well before their semifinals loss to the United States.

However, they do not have any player that is nearly at the same caliber that Luka Doncic is at which could be the deciding factor in this one.

Slovenia Vs. Australia Point Spread

Being that the Olympic basketball odds for the moneyline are kept close, the spread is also set fairly close.

In the four previous Slovenia games before the semifinals, they have won by an average of 21.2 points behind Doncic’s near triple-double average.

Australia might have seen a momentum shift after getting pummeled by the United States in a 21-point loss. Slovenia, on the other hand, lost by just one point in what was a nail-biter against France that could have gone either way in the final seconds.

That said, Slovenia to cover 2.5 points might be one of the smarter bets to make.

Slovenia Vs. Australia Point Total

Slovenia has been a scoring machine in these Olympics, having gone for 94 points or more in each of their four games leading up to the semifinal.

That also includes two games where they put up more than 115 points as well.

Australia has scored over 84 points in each of their games. With that, Slovenia and Australia can put up their normal numbers and make the over cash.

  • The Slovenian national basketball team qualified for the Olympics for the first time in their history behind star Luka Doncic.
  • Slovenia currently sits with +2500 odds to win the Gold medal in Olympic basketball.

TOKYO – The nation of Slovenia will be represented on the Olympic hardwood for the first time in history this year after qualifying for the Olympics in Tokyo.

Slovenia is led by NBA superstar Luka Doncic, who scored 31 points in a win over Lithuania to propel the nation into qualification status.

Now, bettors can find Olympic odds on the Slovenian team via Olympic sportsbooks where they sit with +2500 odds to win the Gold medal.

Tokyo 2021 - Men’s Basketball

  • USA -1000
  • Spain +1500
  • Australia +1800
  • France +2000
  • Argentina +3300
  • Slovenia +2500
  • Italy +3500
  • Germany +6600
  • Czech Republic +15000
  • Nigeria +12500
  • Iran +50000
  • Japan +25000

Slovenia had an unlikely path to the Olympics due to their absence from the 2019 FIBA World Cup.

Teams that participated in the FIBA World Cup were able to automatically qualify for the Olympics, whereas Slovenia had to enter a last-chance tournament to earn their invitation.

They matched up with basketball powerhouse Lithuania in the final, going up against fellow NBA stars Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valanciunas.

Doncic played his best on the biggest stage, scoring 31 point with 11 rebounds and 13 assists for the triple-double in the must-win game.

Those looking to bet on Olympic basketball can find Slovenia as the sixth-shortest odds to win Gold at the Olympics.

The USA is the dominant team on the betting board with -1000 odds, but concerns over the USA team are prevalent.

Team USA had a terrible showing at the 2019 FIBA World Cup where they were eliminated in the early stages of the tournament. While the roster was one of it’s weakest in history, the lack of cohesiveness from the team was concerning.

This year, players like Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Draymond Green, Bradley Beal, Jayson Tatum, and Devin Booker will be in Tokyo wearing the stars and stripes, leading to much more confidence in the USA roster.

Still, with Doncic leading his team to glory, it is possible that Team USA has to deal with one of the most dynamic stars in the game of basketball on their path to the Gold medal.
