2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Odds & Picks: Lithuania vs. Slovenia
Lithuania vs. Slovenia
Suddenly, Lithuania couldn't make shots in their quarterfinal game against Serbia. Lithuania blitzed the United States in the game before but lost to Serbia, 87-68 last time out. They turned the ball over 15 times and were out-rebounded by five against Serbia. They also watched Serbia shoot 55% from the field and nearly 41% from three in that game. Lithuania got nothing from its bench. They'll face a Slovenia team that couldn't stand against Canada in their quarterfinal game. Slovenia lost to Canada, 100-89, despite shooting 48.4% from three in that game. Luka Doncic added 26 points, but no other player in the starting five scored more than 10. Doncic needs some help! I'll back Lithuania here. They're much better than that last game against Serbia.
Pick: Lithuania -3.5 (-110)

Understanding the Rules
FIBA basketball differs slightly from NBA rules, impacting gameplay and, by extension, betting strategies. Some key differences include a shorter game length (40 minutes instead of 48), a longer three-point line, and different foul regulations. Make sure to familiarize yourself with these rules before placing your bets.
