FIBA World Cup predictions, odds, and betting tips for Canada vs Slovenia on September 6. FIBA World Cup betting free pick and SGP.
It doesn’t get much better than an All-NBA First Team guard showdown in a single elimination game. With Luka Doncic vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, we're getting the two best players in the tournament, playing at the peak of their powers, and both desperate to will their teams to victory.
Luka is not a player who wins through an overwhelming pace of play. Rather he wins by guile, coordination, touch, and underrated strength. The only weaknesses the Canadians have shown on defense this tournament have come against quick twitch guards. When it comes to a battle of brawn, they’re more than up to the challenge.
And wearing Luka down is the name of the game. The goal cannot be to shut him down, but to tire him out, and because this is the fifth game of the tournament, the Canadians have a distinct edge. Luka opened the tournament on a heater, starting with a 37-point game against Venezuela followed by 34 points against Georgia.

2023 FIBA World Cup: Team USA is quite aware of its issue with slow startsMANILA, Philippines — Throughout five games at this FIBA World Cup tournament, Team USA's opponents from New Zealand to Lithuania have jogged onto the floor with north of 30 minutes until tipoff. They have stepped onto the hardwood for synchronized stretches with training staffers and lofted loosening jumpers with choreography akin to the most structured of NCAA programs. More than 10 minutes can separate these rival entrances from when the Americans march under Mall of Asia Arena's bright lights.
