The men’s basketball tournament at the Tokyo Summer Olympics continues Thursday and Friday with Spain and Argentina meeting up for the banner game.

Doncic was a star in Slovenia’s opening game, going for 48 points in his Olympic debut. The Dallas Mavericks star is continuing his ascent in the NBA and these Games will aid in that effort. Rui Hachimura is on the floor for the host nation, but Japan is a big underdog here.

Spain is a medal contender with the Gasol brothers and Ricky Rubio in the fold. Argentina has a history of performing well at the Games, but this roster is far from the golden era of the 2000s. Expect the Spanish to win with relative ease here.

France is showing why it will challenge for a medal with a surprise win over USA in the opening match. Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum and Evan Fournier are stepping up in Tokyo and France’s rotation players are showing they are capable to delivering good minutes. Iran is no match for this group.
