The Paris 2024 Olympics continue with another full day featuring a variety of sports on Wednesday, July 31.

Basketball fans have the men’s 5-on-5 basketball game between USA and South Sudan at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday circled, but that’s not the only big event of the day, as 18 Gold Medals will be awarded, including five in swimming.

From women’s individual triathlon at 2 a.m. ET and a number of badminton matches beginning 30 minutes later through the final event of the day, the Men’s Swimming 100m Freestyle Final at around 4:39 p.m. ET, bettors have no shortage of action to choose from on Wednesday, July 31

Below is a rundown of the available odds for some of the top events scheduled for today.

July 31 Men’s Olympic Basketball Betting Analysis

According to oddsmakers, Serbia and USA should both cruise to easy victories against Puerto Rico and South Sudan, respectively.

USA’s Olympic opener against Serbia was close for most of the first half, but Kevin Durant was too much for Serbia, with 21 points on 8-for-8 shooting in just under nine first-half minutes.

USA, which led 46-44 with 2:06 remaining in the first half, outscored Serbia 12-5 over the final two minutes of the second quarter to take a 58-49 halftime lead. Durant, LeBron James and Co. cruised the rest of the way, as they led 84-65 after three quarters en route to a 110-86 victory.

South Sudan not only kept a recent exhibition against the Americans close, but very nearly pulled off the upset. But they nevertheless figure to be overmatched on Wednesday. In fact, if Team USA is hot from 3-point land again (it went 18-for-32 against Serbia), a victory by 30 points or more will be well within reach.

Check back for more from Newsweek on USA vs. South Sudan later on Wednesday morning.

As for Serbia-Puerto Rico, Jokic’s team is heavily favored despite fading down the stretch against USA last Sunday. Serbia, which went just 9-for-37 on 3-pointers against USA, should be able to win comfortably against Puerto Rico as long as it can find its shooting touch.

Australia vs. USA (1 p.m. ET on USA network) is one of six women’s soccer matches on tap, as all 12 teams wrap up group play before the quarterfinals get underway on August 3.

Australia vs. USA Women’s Soccer Analysis, Best Bets

So far at these Olympics, Team USA look more like the juggernaut that won the 2019 World Cup in dominant fashion than the disjointed group that took the pitch in 2023. The young, dynamic front line of 23-year-old Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson (26) and Trinity Rodman (22) has been dominant. That trio has produced six of the seven goals USA has scored in wins over Zambia (3-0) and Germany (4-1), with Swanson assisting on the lone goal, courtesy of Lynn Williams, that did not come from Smith, Swanson or Rodman.

There’s little reason to expect a side that has looked like a well-oiled machine under Manager Emma Hayes to slow down on Wednesday against the Aussies, which makes USA -1.5 (+105 at DraftKings) and USA Team total Over 2.5 (+135 at DraftKings) two solid bets.

100-meter Freestyle Finals Feature Big Names
