If Luka Doncic and his Slovenian teammates want to avoid elimination at the FIBA Olympic qualifying tournament, they can't just defeat New Zealand — they must dominate the matchup.

Heading into Thursday's contest, New Zealand has an advantage in point differential, so Slovenia will only qualify for the semifinals if it beats New Zealand by 10 or more points. If New Zealand wins or loses by no more than nine points, it will join Croatia in the semifinal round.

Despite a triple-double from Doncic (26 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists), Slovenia fell to Croatia in its first game of the tournament. New Zealand then stunned Croatia with a 13-2 run late in the fourth quarter on its way to a 90-86 victory.

Which team will keep its Olympic hopes alive?

Here is everything you need to know about Slovenia vs. New Zealand, including the tipoff time and how you can stream the game.
