Monday's action at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was nothing short of exciting. Norway's Karsten Warholm destroyed the world record in the 400-meter hurdles, Germany's Malaika Mihambo won gold in the long jump, and Ghanian boxer Samuel Takyi secured Ghana's first gold medal in nearly 30 years. The events are set to keep rolling on Wednesday. Basketball, track and field, golf still, and other sports still have to name winners.

Women's basketball will tip-off early on Wednesday at 12:40 a.m. ET and Australia will take on the United States in the quarterfinals. The Americans are expected to remain unbeaten, but the result of this game could surprise bettors. There are a few favorable lines at Caesars Sportsbook ahead of the matchup worth considering.

Before you lock in any 2020 Tokyo Olympics picks or make your Tokyo 2020 predictions, you need to see what SportsLine Olympics expert Mike Tierney is saying.

A national sportswriter whose work appears in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, Tierney has covered nine Olympic Games in person. In the past two Olympic Games, his advice helped those who followed him cash in big, and he already has nailed a winner at Tokyo 2020.

At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018, he nailed Suzanne Schulting (+2500) of the Netherlands and Norway's Havard Lorentzen (+800) to triumph in speed skating and the USA's Mikaela Shiffrin (+185) to win the giant slalom. Tierney also took the Under (10.5) on the Americans' gold-medal count, and that also cashed as the USA came in with nine. 

And at the Rio 2016 Summer Games, Tierney told readers to bet Over on Team USA's gold medal count (41.5) and Over on Team USA's overall medal count (102.5). The result? 46 golds, 121 medals, and two easy cashes. Anyone who followed Tierney's advice cashed in huge!

One giveaway: The point total for Wednesday's Australia vs. United States women's basketball matchup is set at 160, and Tierney is leaning on the under at -110. The Americans are major favorites and are 3-0, but Australia has beaten them in a recent exhibition and possesses the talent to prevent a barn burner.

The Olympics expert has also released a strong play on the spread in that matchup and two other PLUS-MONEY picks. His best bets are offering tremendous value, so you ABSOLUTELY need to see Tierney's analysis and who he is backing before you make any 2020 Olympics picks or Tokyo 2020 predictions.
