USA vs. Brazil basketball prediction
Brazil is on the edge of medal contention in men’s basketball, but it hasn’t medaled since winning bronze in 1964. It finished ninth at the 2016 Rio Olympics and fifth at the 2012 London Olympics but did not qualify for the Tokyo Olympics.
Brazil, 1-2 in the Olympics with losses to France and Germany and a victory against Japan in group play, has a changing national team. No Anderson Varejao, no Nene, no Leandro Barbosa. But Marcelinho Huertas is still going strong at 41 years old. And this team is led by Vitor Benite (14.3 points per game), Bruno Caboclo (13 points, 7.3 rebounds per game), Raul Neto (8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds) and Leo Meindl (9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds per game). In group play, Brazil shot 45.3% on 3-pointers and made 17-of-28 3s against Japan. Brazil will hit the offensive glass and shoot 3s.
However, the talent and depth of the U.S. (3-0) will prevail.
Prediction: USA 101, Brazil 85
