Teams Preview

Brazil

The contenders to grab the gold in the 2024 Olympics, the USA, have been unstoppable with their basketball, making a meal of their opponents and absolutely dominating every aspect of the game. They won all three group stage games by a minimum margin of 25 points, which shows how dominant the team is.

With LeBron James leading the way, the USA has been strong on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court. And the inclusion of Jayson Tatum in the starting lineup at the small forward position means Jrue Holiday will continue to come off the bench against Brazil, with Anthony Davis expected to start ahead of Joel Embiid. 

Coach Steve Kerr loves pressuring opponent point guards by playing physical defense and is likely to employ the same strategy against Brazil's point guards, Huertas and Raul Neto. Team USA averaged 105.7 points per game in the group stage and allowed 84.3 points per game. Against Brazil, the USA has a dominant win-loss record of 8-5. 

USA

Brazil, on the other hand, miraculously turned their campaign around with a dominant 84-102 victory over Japan in their final group game, only to find out they would be facing the USA in the quarterfinal round. Bruno Caboclo went insane, scoring 33 points, grabbing 17 rebounds, and shooting 4-4 from the 3-point range and 13-19 from the field. 

The other good positive ahead of this clash is the return of point guard Raul Neto, who finished with 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists. His presence on the court frees up 41-year-old point guard Marcelo Huertas, allowing him to concentrate on his elite 3-point shooting.

The team is reliant on Bruno Caboclo, who on his day can be absolutely unstoppable, but he has been in foul trouble in the first two games, resulting in playing only 13 and 14 minutes. He will face a bigger challenge with big men Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, and Bam Adebayo all rotating in one after the other.

Brazil on average scored 80.3 points per game and allowed 82.7 points per game. They need to be defensively active to stop the three point shooting threat of Devin Booker, Steph Curry and the slim reaper Kevin Durant.
