The USA top Group K and have a point more than Brazil and the Czech Republic. The final group games take place on Monday and the USA will qualify for the quarter finals with a win over Brazil. A defeat though and success for the Czechs over Greece will see them eliminated. That's unlikely though as the Americans have won all four of their matches played so far in the 2019 FIBA World Basketball Cup, plus Brazil would need to win by at least 21 points. The Americans nearly lost to Turkey in their first group but won their last match with a 16 point win over Greece. 

Brazil have won three of their four games in this tournament. Their only loss was to the Czech Republic in this group but before that they struggled to beat Greece, winning by a single point. They lost three of the four quarters in that match and certainly can't afford to do that against the USA. Go for an American win in this game and back them on a -13.5 handicap.
