The match
Having already advanced to the second round of the FIBA World Cup Basketball Group, United States would like to avoid an upset against Japan in their last group game. The twice defending champion started the tournament with a comfortable 88-67 win over Czech Republic. Donovan Mitchell led the US with 16 points, while Kemba Walker put in four assists. However, the favorites were extended in their next game, given a hard workover by Turkey. A 93-92 overtime win was a reflection of how close the Turks ran the Americans in the game. Indeed, Turkey missed four free throws, which would have given them a surprise win. Right now, they need to win over the group. Japan are bottom of the group, losing both their games and getting 17-32 classification matches. They started the tournament with a 86-67 loss to Turkey. Rui Hachimura of the Washington Wizards led the show for the Japanese with 15 points and seven rebounds. Even in the second match, it was disappointment for Japan, as they were beaten 89-76 by Czech Republic. Once again Hachimura tried to rally his side with 21 points, but received little support elsewhere.Key Statistics
- United States are ranked first in the world, while Japan are ranked 48th.
- United States have a +22 point differential, while Japan have a -32 differential.
- Japan have conceded 175 points in their two matches so far.
The bet of our experts
United States have not been in the best of their form lately. A loss to Australia in the run-up to the World Cup and a near loss to Turkey in the previous league game should be a concern for Popovich's side. With tough teams like Serbia, Spain and Lithuania, the United States would be happy to win with Japan in the United States. A loss to Australia in the run-up to the World Cup and a near loss to Turkey in the previous league game should be a concern for Popovich's side. With tough teams like Serbia, Spain and Lithuania up on the second round onwards, United States would be happy to win over Japan.
