CBSN
The quarterfinals are set, as Canada (+750) and Germany (+850) would have to play each other before a possible gold medal matchup with USA
Heading into the knockout round(s) of the men's basketball tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the United States is better than a 1-5 favorite (-550 at FanDuel) to go home with the gold medal, which would be the fifth straight for the Americans.
Eight teams are set to compete in the men's basketball quarterfinals on Tuesday. The Americans will face Brazil at 3:30 p.m. ET.
It's going to take a significant upset to knock off Team USA. Not many teams on the list below are even guaranteed to get a shot at the U.S. based on the bracket, but if they do, which is the best bet to pull a stunner? You can make a case for five teams. Here they are in order of the biggest threat they would pose to the United States in a one-game scenario, which is all this tournament comes down to.
