It's an Olympic year, and that means we get even more high-level basketball to fill in the void between NBA seasons. The men’s team from the United States are heavy favorites to take home the gold medal, but that doesn't mean the path to securing the top prize will be an easy one. After rolling through group play, the United States continues its quest for a gold medal with a matchup against Brazil in the quarterfinal round. With a 26.5 -point spread listed at most outlets, oddsmakers aren't giving the Brazilian national team much of a shot to hang with the United States in this one. But that's why they play the games, right?
Let's take a look at the odds and my prediction for this fascinating quarterfinal matchup at the 2024 Olympic Games.
