The 2023 FIBA World Cup enters its knockout stages as the United States faces Italy on Tuesday, September 5. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:40 a.m. ET from the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.

Team USA advanced to the quarterfinals despite a surprising loss to Lithuania in the final game of the second round. Despite 35 points from Anthony Edwards, the United States was out-rebounded 43-27 in a performance in which the Americans looked smaller and were outmuscled in the paint. Despite having qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics, it’s now win-or-go-home for Steve Kerr’s squad as they look to win the FIBA World Cup for the first time since 2014.

Italy went 4-1 through the first two rounds of the tournament, though a number of their matchups were decided by single digits. Their road to the quarterfinals included a significant 78-76 upset win over Serbia, with their point differential being +34, compared to the United States’ +109.

The United States is a 16.5-point favorite and priced at -1350 on the moneyline, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Italy enter as +800 moneyline underdogs, with the point total set at 178.
