This is the banner matchup of the quarterfinals with the Americans entering as strong favorites. However, Spain has plenty of quality NBA talent and Olympic experience.

France scored the big upset of the competition in the opener against Team USA on its way to winning all three group stage games. Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier and Nicolas Batum form a great trio for the French, who will be looking to grab a medal for the first time since the 2000 Games.
