Team USA experienced a bumpy start in its 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup opener but it eventually got on track, defeating an overmatched New Zealand squad by a final score of 99-72.

Now, the Americans will continue their World Cup campaign with a battle against Greece.

Team USA will be heavily favored in the matchup, as Greece is missing two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks star had a procedure performed on his left knee earlier this year, and he wasn't physically ready to participate in the international tournament.

Can the Americans get another win in the group stage? Or will Greece pull off a massive upset?

Here is everything you need to know about Team USA vs Greece, including TV and streaming options for the game.
