Following their impressive win against Spain, Canada will be back in action on Friday to finish their FIBA World Cup tune-up schedule. They will take on the Dominican Republic.
Throughout their first four tune-up games, Canada have proven why they're seen as such a threat to win the World Cup. Their deep and talented roster has dominated their opponents for three straight games.
The Dominican Republic, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win in their tune-up schedule, having dropped games against Puerto Rico and Latvia. As such, Canada will likely come into the contest as the heavy favorite to secure another victory.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be expected to dominate for Canada, while Dillon Brooks and Kelly Olynyk will be secondary and tertiary offensive options. Zach Eady will also be expected to make a big impact with his size and interior scoring for the team.
