Team USA and the Dominican Republic are playing a FIBA World Cup basketball warm up game on Wednesday and the matchup is live on NBA TV and streaming online from Madison Square Garden in New York City as the United States prepares for their run in the tournament and the game starts up past 7 pm ET and will have names like James Harden and Derrick Rose leading the way for the US.

Derrick Rose has been dealing with some knee pain and he may not play much in this matchup, but everyone has been saying that it's not an issue for him long term. The team is still dealing with the fact that Paul George was injured and Kevin Durant dropped out, but the USA roster is still very strong and they should be able to make some noise in the FIBA World Cup.

The team played at West Point and had practices as well as game with the cadets and now they will play against the DR at MSG and that will be a nice matchup for the team as they head into the start of the tournament. The team played against Brazil in an exhibition matchup to get things started off and they won that by 20 and now they have the chance to get some more play in there. The team had Anthony Davis leading the way and he had 20 points and eight rebounds in that game and Rose added seven points in limited minutes.

James Harden could be the key player for the United States, as he can be a prime scorer for the team and now with George out his role will be even bigger. George was injured in a freak play with Harden, as he was running back to try and block Harden when he snapped his leg on the support for the basket and now he will be out for the season. Team USA has had to keep going despite the injury and while Durant dropped out due to fatigue, no one else that big has dropped yet.

Harden added 18 points in the game against Brazil and in that game Kenneth Faried was a starter for USA and he played well, putting in 11 points and grabbing nine rebounds in the game. Faried is another player under the radar and he could have a huge impact for the team. The DR isn't the hotbed of basketball talent like other places, although they do have Francisco Garcia and as SB Nation points out, in the past Al Horford has played for the team but is not for this tournament.

Team USA still has cuts to make and those are likely to happen after this game and comes ahead of the Puerto Rico game coming up. The tournament starts at the end of the month for team USA.
