The hosts arrive tied for first place in group D with the United States, both with a record of two wins and one loss, while Bahamas and Puerto Rico are 1-2.
The Cubans have just surpassed the Bahamians by 76 points to 62, while the Puerto Ricans lost to the Americans 66-108.
It will be the first bilateral duel this year between both teams, traditional rivals in the Caribbean area, and what happens in the capital’s Ciudad Deportiva could be key in the fight for one of the two tickets in dispute to Americup 2025.
The cap also represents the farewell of the largest of the Antilles before its fans, since the remaining games will be played as visitors in February of next year in Bahamian and Puerto Rican lands.
