The USA Women’s National Team vs. Czech Republic game is set to tip off at 2:45 p.m. ET on Monday, September 7, with the USA entering as 35.5-point favorites on the spread, according to PrizePicks.
USA (2-0) will look to sweep the group stage when they take on the Czech Republic on the second day of a back-to-back. Team USA was pushed to the limit against Italy on Sunday afternoon and now aims to return to its dominant winning ways against a struggling Czechia squad.
Czech Republic (0-2) dropped each of its first two games in the group stage and now attempts to pull off a major upset against the competition’s favorites. The European side qualified for the FIBA World Cup via a pre-qualifying tournament back in 2024 but has not performed well in both FIBA qualifiers and, now, the World Cup.
Below, we'll break down our USA vs. Czech Republic prediction and picks for Monday's FIBA World Cup game in the third tournament outing for both teams, including the spread and key player picks for PrizePicks.

USA vs. Czech Republic Prediction for FIBA World Cup – Monday, September 7
Despite entering yesterday's contest as 30-point favorites, Team USA was held to 55 points by Italy. Kara Lawson's squad was heavily disrupted by Italy's 2-3 zone and trailed late in the fourth quarter before ultimately edging out a win.
The USA finished shooting 28.6% from the field — the worst shooting performance in team history — and will now look to put that behind them with a stronger showing in their final group stage game.
They face Czechia, who's lost both of its Group D games and arrives on Monday already eliminated from the 2026 FIBA World Cup. Romana Ptáčková's side has struggled significantly on offense and ranks third-lowest in offensive rating in the tournament.
The Czech Republic now faces a USA crew that's allowed just 56.5 PPG to opponents and ranks second in defensive rating through the group stage.
Lawson may opt to give her starters limited minutes with qualification already secured and lean heavily on reserves in this one. Even so, the reigning gold medalists could have more than enough depth to handle Czechia comfortably.
After such a poor shooting display yesterday, a regression to the mean makes plenty of sense, which wouldn't bode well for the opposition. Keep an eye out for the USA's stars to potentially build a significant lead early before the reserves come in and cruise to another comfortable victory.
