Several games will have major implications on the standings, including the final game of the day between Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Puerto Rico sits atop the standings with a 5-1 record. It will face a 4-2 Venezuela team, which is one of four teams tied for second place. Based on tiebreakers, Venezuela enters the game in fifth place, making Saturday’s game a significant one.
