The Gilas Pilipinas will wrap up its second round elimination round in FIBA Asia with a match up against the lowly but unpredictable Hong Kong squad who is currently winless in the second round. A win for the Philippines will put the country ahead of their rival Chinese Taipei and Qatar in Group E.
If the Gilas Pilipinas will win against Hong Kong, they will be ranked as the top seed in Group E and a sure match up with the current fourth-ranked Kazakhstan team of Group F.
