Adelaide 36ers Team News
The 36ers display against the Brisbane Bullets two days ago was nothing short of amazing. It´s like Adelaide´s head coach CJ Bruton and his players read our preview before the game and decided to smother the Bullets defensively right from the opening tip-off, keeping them at only 12 points in the opening quarter which allowed them to take a decisive 28:12 lead.
After that it was mostly smooth sailing, with the 36ers only increasing their lead and winning emphatically in the end by an impressive margin of 31 points. They had a perfect all-around game against the shorthanded and out-of-form Bullets by scoring a 100+ and keeping them below 80, but today´s clash against the JackJumpers will be something completely different.
Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
The initial head-to-head clash on Adelaide´s court between these teams is extremely important because it set the tone for the 36ers and put a dent in their title aspirations. It was actually the season opener for Adelaide which came just a week after their famous win over the Phoenix Suns, so a resounding victory was expected from them.
However, they were completely mowed down by the JackJumpers, who opened up a massive 22-point lead in the opening frame. After the first-quarter horror show, there was no coming back for the 36ers who suffered a huge and season-defining morale blow in that game.
Adelaide 36ers vs. Tasmania JackJumpers Prediction
The 36ers will be out for revenge and won´t need any additional motivation from their coach, but the JackJumpers have been in strong form lately and will be a very tough nut to crack.
Since this is a crucial game for both teams, we decided to back the Total Under. The 36ers have shown certain defensive improvements against the Bullets, while the JackJumpers have been stable in that department all season long conceding slightly over 80 ppg.
