Adelaide 36ers Team News
The 36ers absolutely stunned the entire basketball world with their win over the Phoenix Suns around ten days ago. It was the first time an NBL team managed to beat an NBA team in a preseason game, which could be a sign of things to come this season for Adelaide.
Ahead of the new season and the NBL Blitz, the 36ers were already considered to be one of the main title favourites with all the new reinforcements they managed to sign. Their incredible win over the Suns has now put additional pressure on their team to perform, so it will be very interesting to see how they handle the gritty and defensive JackJumpers side.
Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
After making the Grand Final in their maiden NBL season, the JackJumpers stuck with their old roster and only made a couple of import changes. One of them was bringing in Milton Doyle who found his groove against the Bullets last week.
It seemed Tasmania were going to lose their fourth consecutive game when they were down by 15 points at halftime, but their new import refused to go down without a fight and single-handedly turned the game around by tallying 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Adelaide 36ers vs. Tasmania JackJumpers Prediction
The JackJumpers have been underperforming, but everything would change with an upset win away from home against probably the best team in the league at the moment.
As expected, the bookmakers expect the hosts to win comfortably buoyed by their massive preseason win. We have to disagree because there is simply too much pressure on the 36ers at the moment, as their expectations skyrocketed when they took down NBA powerhouse Phoenix.
