Perth Wildcats Team News
After a tumultuous last season, the Perth Wildcats decided to keep head coach John Rillie and are slowly gearing up for a championship run with their new-look team. One of the best imports NBL has ever seen, Bryce Cotton, along with Webster brothers sets a good foundation in their roster, which has been boosted by the additions of imports Jordan Usher and Kristian Doolittle.
Luke Travers left the team, but the big signing of Keanu Pinder from the Taipans should patch up the hole left along with the new imports and make the Wildcats one of the championship contenders this season. They had a great preseason, so only the sky is the limit for Perth who will have to turn the RAC Arena into a fortress again.

Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
Scott Roth remained as the head coach of the JackJumpers after two excellent seasons and two playoff appearances. This year he received a lot of firepower to play with and a very deep and talent-laden roster with the backbone of the team and players such as Steindl, McVeigh and Magnay remaining to boost the new project.
The JackJumpers didn´t rest on their laurels during the preseason and strengthened their roster with new promising imports Marcus Lee and Jordon Crawford to compliment Milton Doyle. Also worth mentioning are the new signings of Majok Deng and Anthony Drmic, which makes the Tasmanian team very formidable this year, which they proved by going undefeated in the NBL preseason Blitz tournament.
Final tune up before Rd1.

Perth Wildcats vs Tasmania JackJumpers Prediction
After a preseason injury scare, leading player of the Wildcats Bryce Cotton will be ready for the season opener which is a huge sigh of relief. It is always very tough to play in the distant West and the JackJumpers are expected to have a tough time in a game in which the run and gun hosts clash with the defensive and half-court team from Tasmania.
It is very difficult to predict the winner of this game, but the Total Under seems like a very viable option, because the JackJumpers can only survive in a low-scoring affair by subduing the Wildcats and their up-tempo play.
