Sydney Kings vs. Tasmania JackJumpers Prediction, Tips & Odds – May. 11, 2022
The Sydney Kings are only one win away from their fourth title and also their first one in 17 years. They will have the support of the biggest crowd in the history of the finals of over 13 000 fans behind them. It will be a huge occasion and we believe the Kings won´t disappoint whether their best player plays or not.
Sydney Kings
It will be a game-time decision for Sydney´s best player and MVP Jaylen Adams but even without him they came away with a dramatic win in Tasmania. With a 2:0 lead they have an excellent opportunity at home and we doubt they won´t take advantage of it and sweep the series.
One of Sydney´s best players Dejan Vasiljevic received death threats after game 2 for making the game-winner which is one of the main headlines heading into this game 3. Things are getting serious so the hosts will be more than motivated and have enough firepower to win even without their main superstar.

Tasmania JackJumpers
The JackJumpers have finally met their match. After shocking the reigning champions Melbourne United and eliminating them away from home in the semi-final, they are now down two games in a finals elimination game. They need a win to survive but will certainly face a hostile atmosphere after their provocations.
Along with overall lack of class to compete against Sydney and their imports, they don´t have the experience to play in these type of games. In their first season ever they were the dark horse of the league but now time is up as the best team in the league should llift the trophy at home.

Sydney Kings vs Tasmania JackJumpers Prediction
Record-breaking attendance will be a major plus for the Kings who overall have much better individual quality. They proved it in both games so far winning away from home 90:86 and outclassing the JackJumpers at home in the opener 95:78.
The handicap is about right and too high without value, but the HT/FT option for Sydney seems very solid and valuable for strong 1.72 odds. We expect the Kings to take control from the start and win around the spread up to 10 points.
Pick: Double Result – Sydney Kings – Sydney Kings
