Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
The old core along with the new additions has worked out more than well so far for the Tasmania JackJumpers. After three rounds played, the Tassie team has picked up two victories, including a huge come from behind win on the road against Melbourne United, so head coach Scott Roth can be more than satisfied with how his team has done so far.
The second win of the JackJumpers was against the defending champions Sydney Kings, so after taking down two major powerhouses in the league, the JackJumpers have already profiled themselves as the team to beat this season. It seems another postseason berth is up for grabs this year for Tasmania, but they need to keep up with their good results.

Illawarra Hawks Team News
After losing the derby against their fierce rivals and the defending champions Sydney Kings in the season opener, the Illawarra Hawks managed to recover by taking advantage of their home court and an undermanned Melbourne Phoenix side to chalk up an important 113:106 win.
So far the Illawarra Hawks haven´t had any offensive problems with the firepower they possess, but their defense has been subpar. If the Hawks want to be considered contenders this season they urgently need to start working on their defensive schemes because in the first two rounds they gave up an average of 101 points per game.
This Thursday they have an excellent opportunity to showcase what they practiced defensively in training because they are going up against one of the slowest and most defensive teams in the league.
ROAD TRIP‼️

Tasmania JackJumpers vs Illawarra Hawks Prediction
The philosophy of the Tasmania JackJumpers revolves around tight and gritty defense and an offense spearheaded by their star import Milton Doyle. He has been the main difference-maker for his team so far and a focal point of their offense. The Illawarra Hawks will surely target him defensively, but the hosts have other options who can step up and secure the win.
Overall, we agree with the bookmakers that the JackJumpers should be favourites in this game, but we disagree with their Total estimation. At home the hosts like to impose a slower tempo and halfcourt style of play to give themselves the best chance of winning, so we opted for the Total Under.
Tip-off Time: Thursday, 12.10.2023. 07:30 PM Local Time GMT+11/ 10:30 CET
