Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
The JackJumpers recently welcomed back Clint Steindl and Will Magnay, but they are still losing more games than they would want. Currently the vice-champions are hovering around the final playoff position and will definitely look to exploit the holes in the roster of the Breakers to notch a very important home victory.
The JackJumpers had a very easy task in the last round against the Hawks, who were missing their two best scorers. The Hawks couldn´t hang on for too long and eventually crashed to 87:60 defeat. Today the hosts should be in for a much tougher game, but the current state and form of the Breakers players is questionable.
New Zealand Breakers Team News
The New Zealand Breakers were hit by Covid and will still be feeling the consequences in today´s game. They travelled to Tasmania without one of their key starters and contributors Will McDowell-White and experienced role player Rob Loe.
Against a JackJumpers side away from home, it will be tough for the guests who haven´t played for 15+ days. They can always rely on their invidividual class, but not having a game for such an extended period at such a high level with very competitive teams will be a huge issue.
Tasmania JackJumpers vs. New Zealand Breakers Prediction
The JackJumpers are looking to improve their form and continue their playoff push. Today´s game is an ideal opportunity for that because the guests are without two key players. They don´t have enough firepower to keep up with Tasmania, so if they want to stay alive they will need everyone to step up.
Since the Breakers are shorthanded and completely out of form, we see the hosts as clear favourites in this match and will back them for very solid 1.82 moneyline odds.
