Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
We have seen some big upset losses and superb recoveries this season, but the comeback of the Tasmania JackJumpers has truly been rare and special. After a horrible start and three losses in a row, they are riding a 3-game win streak. They capped off their two victories over Adelaide and Brisbane with a dominant performance in Melbourne and look as a real threat to the main favourites.
They will be very tough to beat for the Wildcats. This game definitely doesn´t come at the right time for the visitors with the hosts currently in possession of an import duo of Milton Doyle and Rashard Kelly, who are both averaging double-digits. Along with very strong defense, that has enabled the vice-champions to come to life after a miserable start.
Perth Wildcats Team News
The Wildcats are desperately trying to come back to the top of the league and become a contender, but these kind of things don´t happen immediately after you switch a part of your team and change two coaches in two seasons.
Their 3-1 record is solid and suggests they should be able to stay at the top for most of the season. However, we don´t see them as one of the main title favourites, because the league has changed a lot this season compared to the last couple of years. Perth have managed to achieve some memorable wins, but to give them a clear 5-point advantage in this matchup is a mistake in our opinion.
Tasmania JackJumpers vs. Perth Wildcats Prediction
Home advantage means a lot to the JackJumpers who will look to improve their current 50-50 record. The Wildcats seem vulnerable at the moment, especially away from home after a tough home defeat to Melbourne.
Guests will have TaShawn Thomas back in their lineup, but even with his presence, in our eyes this game is a clear 50-50 matchup with good value for the home team to cover the spread.
