Tasmania JackJumpers Team News
Even though their import Jordon Crawford sizzled with 29 points at the RAC Arena, the Tasmania JackJumpers suffered a heartbreaking one-point loss at the hands of the Perth Wildcats two days ago. Tasmania were leading by eight at half time, but crumbled in the final quarter and suffered a defeat which snapped their three-game winning streak.
Now the JackJumpers return home to their fortress MyState Bank Arena to face the reigning champions Sydney Kings. This season the JackJumpers already got the better off the Kings twice and a third win would solidify their current second place, but the Sydney Kings will have something to say as well.

Sydney Kings Team News
With the standards that the Sydney Kings have set in the last couple of seasons, we can say they are having an unstable season. At the moment, they find themselves in fourth place with a positive 8-6 W-L record, but they haven´t been able to show any consistency and muster up a winning streak that would propel them to the very top of the table.
Today´s game is ideal for the Kings to make a statement with a win in Tasmania, but of course it will be tough. Some of the NBL pundits are questioning whether import player DJ Hogg should start games after the comeback of Jaylin Galloway, because the Kings are 4-1 when Galloway started and Hogg was out with a shoulder injury.
Because of this it will be interesting to see the starting lineup of the Kings, but whatever happens we should be in for a very exciting and close game that could be decided by a couple of possessions.
"Any win in this league is a good win but a victory on Sunday [against the @JackJumpers] would definitely show that we are still a contender," said King #223 @jaylin_galloway.#LetItReign https://t.co/r9rLIKlpNb

Tasmania JackJumpers vs Sydney Kings Prediction
The first h2h game was a low-scoring affair with the JackJumpers winning 80:72. The second h2h game at the Qudos Bank Arena was completely different and a high-scoring game, but the JackJumpers still managed to come out on top 105:95.
We all know that the Kings play at a frantic pace and currently own a deadly offense which averages almost 96 ppg. In this game, it will be all about the hosts limiting the running and gunning of the Kings and assert their methodical half-court style of basketball, so we opted for the Total Under.
