Adelaide 36ers Form

The aftermath of the scuffle between Adelaide players and fans during their match with Melbourne has the 36ers significantly disadvantaged in this game against the JackJumpers with Montrezl Harrell suspended for 3 games and Kendric Davis 2 games.

Missing Davis, who is the league’s leading scorer with an average of 20.91 points and ranked second in assists (6.64 APG), hurts the 36ers offensively, along with Harrell who averages 20.18 points per game (3rd in NBL).

However, Adelaide are going to miss the presence and impact of their star import center who has been the crux and backbone of the Adelaide defence with an on/off differential of +158, the most in the NBL.

Adelaide coach, Mike Wells is going to need to use this unfortunate situation to his advantage, setting up an offensive and defensive structure and system without his two star imports that their opposition is unfamiliar with as they look to keep their strong 10-0 record at home intact.

Tasmania JackJumpers Form

The NBL Champs had a rough start to the year but won their first back-to-back games of the season in rounds 8 and 9 with wins over New Zealand and Brisbane.

Sean MacDonald’s first match of the year, after going down in the FIBA Continental Cup before the season commenced, was a big success as the JackJumpers scored over 90 points for the first time in NBL25 in their 95-92 victory over Brisbane.

MacDonald spaced the floor for his teammates and contributed with 7 points and 7 assists, as Milton Doyle went for 30+ points for the second time in three matches.

The Tasmanian offence has been criticized heavily to begin this season but with MacDonald in the lineup it had much more structure and balance and will be able to find the points needed to get more victories with their 3rd ranked defence still the backbone of this team.

Verdict

Adelaide 36ers v Tasmania JackJumpers

The JackJumpers can cover the line as the 1.5-point favourites and dismantle the Adelaide offence without their star imports Montrezl Harrell and Kendric Davis.

Tasmania -1.5
