Tasmania JackJumpers Form

Tasmania took an elite OT win over Adelaide on Friday with a number of clutch possessions from their stars. The Ants were 5 points down with 30 seconds remaining.

Majok Deng was the recipient of a Jordan Crawford fast break pass for a dunk to cut it to three then took an intercept in the Adelaide backcourt for a spot up 3 to push the game to OT.

With only seconds remaining in the extra term Deng wrapped up Montrezl Harrell causing a jump ball in their favour. Milton Doyle had a put-back off a Deng miss with 0.2 seconds remaining on the clock to secure the victory.

The 104-103 scoreline was Tasmania’s highest team total this season with 9 of those points coming in OT. The 36ers total was also the third highest opposition number of the season for the league’s best ranked defensive team.

Deng’s 26 points was his 3rd highest total of his NBL career and highest since he scored 26 in Round 1 of the 22-23 season.

Perth Wildcats Form

The Perth Wildcats find themselves 3rd in the standings thanks to a solid period where they have taken 7 wins in their last 10 games. When we scratch a little deeper than the surface it also coincides with an easier than average schedule.

6 of the Wildcats wins and 1 of their losses have been against the bottom 4 ranked teams in the league. The only victory against a top 6 ranked team was the 97-84 win over SEM on Nov 15th. They have lost to Illawarra twice and Brisbane once through this period.

They have won just 2 of 7 games played against current top 4 opponents (Ill, Mel, Syd) and with half of their remaining games against top 6 opponents playing winning basketball will be instrumental to their final seeding.

Perth lead the league in scoring over the past 10 games putting up 107.5 points per outing scoring over 110 on 6 occasions. Defensively though they are 2nd last in the league with a whopping 100.6 points allowed to their opponent.

Verdict

Tasmania JackJumpers v Perth Wildcats

Take the Wildcats laying the points as favourites despite their mediocre road record. Perth Team Total over 94.5 is also a top pick with Bryce Cotton leading the charge.
