Tasmania JackJumpers vs Brisbane Bullets Preview

A victory for Tasmania JackJumpers will all but seal a playoff spot and they should get it. But I don't think it will be an easy game and Brisbane Bullets can stay within the +9.5 line in a low-scoring game.

The Bullets beat the JackJumpers in Tasmania 83-81 last time they played in the beginning of November.
Brisbane would have covered the +9.5 margin in their last 8 matches against Tasmania
5 of the last 6 matches between Brisbane and Tasmania have gone under the game total.
Tasmania allows the least amount of points per game (86.4) than any team in the NBL.

Tasmania JackJumpers On Verge Of Playoffs

With their backs against the wall adding Ben Ayre to the list of season-ending injuries along with Will Magnay and Bryce Hamilton, the Jackies found their fighting spirit once again and got arguably their most important victory of the run home, beating New Zealand 91-89 at My State Bank Arena on Sunday.

With game breakers like Hamilton and Magnay on the sideline, Tassie needed a new hero and they found it with David Johnson who went 7-11 from three, hitting shots from well outside the perimeter all night, including the match winner with 15 seconds left on the clock.

Josh Bannan did his thing getting another double-double, while Majok Deng played the full 40 mins backing up his 28 points in the loss to Cairns twitch another 17 and 5 rebounds.

Brisbane Bullets Lose Nine Straight

The Bullets suffered two 30-plus point losses in Round 19 to Illawarra and then to Adelaide giving them 9 straight defeats with the majority by monster margins.

It is another turmoil year in Brisbane and there is not really much more to say.

The positive is the rise of Jacob Holt who had his best game with a career-high 24 points against Adelaide, his second 20+ point game in three matches.

Verdict

Tasmania JackJumpers v Brisbane Bullets

This game is tipped to be low scoring which will likely result in Brisbane covering as the 9.5-point underdog.
