Adelaide 36ers vs Tasmania JackJumpers NBL26 Round 4 Tips - Another Tasmanian under play
In the upcoming NBL25 Round 4 matchup, the Tasmania JackJumpers, known for their surprising prowess on the road, are set to challenge the Adelaide 36ers. With the JackJumpers currently boasting a 3-0 away record, they aim to even their previous season’s road wins. The game strategy for the JackJumpers will be focused on slowing down Bryce Cotton, the 36ers' key player, to keep the scoreline tight. Expert picks favor Tasmania to cover the 6.5-point spread, with player Josh Bannan expected to continue his scoring streak.

Tasmania had just 4 road wins last season but have gone 3 from 3 as the away team to start NBL26. With one more on the cards they will be desperate to tie their road record from last season and have shown that they have the ingredients to do so in Adelaide, winning both of their matches at the Entertainment Centre last season.
The task, easier written than executed, slow down Bryce Cotton and force scoring production from DJ Vasiljevic and also down low with Zylan Cheatham and Issaac Humphries. Tasmania are an exceptional defensive team and Scott Roth has had plenty of experience diffusing containing, not stopping, Cotton’s impact.
I expect defence will be at the forefront of this match and if Tasmania limit Cotton’s production this game will likely see less points than the 177.5 total.
Looking for value in the props markets I like the scoring numbers of Josh Bannan and am tipping the power forward to score over 15 points for the second consecutive game.
- The JackJumpers are 3-0 on the road this season.
- Tasmania won all three games against Adelaide last season.
- 3 of 4 JackJumpers games have gone under the game total.
- Josh Bannan had 23 points and 15 rebounds vs Brisbane last match.

Adelaide 36ers Form & Team News
The Bryce Cotton show has arrived in Adelaide and the 5-time MVP may be better than ever. The former Wildcat has started his tenure as a 36er with an absolute bang, dropping 39 points on opening night against the Bullets and backing that up with 28 points, 7 assists and 5 steals in Adelaide’s 110-79 demolition of the Taipans in Round 3.
With Cotton on the team, you know the 36ers will be amongst the top echelon of teams in scoring, however, it is important that they start the season solidly defensively and they have done that. Yes, they have played Brisbane and Cairns, however they are ranked 3rd in opposition points (79.5/G) and first in opposition rebounds (37.0/G) with Isaac Humphries and Zylan Cheatham working well under the rim.
The question, as it was last season, how will depth hurt them down the stretch.
Tasmania JackJumpers Form & Team News
The Jackies come up big late to steal the win from the Brisbane Bullets in the final minutes of their home opener, leaving the river city with their third consecutive away win 84-82.
Josh Bannan meant business returning to his old stomping ground, having a game-high 23 points and 15 rebounds in the match. The bigs dominated with Bannan’s partner in crime Will magnay also having his best game of the season collecting 8 rebounds and sinking 13 points.
It was a big shift to front court production for the Jackjumpers, who have relied on the scoring of Bryce Hamilton (20.3 pts/g) in the opening 3 games of the season. However, any murmurs that Tasmania were going to be a more offence focused team have been squashed, ranked 8th in scoring after their first 4 games, however, the difference being that they are 4th in the NBL with a 44.9 FG%, which is a vast improvement on how they started the NBL25 season.
