Tasmania JackJumpers vs Adelaide 36ers Frequently Asked Questions

The JackJumpers are in a rut, losing four-straight at home and missing a golden opportunity to be up with the frontrunners of the NBL, like their opponents Adelaide. The 36ers are coming off a loss, however it was just their third of the season and boast the second-best defence in the competition.

Tasmania are relying heavily on their defence again this season, so this one is not expected to produce a big total. It is predicted to be a defensive slog but the superior offence of the 36ers will get them the win and cover the 2.5 points as the away favourite in the eighth Adelaide match that hits the under this season.

The offence of the 36ers will run through two guys, Bryce Cotton and Zylan Cheatham. Cotton’s points markets are at unrealistic numbers, however, his assist market is enticing, especially with Tasmania struggling to defend against opposing power forwards. So take Cotton for 7+ assists and Cheatham to have over 20+ Points and Rebounds.

Tasmania have lost their last 4 games at home this season.
Bryce Cotton has had 9 assists in each of his last 2 games against Tasmania
Zylan Cheatham has had 20+ points and rebounds in 4 of his last 6 games.
Tasmania have given up 20+ points and rebound in their last 3 games to opposing power forwards.

Tasmania JackJumpers Form & Team News

Tasmania had the perfect opportunity to put themselves at the top of the table with the contenders heading into a five-game home stand with a 5-3 record, however things haven’t gone to plan losing 4 straight games on their own court and our now 5 wins away from Melbourne United at the top of the ladder with a 5-7 record.

It is the same old story for the JackJumpers on offence, ranked 9th in the NBL with just 83.3 points per game, just under 14 points per game in scoring than the Phoenix who top the stat count. Scott Roth likes his men to play slow with the slowest pace in the NBL at 76.6, but it is not working in the modern NBL especially when their defence isn’t what it used to be.

The Jackies D is still ranked third in points against but it has a lot to do with the pace of their games and there is no point slowing things down if the offence doesn’t convert.

Adelaide 36ers Form & Team News

Adelaide are looking strong with their defence getting them wins despite having the master Bryce Cotton in their lineup.

A loss in Cotton’s first game against his old club Perth 94-87 broke a two-game win streak for the 36ers, who had only been beaten by Melbourne in their 5 games prior to the new rivalry matchup. The five-time MVP was “contained” fairly well by the Wildcats, scoring 23 points along with 7 assists. Missed opportunities hurt Adelaide, who shot at just 39.7% from the field.

As mentioned, Adelaide have been stellar this season at protecting their end of the court and have been powerful under the rim giving up the second-least rebounds to their opponents at 40.4 per game with Zylan Cheatham tied first in the NBL with 10.5 boards per game.
