Tasmania JackJumpers vs Adelaide 36ers Head to Head

Tasmania JackJumpers Form

Tasmania have climbed to 4-1 after three consecutive victories, most recently producing a franchise-record 122 points in a 122-112 road win over Illawarra.

Josh Bannan led the way with 25 points and seven rebounds, while David Johnson added 32 points, including five three-pointers. The JackJumpers scored 67 points in the first half and maintained their advantage despite Illawarra's late comeback.

Tasmania are now averaging 99.6 points per game and shooting 49.4% from the field, ranking second in both field-goal and three-point percentage. Their defence has been less convincing, allowing 95.4 points per game, but their offensive production has been enough to overcome those shortcomings.

Adelaide 36ers Form

Adelaide improved to 3-4 with an impressive 84-78 upset victory over the previously unbeaten Sydney Kings on Sunday, snapping a three-game losing streak.

John Jenkins contributed 20 points, while Nick Rakocevic added 16 points and nine rebounds. The 36ers shot 17-of-50 from three, compared with Sydney's 8-of-28, and did enough defensively to secure an important road victory.

Despite that result, Adelaide remain the NBL's lowest-scoring team at 88.0 points per game. Their defence is allowing 91.1 points per contest, but opponents are shooting 49.7% from the field, leaving the 36ers vulnerable against Tasmania's efficient offence.
