We were all worried about the Sydney Kings, but a defensive masterclass against MVP Bryce Cotton last weekend has changed the tune a little. Brian Goorjian did some of his best work writing up the scheme to hold Cotton to just 7 points and you can expect that a similar tactic will be used to contain the JackJumpers strike weapon Bryce Hamilton on Wednesday.
Hamilton leads the Jackjumpers in scoring and shutting him down will likely ensure a victory to the Kings on Wednesday. The Tasmanian import has an average of 20.6 points this season and he will score less than that against Sydney.
Stops will be the theme of this contest with two defensive-minded coaches going at it. It is no surprise that all three games between Roth and Goorjian went under the game total last year and you have to follow that trend once again in this one.
- Sydney have won their last 4 matches against Tasmania.
- The last 4 matches between Sydney and Tasmania have gone under the game total.
- Tasmania are ranked 8th in scoring this season (84.6/G).
- Bryce Hamilton has scored 22 points or less in his last 3 matches.

Tasmania JackJumpers Form & Team News
The JackJumpers ended a four-game away run with a 98-89 loss to the Adelaide 36ers, however there were plenty of positives to come out of a tough early-season draw after winning 3 of matches on the mainland.
Tasmania are finding their identity and it is revolving around import Bryce Hamilton who leads the team with a 20 point average along with 4 assists per game. What needs to develop a little more is how Scott Roth uses their bigs Will Magnay and Josh Banan, who have not gelled to their potential just yet.
Magnay had his best game of the season in the loss to the 36ers with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 steals, while Banan peaked the game prior with 23 points and 15 rebounds against the Bullets in his return to Brisbane.
The JackJumpers need to see both of the forwards have big games together if they want to be a true force this season.
