State of Play

The JackJumpers hit the road to face the 36ers this Friday at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for game day.

Tasmania enters the matchup with confidence after a thrilling win against Brisbane, while Adelaide is looking to bounce back from a tough loss to Melbourne. Missing two of their top scorers, Kendric Davis (20.9 ppg) and Montrezl Harrell (20.4 ppg), the 36ers will lean on their depth with Dejan Vasiljevic, and Isaac Humphries needing to be at their best to contend with a full-strength JackJumpers squad.

Milton Doyle’s ability to continue his leadership and scoring late in games remain central to Tasmania’s game plan, as does Will Magnay on the defensive end, still sitting as one of the league’s top shot-blockers (1.5bpg) and anchoring the defense for the JackJumpers. Expect a hard-fought contest as the JackJumpers aim to maintain their recent winning form with a victory on the road.
