State of Play

The Tasmania JackJumpers are riding a club-record seven consecutive wins heading into Sunday’s clash at MyState Bank Arena, with fans eager to see if Tasmania can extend their historic streak. The team’s discipline and execution have propelled them to 4th on the ladder, highlighting their consistency and focus this season.

Containing Casey Prather will be crucial after his standout 28-point performance last week, while limiting Tyrell Harrison’s impact in the paint remains a key defensive priority. For the JackJumpers, it’s a chance for Milton Doyle to assert himself and for Jordon Crawford to maintain his dynamic playmaking as Tasmania looks to dictate the tempo and control key moments of the game.

With home-court advantage and momentum on their side, the JackJumpers are well-positioned to deliver another strong performance and build on their winning form.

The Tasmania JackJumpers edged out the Brisbane Bullets 95-92 at MyState Bank Arena, securing their second consecutive win. Milton Doyle starred with a game-high 32 points, including a career-best 8/11 from three-point range, and seven rebounds. Doyle’s clutch three-pointers in the final minutes erased a six-point deficit and sealed the victory.

Jordon Crawford chipped in 11 points and seven assists, while Anthony Drmic’s nine points included two key third-quarter threes.
