NBL25 Round 17 Preview & Betting Tips
New Zealand Breakers vs Tasmania JackJumpers
Thursday 5:30pm AEDT (Jan 16), Spark Arena
The Breakers came oh so close to recording a big upset win against United last outing – that was until Chris Goulding broke Breaker hearts with a 30ft bomb in the dying seconds. That’s now four straight losses for the Breakers and 12 from their past 13. On a positive note, they have been far more competitive in recent games with all four of their recent losses being by 10 points or less. This has come about despite Parker Jackson-Cartwright serving a lengthy suspension, although he’s set to return.
Meanwhile, the JackJumpers’ season is beginning to slip away on the back of three losses in their last four games. They’ve been absolutely cruelled by injury this campaign and will continue to be without key cogs Sean Macdonald and Will Magnay for the remainder of NBL25. Still, the Jackies will continue to fight and managed to pull off a sensational comeback win in Round 16 against the 36ers.
These clubs have had three battles this season and the JackJumpers have won all three convincingly. They won at home by 19 & 15 points, as well as in New Zealand by 24 points. And despite injuries to key players, I’m extremely surprised to see them priced as underdogs against a Breakers team considering they've won only one of their last 13 games. Take the Jackies to complete the season sweep on Thursday night.
