The NBL is nearing the Finals series with the Sydney Kings and Tasmania JackJumpers having just two games left in their season, including their clash at MyState Bank Arena in Hobart. The Kings are all but guaranteed a top two spot on the NBL ladder, while the JackJumpers will need to win their last two games to guarantee their spot in the playoff tournament.
The Kings are travelling to Tasmania on a two game losing streak, while the JackJumpers have won three of their last five games and will be looking forward to their next two games on their home court.
The JackJumpers have lost three of their last five matches against the Kings, including a loss at MyState Bank Arena. The Kings have showed throughout the season they are too good a side to lose three in a row, especially with their great record against the JackJumpers. $1.45 for the Kings to win is the safest way home in this match.
Most recently, matches between the Kings and JackJumpers have been low scoring matches. The Kings appear to have the JackJumpers measure offensively, putting pressure on the Tasmanian side with their defence. Look for a similar game plan from the Kings as this game finishes below 177.5 total match points paying $1.95 with the top Australian bookmakers.
Despite the low scoring match that is anticipated, the Kings have three players that can take up the mantle of leading scorer on any given night. Xavier Cooks, Walton Jr and Dejan Vasiljevic share the responsibilities of scoring for the Kings and are one of the most dangerous trios in the competition. They will lead this Kings side again and should record the highest scoring quarter of the match paying $1.58.
KEY MATCH UP: MILTON DOYLE v DERRICK WALTON JR
The battle in the back court between these two guards will be the highlight of the night to see how each player leads their offence. Walton Jr plays a phenomenal role of facilitating play for his team mates, taking the pressure off himself to score. Doyle on the other hand, at any point in the game, will take scoring into his own hands and can do it from anywhere on the court. When he is in the zone, he is incredibly hard to stop. If Doyle gets into the zone Friday, he is the JackJumpers best chance of dethroning the Kings.
