Tasmania JackJumpers vs Brisbane Bullets Prediction
Saturday NBL action for Round 8 of the NBL26 season tips off with the first game of a double header as the Tasmania JackJumpers host the Brisbane Bullets at MyState Bank Arena.
Here is a Tasmania JackJumpers vs Brisbane Bullets Prediction for Saturday, November 8th 2025.
The JackJumpers come into this one desperate to rediscover their winning touch after dropping four of their last five games. Their recent losses have been narrow, but they’ll see this matchup as the perfect opportunity to get their season back on track. Tasmania has dominated Brisbane in recent meetings, winning their last four clashes against the Bullets, and will be looking to extend that streak in front of their home crowd.
Brisbane, on the other hand, is still trying to find consistency under new coach Stu Lash. The Bullets are coming off a heavy defeat to the Sydney Kings and have yet to back up a win all season — a worrying trend that will need to change if they’re to stay in touch with the top teams. With talent on their roster but pressure mounting, this looms as a big test of character.
Tasmania’s defence and ball movement is always their strength, and if they can limit Brisbane’s perimeter shooting while rediscovering their offensive rhythm, they’ll be tough to beat.
