Prediction
The JackJumpers are playing the tight defence and team basketball that got them all the way to the NBL Grand Final last season.
The Bullets may have the more talented side on paper, but the well-coached JackJumpers outfit will be tough to match up against.
JackJumpers home matches have been high scoring so far this season, and they will be full confidence after a massive win out west on Thursday Night.
