Wednesday NBL Ignite Cup action continues with the Tasmania JackJumpers hosting the Perth Wildcats at MyState Bank Arena.
The JackJumpers are coming off a thrilling one-point win over the Sydney Kings last Sunday, where Nick Marshall delivered the game-winner in the final seconds to seal an exciting 90-89 victory. Scott Roth’s side continues to show their trademark grit and defensive discipline, especially at home.
Meanwhile, the Perth Wildcats are searching for answers after dropping three of their past four games. They’ll be eager to see how new import David Duke Jr. fits into the rotation and whether his athleticism can inject some much-needed spark into their offense. Perth has struggled to find rhythm on both ends, but this matchup gives them a chance to respond against a hard-nosed JackJumpers team that rarely gives an inch defensively.
