JackJumpers vs. Wildcats Predictions
—
Best Bet
The JackJumpers have three wins from their last five games, and although winning consecutive games hasn’t been easy, they have every chance to produce back-to-back wins on Wednesday night in the Ignite Cup.
There are concerns about how well the Wildcats are travelling after another loss. They played well to come back against the Hawks, but the late one-point loss was heartbreaking, and it could have a flow-on effect this week.
Tasmania enjoys playing at home, and that should be enough to see it win and cover the spread. Winning by five points isn’t too tough for the JackJumpers, who have Bryce Hamilton and Will Magnay spearheading the offence.

Same Game Multi
Josh Bannan has been playing well for the JackJumpers, and although he has been slightly inconsistent, he’s good enough to post 15+ points on the Wildcats.
He comes off an 18-point game, and over the last five weeks, he also has totals of 23 and another game of 18 points. We like the odds for him to score at least 15 points, so include him in NBL SGM picks.
We also like Jo Lual-Acuil Jr to score 20+ points. He’s the Wildcats best threat to score, and although they’re likely to lose, he should be their top scorer.
Under 174.5 points goes into the mix. The final score could be around 89-82, which is enough to see the under cash for punters.

Best Value Bet
We expect the JackJumpers to come out swinging against the Wildcats, and the $1.98 odds for a halftime/fulltime win could look silly at some stage.
They are the better team in this matchup, and with the Wildcats coming off a tough loss, they could take a couple of quarters to find their groove. By that time, the JackJumpers are off and gone, and ready to cash the value odds.
