The Adelaide will go against Tasmania JackJumpers in the NBL Australia match on October 12 at Adelaide Entertainment Centre (Adelaide). Scott Roth, the coach of the Tasmania JackJumpers, anticipates an “up and about” Adelaide 36ers on Thursday night. After facing NBA teams Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder last week, Roth’s men take a flight to Adelaide to play the host team in their first NBL game of the year. It’s their home game, so it’s another opening night for a team that we have to play, and they’re coming off the success they had in their first game with the Suns in the NBA, according to Roth.
“We expect them to strike at us very hard,” they added, “since they’ve indicated it’s a championship or bust year for them.” They defeated the Suns 134–124 and made 24 of their 43 three-point attempts, becoming the first Australian team to do it. On Sunday, the JackJumpers defeated the Brisbane Bullets 90-86 to improve to 1-3 and record their first victory of the year. The import Milton Doyle led the Tasmanian team with 32 points as they came back from a second-half deficit.

As Roth said, “He’s very talented with the basketball, a very good facilitator of the ball, incredibly level-headed, and once he saw the ball go through, that’s all he needed. I’ve stated previously once he got his feet underneath him here and had the league figured out. Sean Macdonald, a second-year development player, has had a solid start to the season as well. After impressive preseason performances, his minutes increased from an average of four last year to 21 this season. Roth added, “Of course, you have an opportunity to step in and do that with injured guys, and he’s taken very big steps forward for us.
