IllaWarra Hawks will host Tasmania JackJumpers at 14:30. This match is more than just a ranking battle between mid-table and lower-table teams; it's a direct clash of two distinct basketball philosophies. The Hawks stick to the traditional 'inside game,' building their foundation on dominating the paint. In contrast, the JackJumpers embrace the modern game, believing in 'space to win' with tough defense and outside shooting to break down opponents. This encounter is a continuation of past clashes and a full-scale comparison of current form and roster strength. Each possession will affect both teams' chances of securing a playoff spot. The guest team will not lose.
