New Zealand Breakers vs Tasmania Jack Jumpers - NBL Blitz - Gold Coast

The Tasmania JackJumpers suffered heartbreak in last season’s Playoffs at the hands of the Breakers, and they’ll be looking to strike first blood against last season’s Championship Series contenders. Tasmania import Jordon Crawford will become the latest in a line of players to see if he can stop Breakers star Will McDowell-White, while Next Star Mantas Rubštavičius could go head-to-head with JackJumpers spiritual leader Jack McVeigh. Perth and Adelaide have played out one of the most exceptional NBL rivalries of the past near-half century, and they will write another chapter during day four of Blitz action. Veterans Bryce Cotton and Jesse Wagstaff will be well aware of what a win over the 36ers means to Wildcats fans, and the fact it’s a pre-season game will not stop them from hitting their opposition hard and fast. The NBL has partnered with Major Events Gold Coast and the Queensland Government to bring all 10 teams to the Gold Coast, where 15 games will be played during the week-long preseason tournament. Not only will fans have the chance to watch the NBL’s biggest stars on the court, but players from all teams will engage with the local community through a range of activities and activations.
