The Magnay vs JLA Heavyweight Rematch is HERE! 🐜🔥
The JackJumpers are back at MyState Bank Arena this Sunday to host the Perth Wildcats, and the stakes couldn't be higher. With the Wildcats sitting just one spot above us on the ladder, this isn't just a game—it's a scrap for top-four relevance.
In this episode of The Ants Nest, JD and special guest Jez Darke (Sports Editor at Bets.com.au) break down why Will Magnay is the absolute skeleton key to a Tassie victory. Can he shut down JLA, or will the Wildcats' home-court momentum from last time carry over to the Nest?
We dive into:
- The Big Man Battle: Why the Magnay vs JLA matchup decides the result.
- The "Lift" List: Why Roth needs to unleash Nick Stoddart.
- Deng’s Dominance: Why Majok Deng treats Perth like a personal punching bag.
- Bold Predictions: Can the Jackies squeeze out a 3-point thriller?
