The Perth Wildcats are set to host the Cairns Taipans at RAC Arena on Friday night.

How to watch & talking points: Melbourne v Tasmania

‍Live scores, stats, breaking news and game highlights are available via the new and improved NBL App.

Running out of timeWhile Melbourne United still sit comfortably within the post-season picture, they are running out of time to find their early season form.

Losing both games last round, to the Cairns Taipans and then an undermanned Sydney team would have further added to their mental burden since the FIBA Break ended.

United face a big test against a Tasmania team that is playing the most complete basketball of their season and looking to push towards a home Play-In game.

The Tassie way is backEver since the JackJumpers entered the competition, they’ve had a unique play style that might not always be the most entertaining to watch – yet it’s very successful.

NBL Betting Tips – NBL Round 17 -HOOPSFEST 2025 Predictions

Round 17 brings us HoopsFest, with all the games out of Perth’s RAC Arena.

The wheels have fallen off for United, going just 2 – 8 over their last ten games and falling from first to fourth on the ladder. A win here really helps steady their freefall, with Tassie still three wins off threatening to leapfrog Melbourne.

Krebs saw more minutes last game and rewarded Coach Vickerman with a 12-point, 9-rebound performance. His long-range shot is a threat, and he helps spread the floor, allowing Jesse Edwards more room to move and Walker and Doyle access to driving lanes.

Melbourne can use this game as a turning point in resurrecting their season and Krebs should see close to twenty minutes here, to grab 4+ boards.

DrinkWise Preview: NBL26 – Round 17 v Tasmania JackJumpers

We are set to head over to Perth for a showcase of basketball when we take on the Tasmania JackJumpers on Saturday night from 9:30pm inside RAC Arena.

It will be a battle of two teams looking to do all they can to strengthen their ladder position across the final third of the season.

A win would see us bring an end to a three-game slide, while the JackJumpers have won three of their last four games, all of which have been decided by less than 10 points.

Leading into the matchup, Head Coach Dean Vickerman stressed the importance of getting back to playing our brand of basketball come Saturday evening.
