Talking points

Can JackJumpers break the streak?
It was a much-improved performance from the JackJumpers in enemy territory on Friday night, but they ultimately still fell short against Perth.

Falling to 5-9 on the season with six straight losses, Scott Roth's team has also dropped its last five at home.

They've been smashed through injury, but with import David Johnson now back and Will Magnay close to a return, it's time to see results.

Going into the FIBA Break, this is a must-win.

Tale of two formlines
While the JackJumpers are struggling, Sydney has been in a rich vein of form, with four straight victories.

As good as the wins have been, the return to form of its stars is perhaps the more important factor. Xavier Cooks is humming again, while Bul Kuol looks back to his best.

Even with Matthew Dellavedova and Shaun Bruce out, the Kings are all of a sudden looking the scary prospect that their roster suggests they should be.

What they're saying

Sydney's Bul Kuol on Kendric Davis' impact:
"He came to Sydney misunderstood ... he's one of the best human beings you can be around

"He's a monster with the ball, but he's a better human being off the court" - via ESPN

Tasmania coach Scott Roth on his team turning their form around:
"We have guys with high-character values and our standards are never going to change - we just expect guys to show up and continue to work.

"We hope that it turns at some point for us."
