With a 2-2 home record, the JackJumpers will want to use this homestand as a platform for the rest of their season. Having already beaten the Breakers at home, they will go in favorites to both games against New Zealand.
The JackJumpers also would like their chances in the other home matches. Earlier this season they were a Magette 3 pointer away from sending the Adelaide match to overtime. As well we as letting big lead slip in their away loss to the Kings.
It will also be the first match up against the South East Melbourne Phoenix. The Phoenix will be hitting the road with John Cain Arena unavailable for two weeks due to the Australian Open.

The two games against the New Zealand will be “away” games as the Breakers continue their season away from home, unable to return home due to travel restrictions.
The Breakers will also host the Illawarra Hawkes at MyState Bank Arena on 2 February. This brings the the total Breakers home games in Tasmania to four.
Beyond the home stand
Following five games in Tassie, the JackJumpers hit the road taking on the Melbourne United (6 February) and the Bullets (8 February).
