The Tasmania JackJumpers will aim to register their fourth victory in the league when they face the bottom-placed New Zealand Breakers in their next National Basketball League match on Friday.

The Breakers come into this match after a disappointing 81-87 loss to SEM Phoenix in their last match. That also marked their fourth defeat of this season, placing them at the bottom of the points table with just one victory in their six games.

Meanwhile, the JackJumpers' three-match winning streak was ended with an 89-98 defeat to the Adelaide 36ers last time out. The visitors have collected three victories from their five games and currently hold fifth place on the NBL leaderboard.

Here's everything you need to know about Wildcats vs. Bullets, including TV channel and streaming options for the basketball game.
