JASON CADEE vs JOSH MAGETTE

Bullets guard, Jason Cadee is currently averaging 11.9 ppg and 4apg. The 350+ game veteran is a true leader and has stepped up when the team needs him most throughout the season. Last game he impressed with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists getting his teammates involved and knocking down some big triples in the OT win.  

For the JackJumpers, Josh Magette is key to getting his team organised on court. A true point guard and knockdown shooter, Magette is averaging 10.6ppg and 4apg.

 The battle of the high IQ point guards will be integral to either team’s success on Sunday.

ON THE RECORD

Following the Bullets win against Perth and his first as a Head Coach, Sam Mackinnon was impressed with his squad's resilience to bounce back from a big loss to the Breakers with key big men Aron Baynes and Tyrell Harrison sidelined through injury.

"I'll say that they're a good group of human beings. We've got some adversity now with injuries and I think they just fully embraced that tonight and sacrificed and did whatever they could for their teammates," Mackinnon said.
