Wildcats' Summer Shootout opponents revealed

The Wildcats are banking on their highest away score of the month coming against reigning NBL champions Tasmania JackJumpers at MyState Bank Arena on Sunday 12 January.

Each team has been asked to nominate an away opponent which they think they can score the most points against, and the away team that records the highest score across the 10 Summer Shootout games will collect $50,000.

The fan who chooses the club that scores the highest points in their Summer Shootout game and correctly predicts their score will be in the running to win $100,000.

South-East Melbourne Phoenix have picked the Wildcats as the team their biggest away tally will come against when the two teams clash at RAC Arena on Friday 31 January.

“We are so excited to see the Summer Shootout come to life in January. The concept aims to encourage higher-scoring and we hope it creates some fierce competition with an incredible prize pool of $150,000 up for grabs,” NBL Chief Fans, Club and Strategy Officer, Anthony Everard said.

“High-scoring, high-energy games are what we want to see as we head towards the Finals.

“We hope the Summer Shootout will also generate new rivalries as the home team will do everything they can to stop the challenging side running up a high score against them."
