Galloway's Kings ready to avenge previous loss to Ants

The Sydney Kings are rolling right now - sitting in equal first on the ladder and riding a three-game win streak.

A big part of that 4-1 start to NBL24 has been the improved play of Jaylin Galloway, who is averaging 12.6 points (on 58 per cent shooting from the field ), 3.8 rebounds, three steals and 2.6 assists as a starter.

All those marks are career highs, more than doubling his previous best statistics last season - highlighting the jump the 20-year-old has made in year four with the Hoops Capital club.

"Coach (Mahmoud Abdelfattah) has really given me the opportunity to showcase what I can do, which has helped with the level of confidence I have each time I go out there," said the Townsville-born product.

"[This season] I feel stronger and more confident, so I just go out there and do the things that can help the team every opportunity I get.

"[To be honest] I just love being out there and when coach gives me the role of defending the main threat [on the opponent], it shows me he believes in me which makes me want to prove it to him and others even more."

The only team the two-time defending champions have fallen to this season are their opponents on Sunday Tasmania - when the JackJumpers won 80-72 at MyState Bank Arena in round two.

But since that defeat, the harbour city side's offence has gone to another level - averaging 107 points/game against Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

That free-flowing offence has been a key preaching point for coach Mahmoud Abdelfattah and Galloway knows his team will have to replicate it once again if they are going to overcome their NBL22 grand final opponents on Sunday at Qudos Bank Arena.

"[The keys to winning on Sunday are] being committed to defence for the full 40 minutes and not letting them out rebound us," King #223 said.

"Any win in this competitive league is a good win, so another win [against a strong tam like Tasmania] would keep our morale high moving forward."

Sunday's round four showdown tips off at 3.45pm - with tickets still available here.
