The pair battle on Thursday night at the Derwent Entertainment Centre for the JackJumpers' second home game, having celebrated their first win.
"Obviously, these guys deserve to celebrate a little bit for that weekend," coach Scott Roth said.
"It was a great win for really the state of Tasmania and just the hard work that everyone's put in it, especially the front office people and the people behind the scenes that do all the heavy lifting.
"Then you design for the next game, this is just one game of many games to come, there's going to be a lot of rollercoaster rides in it."
Beating the Brisbane Bullets by nine points in over-time to mark Tasmania's return to the National Basketball League, the JackJumpers joined the competition's second-newest side, the South-East Melbourne Phoenix, in winning on debut.
However, after starting their debut season at 5-2, the Phoenix only added four more wins for their season, something Roth is wary of.
"That's really the reality of how an expansion team can go very quickly from having a little bit of excitement and then get smacked in the mouth and come back to reality, so I'm constantly reminding them of that."
The JackJumpers' next contest pits them against the 36ers, who won the NBL Blitz pre-season competition but have started their regular season with two losses, something Roth says they'll be out to change.
"Obviously they're going to be very passionate about trying to get their first win," he said.
"They have a lot of talent, a lot of guys who can score the basketball, they're another very big team that's coming in here.
"We'll have our hands full rebounding the ball against them and just playing against them, they're really talented."
Identifying their offense as something to improve, Roth was still pleased with his side's drive to get to the free-throw line despite their showing from it, finishing at 18 from 31.
While the JackJumpers' campaign is yet to be affected by COVID-19, the NBL announced its player replacement policy surrounding the virus last week.
If a player is unable to play due to COVID-19 protocol, someone outside the squad may be brought in to play, but Roth said he would still look within his program to find a replacement if the time comes, potentially bringing Launceston's Sejr Deans into the equation.
"I'm very, very comfortable with [development players] Sean [Macdonald], Sejr and Jocko [Perry], they've learned their way through the pre-season and I feel very confident to put them in a game at any time," Roth said.
"Sejr's 18 years old and he played about eight or nine minutes up in Launceston and you wouldn't have known any different than he's just another player in the NBL.
"So we've worked hard to try to get these guys ready, and they'll stay ready if we need them."
