Mike ,

I'd use Kodak Ektapress 1600 and either the 50 or 35 right at the edge of
the playing court near the corner for as clean a picture I could jumping
for the basket.

If you are having a problem with the low light, this film will handle a 1
stop push to 3200 no problem and 6400 if there isn't any hope for decent
light. But at 6400 you will see some loss, but at least you'll have
pictures!

Don't mess with filters,  any colour correction can be straightened out in
printing later.

And sit on the floor, it makes them look like they are jumping ten feet
higher.
