Best Bet

Wildcats -6.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Wildcats are consistently one of the better-coached teams in the NBL, and despite losing Bryce Cotton to the 36ers, they keep marching on.

They have four wins and three losses on the record, and we like the way they play team ball. There are no standout players who they rely on, unlike with the Hawks, who need big production from Tyler Harvey to have any chance.

It’s not easy to bet against a team with Harvey and former NBA star JaVale McGee, but they’re not clicking, and beating Perth at RAC Arena is one of the harder road trips. Therefore, take the Wildcats to produce another top performance and cover the –6.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Wildcats –6.5, Jo Lual-Acuil Jr 20+ Points, JaVale McGee 12+ Rebounds, Under 185.5 Points @ $12.50

Bet Now

The top scorer for Perth is Jo Lual-Acuil Jr, who quietly goes about his business. He comes off some good scoring performances, including totals of 24, 17, 18, 30, and 22 points from his last five games. There is nothing wrong with that form, so include him at $1.49 odds.

We also like McGee to grab 12+ rebounds. He is a beast on the boards, posting double digits in four of his last five games. He’s one of the bigger players on the court, so if the Wildcats are missing shots, he’ll be there to rebound.

Under 185.5 is a confident NBL SGM pick. Defence should play its part, and we can’t see them scoring at a high clip on Satuday night.

Best Value Bet

Elijah Pepper 3+ Three Pointers @ $2.30

Bet Now

Elijah Pepper has been peppering the basket from deep this season, including dropping three three-pointers against Sydney earlier this week.

He’s finding his range from behind the line, and we’re happy to back him. The Hawks’ perimeter defence isn’t the best, which should allow him to get wide open. Therefore, take the $2.30 odds as a value bet.
