Best Bet

Phoenix @ $1.98

Bet Now

There isn’t much between the Wildcats and Phoenix, but we give the edge to the Phoenix, who scored an 94-89 win over the Wildcats last month.

A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that win, but the Phoenix have Nathan Sobey, and he is playing at an MVP calibre level. He dropped 36 points on the Breakers last week, and if he’s near his best, the Wildcats could suffer.

Recent form has been tough to come by for the Phoenix, who have three losses from their last five games. However, they scored a good win over the Breakers, and that should steer them back in the right direction.

A road win against Perth is the perfect way to get back into title contention.

Same Game Multi

Phoenix H2H, Nathan Sobey 20+ Points, Kristian Doolittle 15+ Points, Over 183.5 Points @ $7.50

Bet Now

We have Sobey having a big scoring night for the Phoenix, and scoring 20+ points has become the norm for him. The odds aren’t huge, but they are worth including in NBL same game multi bets.

There is better value for Kristian Doolittle to score 15+ points for the Wildcats. His last two games have been poor, scoring just a combined 13 points. However, the American scored 20 and 17 points two weeks ago, so we’re going on that form.

They scored 183 points when meeting last month, and games have been higher scoring since. Include over 183.5 points in NBL multi picks.

Best Value Bet

Phoenix Halftime/Fulltime @ $2.70

Bet Now

The Phoenix is a team that can blow opponents off the court from the opening whistle, and we’re banking on that happening at RAC Arena.

Silencing the home crowd will be a big help for the Phoenix, who are desperate to show that they’re not out of title contention.

Perth has hit a flat spot, and with its best players not firing, the Phoenix could lead throughout the game at value odds of $2.70.
