Best Bet

Wildcats -9.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Wildcats are enjoying a string of home games, and they should kick off their Round 18 campaign with an easy win over the Taipans.

Nothing is going right for the Taipans, who are once again near the bottom of the NBL ladder, and we can’t see much changing soon. They struggle with making good signings, and it has led to another inconsistent year.

The Wildcats have a much better front office, and although they lost Bryce Cotton to the 36ers, they didn’t panic. They signed good players, and they are one of the best-coached teams in the NBL.

It’s why we’re picking them to cover the –9.5 spread at RAC Arena. They haven’t had to travel in the last two weeks, so they’ll be fresh and ready to produce a mammoth win.

Same Game Multi

Wildcats -9.5, Jo Lual-Acuil Jr 15+ Points, Kristian Doolittle 20+ Points, Over 180.5 Points @ $10.75

Bet Now

Leading the way for the Wildcats are Jo Lual-Acuil Jr and Kristian Doolittle. Lual-Acuil Jr comes off a 20-point performance against the Hawks, and he should comfortably score 15+ points on Thursday night.

Doolittle has come of age over his last three games, scoring 21, 24, and 21 points. His consistent shooting has elevated the Wildcats to strong NBL title contenders, and punters get $2.20 for Doolittle to score 20+ points, which is excellent value.

We have the Wildcats scoring 100+, so include over 180.5 points in Wildcats vs. Taipans same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet

Kristian Doolittle 20+ Points @ $2.20

Bet Now

Doolittle is an in-form scorer, and his confidence levels have increased significantly over the last few games.

The American import has scored over 20 points in his last three games, and he should get plenty of scoring opportunities against a poor Taipans’ defence, which allowed the Breakers to score 104 points last week.

The $2.20 is much better than expected, so snap up the value with NBL odds.
