Perth Wildcats vs Illawarra Hawks Verdict


Points are tipped to flow when the Perth Wildcats and Illawarra Hawks meet in the NBL on Saturday. Over the total of 198.5 is the preferred bet along with props on Dylan Windler 15+ points and Kristian Doolittle 7+ rebounds.

  • Perth have averaged 97.7 points across their last six games.
  • Illawarra have averaged 102.5 points across their last four games.
  • Dylan Windler has scored 15+ points in seven of his last 11 NBL appearances.
  • Kristian Doolittle has collected 7+ rebounds in six of his last eight games.

Head to Head


Illawarra have won three of the last five meetings, including a 105-98 victory in Perth last month, with the last two encounters clearing 198.5 total points.

Perth Wildcats Form


Perth snapped a four-game losing streak with a 98-92 victory over Tasmania on Thursday, improving to 6-6 for the season. 

The Wildcats have been considerably stronger at RAC Arena, holding a 6-4 home record compared to 0-2 on the road.

Offensively, Perth average 94.4 points per game, although that figure has climbed to 97.7 across their last six outings. Their perimeter shooting remains a strength, ranking third in the NBL at 36.7% from three-point range.

Windler led the way against Tasmania with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Doolittle continues to provide consistency on the glass. However, Perth's defence remains a concern, conceding 97.6 points per game this season.

Illawarra Hawks Form


Illawarra arrive in Perth with a 5-9 record after defeating South East Melbourne 120-110 on Wednesday. The Hawks have now won three of their last five games, showing signs of improvement following a difficult start to the season.

Their offence has been particularly productive, averaging 102.5 points across their last four games compared to their season average of 97.3. Illawarra have also been efficient from the field, shooting 48.7% as a team.

Defence remains their biggest weakness, with the Hawks conceding 104.3 points per game. Their away form has been better than their home performances, winning four of nine road games compared to just one of five at home.

Verdict

Over 198.5 total points is backed alongside Dylan Windler 15+ points and Kristian Doolittle 7+ rebounds.
