Perth Wildcats are tipped to defeat Sydney Kings in the Ignite Cup, ending a six-game losing run against their rivals. The main selections are a Perth win, Kristian Doolittle to record 7+ rebounds, and Elijah Pepper to make 3+ three-pointers. Perth's strong home record, with five consecutive wins at RAC Arena, and Doolittle's return after missing the previous meeting, are highlighted as key factors. Sydney's recent dominance and higher scoring average are noted, but Perth's improved line-up and home advantage support the tip.

Perth Wildcats vs Sydney Kings Verdict


Perth Wildcats haven't beaten the Sydney Kings in the last six meetings, but that can changed on Wednesday. I'm backing the hosts to win the Ignite Cup clash with Kristian Doolittle getting 7+ rebounds and Elijah Pepper hitting 3+ three-pointers.

  • Perth have won their last five home games.
  • Sydney have won six consecutive meetings against Perth.
  • Sydney defeated Perth 102-81 on October 17, with Doolittle unavailable.
  • Doolittle leads Perth with 7.2 rebounds per game.
  • Sydney average 101.1 points per game, compared with Perth's 92.9.
  • Perth rank third in three-point percentage (36.2%), while Sydney allow opponents to shoot 32.1% from deep.

Perth Wildcats Form


Perth have built their early-season success around a strong home record and contributions from several different players.

Doolittle's versatility has been particularly important, while Pepper and Dylan Windler have provided valuable perimeter scoring.

The Wildcats were comfortably beaten in Sydney, with Pepper going scoreless and Windler leading the team with 19 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. 

However, Doolittle's absence was significant, and Perth will fancy their chances of producing a much better performance with him available.

Sydney Kings Form


Sydney have established themselves as one of the NBL's strongest teams, leading the competition in offensive production and net rating.

Kendric Davis remains their main attacking weapon, averaging 29.9 points across his career meetings with Perth. He scored 23 points and handed out eight assists in the recent victory, while Torrey Craig added 26 points and 12 rebounds.

The Kings have also been excellent defensively, holding opponents to 90.3 points per game. Their recent dominance over Perth is difficult to ignore, but playing at RAC Arena presents a different challenge.

Verdict

Perth's unbeaten recent home run and Doolittle's return make the Wildcats an attractive outright selection. 

Doolittle is backed for 7+ rebounds, while Pepper's shooting volume gives him a chance to rediscover his range and knock down 3+ three-pointers.
