Preview:
Fortunately, the rest of the ladder did Trevor Gleeson’s side a favour as the Wildcats still find themselves sitting second behind the Kings with a game in hand against the Hawks.
Illawarra has recorded a handful of big upsets already this season, but that wasn’t the case last week against Melbourne and Adelaide. The Hawks lost by double digits to United on Saturday, while things were a little closer against the 36ers on Monday night.
Not surprisingly, this has typically been a matchup that has favoured Perth heavily in recent times. The Wildcats have won four of their last five games against the Hawks and are also 7-5 against the line as the away favourite.
The last time the Wildcats lost back-to-back games they responded with a blowout double-digit victory over the Kings. With the line at -6.5, it’s worth taking Perth to win this comfortably.
Tip: Perth Wildcats at $1.37
