NBL Prediction: Perth Wildcats – Sydney Kings (27-09-2024)

In this NBL prediction, we will be taking a closer look at the matchup between the Perth Wildcats and the Sydney Kings. These are some of the strongest teams we have in the NBL, and as such, this match will be a high-octane affair with some amazing basketball played.

🏀 Match prediction: Total OVER 187.5 Points @ 1.80

Both of these sides started the season off with wins, as the Kings outplayed Adelaide while the Wildcats beat S.E. Melbourne. Both also demonstrated tremendous scoring potential, which is going to be the focus of our prediction.

On one side, we have Perth, led by one of the purest scorers in the league, Bryce Cotton, who has played on the team for years now. On the other hand, we have Xavier Cooks, the former NBL MVP, who is back in Sydney hoping to lead them to another title.

Overall, we’re talking about some of the best teams in the league, and we’re going to back them to play a classic here.

Full disclosure at first, this is a ridiculously high line, but there are good reasons for that. Both of these teams scored over 100 points in their first-round matchups, and that’s why we’re backing it.

We have two teams that enjoy playing fast-paced basketball and also enjoy scoring a lot. While we would be less inclined to back this over if it were played in Sydney, the match is in Perth, where the home team is likely to push the high-octane tempo they enjoy.

Sydney will have no choice but to keep up because there is no way they’ll be able to slow the pace. Perth is pretty dead set in their ways, and they will keep pushing, especially with Bryce Cotton as the point of the attack.

Perth also doesn’t have the best defense, so we think the Kings should be able to keep up. It’s just going to be a fast-paced match where scoring will be what both teams are after.

Whether the total goes over will be determined by a bit of luck because it is really a high line, but we think it’s a value play. If any teams are going to hit this line, it’s these two, so that’s why we’re backing it.
