Kings vs. Wildcats Predictions

Best Bet

Kings -8.5 @ $1.90

The Kings have had the measure of the Wildcats this season, including two one-sided wins since December.

The first win was a 108-79 win in Sydney, before the Kings scored a 102-84 road win last month. Those are the best form guides for the first game of the playoff series, and it’s why the Kings are favoured by 8.5 points.

They enter the playoffs with a good winning streak, and they are well-rested. Perth had to play the Phoenix in the seeding game, which they lost, before beating United in the knockout game to advance to the main draw.

Fatigue could set in for the Wildcats during this series, and the Kings are a team that can pile on the points in a hurry. They have Kendric Davis, who we thought was unlucky not to win MVP, and they have good depth with Xavier Cooks, Torrey Craig, and Kouat Noi.

Take the Kings to cover the –8.5 spread with the help of playing at home.

Same Game Multi

Kings –8.5, Kendris Davis 25+ Points, Xavier Cooks 8+ Rebounds, Over 184.5 Points @ $10.50

Davis is our top pick to continue his scoring ways. He ended the regular season with totals of 35, 30, 24, 30, and 31 points, which is why he had a good case for MVP. He’s on a heater, and scoring 25+ points has a high chance of cashing for NBL punters.

Cooks is also an important player, and his size makes him a good rebounder. He has 18 boards from his last two games, and although the Wildcats don’t put up a lot of shots, they often increase their tempo against fast-paced teams like the Kings. Include Cooks 8+ rebounds in your NBL same game multi picks.

The Kings could score over 100 points, so we’re including over 184.5 points in our multi.

Best Value Bet

Kendric Davis 4+ Threes Made @ $3.15

Davis doesn’t settle for shooting three pointers all game, but he’s dangerous from deep when he pulls the trigger.

The point guard had six made threes just two games ago, and if he’s anywhere near that level, the Wildcats could be in for a long night.

Punters get $3.15 for Davis to make 4+ threes, and it’s a good NBL prop bet.
