South East Melbourne Phoenix Vs. Perth Wildcats (Wed 7:30pm)

Best Bet

Nathan Sobey
Over 30.5 PRA

He has been the go-to guy for SEM all season and now is his time to shine. Big games require big game players and Sobey will be licking his lips at the chance to take over a final.

He has averaged 22PPG for the season, with the ability to score at all three levels. Second overall for three point makes and a consistent number of free throws per game. I expect Perth to make Sobey earn every basket, so expect to see him at the charity stripe.

The points line is nice at 21.5, but there is the chance that Perth makes someone else beat them, in which case Sobey will become the facilitator. Similar to how the Jackies guarded him, where he finished with 9 dimes.

South East Melbourne Phoenix Vs. Perth Wildcats (Wed 7:30pm)

Next Best

South East Melbourne Phoenix
WIN

This game will be a juxtaposition of styles with Perth winning through defence and Sth East winning by letting it fly. I think the Phoenix will have too much fire power for Perth.

It should be a ripper match up, with Perth on an absolute streak to finish the regular season. The game being in Melbourne helps for the home fans, but both teams have enjoyed the break and will be going in fresh.

Scoring almost 12PPG more than Perth over the season, the Phoenix will utilise Sobey, Clark and Glover to pile on the points. Phoenix have looked solid all season and I can’t see them dropping this, inspired by the Melbourne crowd.

South East Melbourne Phoenix Vs. Perth Wildcats (Wed 7:30pm)

Value Bet

Kevin Doolittle
8+ Rebounds

Doolittle is the sole player in tonight’s game that features in the top ten rebounds per game for the season.

Neither side has a dominating big man on the glass, which gives KD a great opportunity here. Doolittle had 8 or more rebounds on fourteen occasions this season, with a season high of 14.

For Perth to stay in touch with Phoenix they will need to emphasize defensive rebounds, as South East live for second chance opportunities after a missed basket. The high tempo play style of Josh King’s men will suit rebounders, as Phoenix will live and die by the three ball.
