NBL Betting Tips - NBL Playoffs - 2025 Predictions

The Wildcats have been dealt a savage blow, losing Dylan Windler in the final seconds of Game 1. Sydney are red hot favourites, but anything is possible in playoff basketball.

Perth Wildcats Vs. Sydney Kings (Sat 8:00pm)

Best Bet

Kristian Doolittle
Over 32.5 PRA
Bet Now
$1.81

The opposite of his surname, Kristian did it all. Perth have lost Windler for this game, which is a crucial blow, meaning Kristian will need to do more.

31 points in Game 1 and he will need something similar here for Perth to have any chance of stealing a game from Sydney. The peripheral stats are always pretty good, and we would love ten or more out of his rebounds and dimes.

RAC Arena will be a sea of red and loud, Doolittle will have a heap of the ball, and I see him being gallant for the Wildcats.

Next Best

Torrey Craig

$1.83

The easiest watch ever, as Torrey saluted as our best bet in Game 1. He started hot and never tapered off, clearing his PRA line before half time.

He is primed and ready for playoffs and looked at another level compared to others around him. Perth had no answer for his elbow jump shot, creating space and continually knocking them down.

Perth will need to adjust so we could see more assists out of Craig, with nine rebounds in Game 1, he could cover again with boards alone.

Value Bet

Elijah Pepper
3+ Threes

$2.80

With Windler going down, Perth needs someone to step up around Doolittle and JLA. Pepper should see more offence and hopefully can shoot better than Game 1.

Pepper is a knockdown outside shot, the attempts are promising but the conversions just aren’t happening right now. With a nothing to lose attitude in this game, we should see Pepper make at least three, in front of a roaring Wildcat crowd.
