Illawarra Hawks Team News

The heavily shorthanded Illawarra Hawks went to Tasmania to face the vice-champions with a very young lineup without two key pieces and vital scorers. Michael Frazier and Tyler Harvey both missed the game because of an illness and their team simply could not keep up with the JackJumpers.

For their final match of the year, they will welcome back both of the aforementioned players. Along with home advantage, this gives them plenty of hope they can recover and keep their very slim playoff hopes alive. Even at home, the Wildcats will be a very tough assignment, but the Hawks have started playing better and will have a full roster.

Perth Wildcats Team News

While it´s true that the Hawks are in extremely poor form, the Perth Wildcats need to be wary of the fact that Illawarra lost their last game without two of their top scorers. Illawarra have shown some grit recently, which should make them a worthy opponent on home floor, especially when they still have mathematical chances of reaching the postseason.

On the other hand, the Wildcats are currently in a huge playoff battle with a couple of other teams. At this stage every win is crucial, so Perth will be looking to do the double over the Hawks. Earlier on in the season, the Wildcats won 77:71 at home, which makes them clear favourites in today´s game.

Illawarra Hawks vs Perth Wildcats Prediction

We agree that the Wildcats should be favourites, but the staking and the bookmakers are favouring them too much in our opinion. The Hawks are at home and will have a full lineup, so they should be able to keep up and make the game interesting.

The Wildcats have become a very popular betting option as of late because of their red-hot form, but in the previous round the Bullets showed they are vulnerable when they play against a full-squad team.
