New Zealand Breakers Team News
The Breakers have had their fair share of bad luck this season after they were hit by various injuries and covid-related absences. All of this resulted with their team underperforming and losing the race with the Sydney Kings for the top position with their recent 3-game losing streak.
For today´s game the team from New Zealand is playing in a special arena and will welcome back Rayan Rupert along with Sam Timmins. In an NBL23 season full of cases of teams battling covid, the Breakers were one of them and at the moment they are feeling the full consequences. It will be tough to stand up to the surging Wildcats, but they have the home advantage and improved firepower, which made the bookmakers give them clear advantage in this game.
Perth Wildcats Team News
The Wildcats are finally showing their full potential, but they decided to boost their roster even more with the signing of Corey Webster´s brother Tai Webster, who already played in the league. Interestingly, it was for the New Zealand Breakers, so it will be very intriguing to see how will the brother duo from New Zealand perform on home soil.
Perth have won their last 5 out of 6 games and only lost to the Bullets away from home after overtime. They capped off a terrific ending to the year with an important win against the Illawarra Hawks on New Year´s Eve, which puts them firmly in control of their own destiny in the playoff race.

New Zealand Breakers vs Perth Wildcats Prediction
The hosts definitely have enough to be a dangerous opponent in this game, but overall we think they lack the overall depth to be competitive until the end against the reinforced Wildcats. The guests have signed a top player with impressive numbers and experience as it has now become clear their goal is to win the title.
The +5.5 spread gives excellent cover in a game which the Wildcats can easily win with their new addition.
