Perth are up there as the most in-form team of the competition winning 8 of their last 9 matches heading into Round 21. It feels that they are quietly over achieving and it is a place that they will be happy with still being compared to the top teams as the underdog heading into the finals.
The Wildcats offence has been lit since the holiday season averaging well over their season average 100 points per game in 2026. This does not bode well for Brisbane who are at the other end of that spectrum conceding 100+ points in 3 of their last 4 matches.
Perth have beaten Brisbane by 20+ in their last 2 matches this season and I don’t expect anything different here. The Wildcats will put the hammer down, score 100+ and cover the 21.5 points as the home favourite.
Brisbane have had the biggest problem defending versatile forwards and both Kristian Doolittle and Dylan Windler are in fine scoring form so I am jumping on their overs against the tired Bullets defence.
- Brisbane have lost by 32 points or more in 4 of their last 5 matches.
- Brisbane have conceded 107 points or more in 3 of their last 4 matches
- Kristian Doolittle is averaging 21.5 points in his last 8 games.
- Dylan Windler has scored 15+ points in 3 of his last 5 matches.

Perth Wildcats Form & Team News
Perth are on an absolute tear at the moment winning 8 of their last 9 matches after beating Cairns 98-84 in Round 20.
The Wildcats offence has lifted dramatically on this late season run averaging 100.5 points in the eight matches they have won, scoring no less than 92 points. The method is pretty simple for Perth, if they get to 90 points they win matches with only 2 of their 11 losses coming after reaching that mark this season.
The scoring goes in combination with having a strong defensive structure this season under John Rillie with the Wildcats ranked 2nd in the league, averaging 86.3 opposition points per game and are the most difficult team to shoot against with an opposition field goal percentage of 43.0%.
Brisbane Bullets Form & Team News
The Bullets have lost 11 straight matches and cannot do anything in the final two rounds to avoid the wooden spoon which will be handed to them at the conclusion of the NBL26 season.
There is not a lot to say that hasn’t already been said about the Bullets, ranked 10th in field goal percentage on offence and with even bigger problems on the defensive side of the ball. Brisbane ranks 10th in points conceded, opposition FG%, opposition 3P% and ninth in opposition assists and rebounds.
That says it all.
