Unlike the 36ers, Wildcats is the best defensive team & will lock down the Hawks and run away with this game in one of the toughest arena for any opponents. My thoughts on the Hawks team is clear in my last thread. Very confident this line has tremendous value as I expect it to rise up to 6+ by tip-off. Has all the makings of a blowout.
Haven't had any luck with my big plays lately (0-2) so I know I'm due. For those newbie following this pick, only risk what you can afford.

No bet for me tonight, gonna see if I can find some value in the live betting market.
Perth are hands down the more talented team on paper, with individuals like Prather & Cotton who can take over a game at any given point in time. Make no mistake, this team can score with the best of them on any given day but it is their D that allows them to hang in games when their shots are not falling.
Game 1 Hawks got killed 17-3 on the offensive boards even though they shot a better FG and 3P% than the Cats. Recent champions like the Breakers and Perth have always had this ability to out hustle their opponents on the boards giving them plenty of second chance opportunities.
So what adjustments can the Hawks make to address their rebounding woes tonight? This is not new problem for the Hawk's coach as they also got out-rebounded on the glass in G1 by the 36ers and Bevo is the former coach of Perth & knows this team very well. I'm not so sure Bevo has a quick fix solution for this since rebounding is more than just effort and commitment, it is more like a mental pride that a team possesses.
The line for tonight's game is sharp and am leaning towards the Hawks to pull through with a very tight fought W.There will be better opportunities for a live in game wager or two.

How does the Hawks regroup after losing a must win game at home?
Coach Bevo wants his players to find their identity, loosen the shackles, get back to playing uptempo D and get out and run. Olgilvy needs another breakout game and the team as a whole needs to have one of their best offensive game. They need to block out and keep the Cats off the glass. They have played well in stretches of G1 & G2 but have lost the rebounding battles in the 3Q of both games.
Cats have all the momentum, their imports are playing with confidence and are ready to close this series out today. Matt Knight is 50/50 chance of playing and Brandt is a good replacement with solid D and good low post moves.
The talent disparity between these two teams is glaringly obvious and Cats game move up a notch when Damo is knocking down shots from downtown.
Hawks have gotten this far by outscoring their opponents but the Cats D is the best in the comp and they will strangle the life out of this Hawks team and run away with a double digit win.The jungle crowd will be loud and ferocious today.

Wildcats have made a pact that they will only shave their beards when they win the championship. I'd say get your broom and shavers ready
