We’re going to have a touch of NBA class added to this one. Miles Plumlee signed with the Wildcats this week and will be good to go in this one on Friday. The 211cm and 113kg big man brings 347 games of NBA experience to a Wildcats team currently 2nd on the ladder. We take a look at Friday’s (10/1/2020) NBL 2020 match which is between the Illawarra Hawks and Perth Wildcats.

Preview:
They lost 97-85 to the Bullets on Sunday but Bryce Cotton managed 24 points and six rebounds in his 37 minutes of action. He will need to do it again against the Hawks with Damian Martin not expected back until the end of January.
It’s a tough ask for the Hawks, this one.
At the bottom of the NBL ladder and losers of four of their last five games, the Hawks are in a bad way. They’ve not managed back-to-back wins all season. If the Hawks can topple a banged-up Wildcats team introducing a new import here, they’ll play the Phoenix on Sunday with a chance to win the elusive second game in a row.
Todd Blanchfield is coming in hot after scoring a career-high 35 points against the 36ers with 16 of those coming in the first quarter.
Odds:
Tip: Perth Wildcats at $1.37
