Illawarra Hawks: searching for consistency
Illawarra Hawks have had mixed results in their last five games, with two wins and three losses, though their most recent game ended in a win. The visitors have four wins and six losses in their last 10 games, indicating poor form.
Illawarra Hawks average 95.9 points scored and 101.8 conceded per game this season. In recent games, their offence has improved slightly to 96.6 points per game, but their defence remains vulnerable, conceding 103.1.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Neither team has a particularly high-scoring offence, and the Perth Wildcats often score relatively few points at home. Despite their poor form, the Illawarra Hawks have consistently kept the margin below nine points in head-to-head games, doing so in 12 of the last 13 meetings between these teams. The overall statistics also suggest that the visitors can compete even away from home. In our view, the Hawks will take advantage of the hosts' inconsistency and once again keep the margin within a reasonable range. The pick is Illawarra Hawks +6.5 handicap.
