Perth Wildcats vs Brisbane Bullets 

Friday 9:30pm AEDT (Feb 13), RAC Arena 

The Perth Wildcats return to RAC Arena this Friday night to host a Brisbane Bullets side currently struggling at the bottom of the NBL ladder. Fourth-placed Perth enters the matchup in sublime form, having won eight of their last nine games behind the dominant interior presence of Jo Lual-Acuil Jr and the all-round play of Kristian Doolittle.

The Bullets arrive on a daunting 11-game losing streak and have lost by 20 or more points in their last two meetings against the Wildcats. With Brisbane missing key depth and struggling with offensive efficiency, the Wildcats should cover the -19.5 spread.
