Sydney beat Perth 99–91 after Kendric Davis's flawless first quarter, but his 24-point, nine-assist finish tells a more useful fantasy story. Brandon Knight scored 27 and Kristian Doolittle grabbed 15 rebounds before both clubs' second Round 7 games.

Joe Ingles' 25-Minute Bench Role Is a Round 7 Fantasy Asset — Not a Starting-Spot Promise
Joe Ingles is averaging about 25 minutes off Melbourne United's bench, with points, rebounds and assists across nine NBL27 appearances. A Round 7 double makes his established role worth examining, but his efficiency and fantasy upside need separating from any assumption of a bigger workload.
