The Perth Wildcats have the perfect chance to end the NBL season with a flurry of wins after being scheduled to play their final nine games of the campaign at home.

The Wildcats returned to Perth on Tuesday after spending the previous nine weeks playing interstate.

The 10-time champions will hit the road again to take on Adelaide (March 6), Melbourne United (March 10), Brisbane (March 12), and NZ (March 14).

But from there it's all smooth sailing for the Wildcats, who will host nine straight games at RAC Arena starting from March 20 against the Breakers.

The Wildcats (9-6) have slipped to third on the ladder after losing four of their past six games.

But their extended run at home to end the season will give them an excellent chance of snaring a top-two berth.

Melbourne United are top of the ladder with a 12-4 record, while South East Melbourne (10-5) are second.

The round 16 fixtures were released on Wednesday.

The Illawarra Hawks and South East Melbourne Phoenix will tip-off the round with a clash at the WIN Entertainment Centre on March 17.
