Preview:
Sometimes these bottom dweller clashes provide plenty of fireworks, and with both sides looking to lift from the bottom of the ladder, it’s almost surprising to find the bookmakers favouring the Taipans by 6.5-points.
Home-court advantage counts for a lot, especially in Cairns, but there’s very little to like about the Taipans offensively.
On the flip side, the Hawks currently rank dead last in points-per-game and are the only side in the competition shooting less than 40% from the field.
This game could turn out to be a close but ugly affair. I’m still not sold on this generous line in favour of Cairns though, especially with the Hawks holding a 7-1-4 record as the away underdog against the Taipans at the line.
Tip: Cairns Taipans at $1.36
