Cairns Taipans vs Brisbane Bullets Preview

Time is quickly running out for the Bullets if they hold any hope of making the finals this year.

Andrej Lemanis’ men helped their cause last week with a huge double-digit upset over the Phoenix, but there’s still plenty of work left to be done after backing that performance up with a big loss to the 36ers in Adelaide.

Fortunately, a very winnable game against the Taipans is up next – a team Brisbane has beaten twice already this year.

These two played out a thrilling overtime game earlier in January, but the Bullets got the last laugh winning by 20 points a month later.

It’s obviously very difficult to feel overly confident in either team right now, especially considering Brisbane has lost four of its last five.

Both teams also rank top four in points allowed this year, which has me leaning towards a high-scoring game.

It just so happens that the last five meetings between the two have gone Over the Total, so I’m expecting the scoreboard to get a workout.
