No surprise to find Melbourne favoured by 4.5-points on Friday night. United won big over the Bullets at home last week by 14-points, extending their winning streak to six. The Taipans, meanwhile, lost a heartbreaker in overtime to the Hawks on Monday night leaving Cairns with plenty of work to do sitting third-last on the ladder. We take a look at Friday nights (29/11/2019) NBL 2019 match which is between the Cairns Taipans and Melbourne United.

Preview:
Speaking of the ladder, Melbourne continue to put pressure on the second-place Wildcats sitting just a game behind at 7-4. With a two-game slate ahead this weekend, United could leapfrog the reigning champions should they win out.
The odds might be well in Melbourne’s favour, but nothing will come easy on the road this week in Cairns. The Taipans have very little to celebrate right now, but on the plus side, they do own a pair of wins over United – one of which came in a 90-85 victory only a month ago.
Cairns has covered the line in four of its last seven games as the line underdog at home to Melbourne. The Taipans have also been the second-best team to back at the line this year behind a 6-5 record, so it’s worth backing the trends, and the Taipans, to give Melbourne a scare.
Tip: Melbourne United at $1.63
