Preview:
Cairns currently sits fourth on the ladder at time of publish, however the Taipans will be eager to put last fortnight’s overtime loss to South East Melbourne behind them.
The Phoenix sit sixth on the ladder, but with a win and results going their way this weekend, South East Melbourne could find themselves back inside the top four.
The weight of money is firmly in Cairns’ favour with home-court advantage and rightfully so. The Taipans have won six of their nine home games so far, making this a daunting task for a Phoenix side that has never played up north.
Cairns has been the best side to bet against the line this year holding a strong 11-7 record. Considering the travel demands on the Phoenix this weekend, the Taipans look too good to ignore.
Tip: Cairns Taipans at $1.60
