Preview:
Perth is laying -6.0 at time of publish, but it appears the bookies haven’t factored in the Taipans’ strong record at RAC Arena over the last two seasons.
Cairns has won its last three trips to Perth, including an 88-84 victory over the defending champs back in December. The Taipans have also been a steady betting play at the line playing to a 15-12-1 record this year, making the underdogs a fairly worthwhile bet.
Cam Oliver has been outstanding against the Wildcats this year putting up two 20-point games, while the Taipans also held Perth to just 28% shooting from beyond the arc when they last met.
Considering this is the first time Cairns has featured in the finals since 2017, I expect this to be a very close and competitive game.
