Preview:
It’s safe to say the Kings have enjoyed playing the Taipans over the last two seasons.
You have to rewind all the way back to December 2017 to find the last time Cairns defeated Sydney – a streak that includes seven straight wins for the Kings.
As the odds suggest, this game should be no trouble for the ladder leaders as they return home on Sunday. The Kings have won eight of their last 12 home games as favourites against the Taipans, but there’s nothing stopping Cairns from at least keeping this one competitive.
Despite their struggles against Sydney, the Taipans have been a strong betting play as the road underdog against the line. Cairns has covered in five of their nine games in this scenario against the Kings, while it’s also worth keeping in mind Sydney enters this game fresh from a trip to Perth.
Tip: Sydney Kings at $1.22
