Preview:
Mike Kelly’s side will need to be at their best this week if they wish to put one last dagger through Adelaide’s season. Now sitting seventh at 12-14, the 36ers currently find themselves sitting three games back from the fourth-place Bullets, making every game from here on out a must win.
The 36ers can take some confidence in their 8-5 record at home though, which makes an upset worth backing here. The Taipans haven’t won in Adelaide since 2017, while the 36ers are also 4-2 over the last 12 months as the home underdog at the line.
Cairns will no doubt be a tough side to face in the finals, especially at home. Considering the Taipans are just 4-7 on the road however, all signs point towards a very close contest on Saturday.
Tip: Adelaide 36ers at $2.14
