Preview:
Brisbane simply needs to win this game and have Melbourne and New Zealand lose if they wish to return to the finals, but unfortunately, that might be easier said than done against a very resilient Taipans team.
Cairns heads to Brisbane on short rest following their game against Melbourne on Thursday night, which explains the long odds on offer for the Taipans to pull off an upset. Cairns has also won only five of their 12 games on the road this year, making this a risky head-to-head bet either way.
The one piece of good news is the Taipans have been the best defensive side away from home. The Taipans have allowed the fewest points to opponents on the road this year, which should come in handy against a Bullets side that ranks sixth in points scored at home.
With the Taipans also a shot to steal the second spot on the ladder away from the Wildcats (should they beat Melbourne, of course), don’t be surprised if this turns out to be a close game. The Total has gone Under in the last five games between these two sides, so back it to be low scoring.
Tip: Brisbane Bullets at $1.64
