Prediction
Both sides are coming off big wins last round and this is shaping up as a close match.
The Cairns Taipans won their match in overtime against the Kings last week and it was their defence that stood out. The Taipans forced the Kings to turn the ball over 21 times which went a long way to deciding the result.
The 36ers are the favourites as the home side, but these two sides have played in some lower scoring matches in recent times and the match could be close.
Prediction – Cairns Taipans + 4.5
Game Total – Under 173.5
