Cairns Taipans Team News
With two consecutive losses behind them and the loss of Keanu Pinder for today´s game, the Cairns Taipans are facing a very difficult situation. They will find beating the surging 36ers more than demanding as the hole below their rim should prove as too big of a problem against Adelaide´s very tall, imposing and long frontcourt.
The Taipans established some strong form at the start of December, but then suffered a disastrous 22-point loss against the Wildcats at home and lost a narrow battle in Melbourne against United. Without their MVP candidate, they will have to dig deep in order to stay competitive against a top-level team that is finally waking up.
Adelaide 36ers Team News
The Adelaide 36ers extended their season-best winning streak to four straight victories on Thursday night when they got the better of a persistent and pesky Bullets side. After starting the season on the back foot, the 36ers are now showing signs they have the potential to fight for the title but need to keep winning.
Usually, the Taipans would be a tough and unfavourable matchup for Adelaide in Queensland. However, the away team has a rare opportunity to face Cairns without one of their best players, which is a one-of-a-kind chance for the guests. Adelaide are in ideal form to take advantage of the given situation and should be able to come away with a crucial victory away from home.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers Prediction
As expected, the 36ers have been the choice of the market so far. There is still value in them, however, as they should be favourites even though they are not playing at home. The hole left in the Taipans frontcourt with the absence of Keanu Pinder will be too costly against a stacked 36ers side with a lot of height and size.
