Cairns Taipans Team News
The Taipans were winless against the Wildcats last season and achieved their last victory against them in 2020. With their dream start to the new season and the undermanned roster of the guests, it seems the stage is finally set for their first win against Perth after more than two and a half years.
This season Cairns are on a mission after a disappointing year so their convincing wins over the Phoenix and the vice-champions JackJumpers come as no surprise. The main difference in their new-look roster is much more firepower than last season – leaders Keanu Pinder and Tahjere McCall have a lot more help with three productive imports, so the away team will have to rely on disruptive defense to weather the storm in Queensland.
Perth Wildcats Team News
The Wildcats grinded out a victory on Saturday against the Hawks but paid a high price for it. During the opening minutes, one of their new imports and key additions TaShawn Thomas went down with an injury and had to leave the court in pain. He will be unavailable for today´s game, but the Wildcats still haven´t given up on him as they will wait to see if he will be ready for the clash against Melbourne before they make any roster changes.
Besides this unexpected setback, Perth will also miss the services of Corey Webster, who will be out because of family reasons. Despite these absences, the Wildcats still have the potential to fight for the win if their bench and experienced veteran Jesse Wagstaff continue to produce.

The obvious thing is putting your money on the hosts to cover the spread and that´s exactly what we decided to do. We decided to keep things simple this time because the hosts are looking much better than last year and also enter this game on the back of two blowout wins.
