Melbourne United Team News
We have to say we are truly impressed with how Melbourne United went into the international break. Facing two top rivals in South East Melbourne Phoenix and the reigning champions Sydney Kings, they managed to come out on top twice, even though they were playing severely shorthanded and without a couple of crucial players.
Luke Travers came back against the Sydney Kings, while for today´s clash United will have their star point guard Matthew Dellavedova back. Import Ian Clark will still be an out, but United now have more than enough at their disposal to keep a hold of the top spot with a home win against the lowly Cairns Taipans.
We are set to return to the court tomorrow afternoon when we face off against the Cairns Taipans in our Member Appreciation Game. Read the DrinkWise Match Preview here 👇

Cairns Taipans Team News
The Cairns Taipans are nowhere near their last season´s form and having a subpar campaign at the moment with a negative 4-7 W-L record, which is currently enough for seventh place. In addition, their form is extremely poor as they have lost their last six out of eight games, which is not very encouraging ahead of the clash against the league leaders.
In their last home game against the Brisbane Bullets, the Cairns Taipans put up a fight, but lost 84:79 because they were completely outrebounded on the glass. Facing one of the tallest and most formidable frontcourts in the league led by Jo Lual-Acuil, they should experience the same problems today. Nobody is giving a chance to the Taipans in this away game, and neither do we.

Melbourne United vs Cairns Taipans Prediction
Melbourne United are almost complete and have their star man Dellavedova back. Currently, they look much more sound than the shaky and unstable Taipans, so they should make home-court advantage count.
That is why we opted for the home team to win and to cover the spread, which should be closer to around 10-12 points.
