Cairns Taipans - Melbourne United
-> Over 159 @1.826 7/10 pinni
From preview Cairns vs Adelaide
"Carins started 0-2 in this season.
84-74 lose vs Perth after OT
92-78 lose vs Sydney
For me its no surprise because Perth and Sydney are much stronger than Cairns and especially the match against Perth was very convincing.
With Starks and Craig they lost good scorers from last Season.
For me its not a big deal.
They managed to keep Gliddon and Worthington.
With the addition of Heuir, Egwu, Edwin and Trice they gained a lot of quality.
All of them played in the NCAA and Edwin, Egwu and Trice had the Chance to gain some experience in the NBA Preseason and Summerleague.
They also added Weeks , McCarron and Jawai.
Jawai is also a very important player in my opinion.
Most of their additions had decent experiences in NCAA and NBA Pre/SL but Jawai played for Kazan , Barcelona , Galatasaray , Andorra and Perth.
Starting 5 will be Weeks , Gliddon , Edwin , Loughton and Egwu.
For this League , Egwu is a fantastic Center. Many Rebounds and decent shooting percentage , hitting 64.3% of his Fieldgoals and 50% of his threepointer so far.
His Height (2.11m) is also very important.
This Season Cairns have a very wide Rooster. Many scoringoptions wiith Egwu, Gliddon, Weeks and so on.
Of course they need to find their rythm but in my opinion they will start improving tommorow."
Well they lost 83-67 on the road but with only hitting 31% 3FG and 41.7% FG.
They got enough quality to score 85points tommorow and their defense is weak enough to receive 80+ points.
On the other side we got Melbourne.
Going 3-3 into the season scoring 81.66ppg and receiving
79.16ppg.
On the road they 1-1
87-98 against Adelaide
76-71 against NZ Breakers
Scoring just 71 vs NZ Breakers but its no problem because the Breakers are better in defense.
Cairns should receive at least 85 points today.
Cairns 0-3 right now.
Tommorow its their first home game and they want to win.
So far they receive 86.3ppg and scored just 73ppg.
They got enough quality to score more than 73ppg and for me they just struggled at their hitting percentage so far and their weak defense and i expect them to shoot much better than the last games.
For me both teams got enough quality to receive 80+ points and for me a fair line would be around 165.
good value
With Goulding, Jackson , Blanchfield and Wesley the got enough scoring options
