Cairns Taipans v SE Melbourne Phoenix match preview

In round 2 NBL24, the Cairns Taipans are set to face off against the South East Melbourne Phoenix in what promises to be an exciting matchup. Let’s delve into a preview of these teams and some top betting tips for the game.

The Cairns Taipans started their season with a tough road loss against the Breakers but showed promise with a solid performance.
