Cairns Taipans vs Sydney Kings match preview
In the upcoming NBL clash between the Cairns Taipans and Sydney Kings, both teams are gearing up for a high-stakes battle.
The Taipans, with only four games under their belt this season, currently sit in fifth place with a 2-2 record. Their wins came against weakened opponents, which might expose their weaknesses when they face the reigning champions.
The Taipans face a significant setback as they play without star player Tahjere McCall, who’s with his family in the US. This absence was evident in their narrow loss to the Illawarra Hawks. It’s a mountain to climb for the Taipans to secure a win against the Kings.
On the other hand, the Sydney Kings are eager to rebound from their recent home loss to the Tasmania JackJumpers. The addition of import star DJ Hogg provides them with a clear advantage. With a solid season start and three consecutive wins before the loss to JackJumpers, the Kings are poised as clear favorites in this matchup.
Head-to-head history slightly favors the Kings, and the absence of McCall further tilts the odds in their favor.

Cairns Taipans vs Sydney Kings NBL24 Betting Tips
The Sydney Kings are the stronger team with a 4-2 record, while the Cairns Taipans are 2-2. Recent performance, the addition of DJ Hogg, and historical success against the Taipans make a win by 5.5 points at -111.11 with the top online bookmakers a reasonable bet.
Both teams have shown a defensive focus recently, and their head-to-head history often results in low-scoring games. DJ Hogg’s return might take time to impact the Kings’ offence, making the under 184.5 total points a strategic bet with the Basketball bookamkers.
