Illawarra Hawks vs Cairns Taipans match preview

In this NBL24 Round 5 matchup, the Illawarra Hawks face off against the Cairns Taipans, both eager to gain momentum in the NBL24 season. We’ll delve into the current form of these teams and provide you with some top betting tips for this exciting contest.

The Illawarra Hawks had higher expectations coming into NBL24 but have struggled, sitting at the bottom of the standings with a 1-4 record. Their defense has been porous, conceding over 100 points in three of their five games.

For the Hawks to improve, they’ll need their import player, Justin Robinson, to find his form, as he’s had a rough stretch with poor shooting and three consecutive losses.

The Cairns Taipans have adapted well to the season, with a 2-1 record, positioning them fourth in the standings. They missed some games due to their NBAxNBL commitments but are now ready to make up for lost time.

Captain Tahjere McCall, who had been on a minutes restriction, is expected to play a more significant role.
