Saturday Night NBL action continues in Sydney with the Kings hosting the Cairns Taipans from Qudos Bank Arena. The Taipans will be looking to bounce back from a narrow loss to the Breakers when they Travel to Sydney, while the Kings will be looking for revenge against the Taipans after their last outing.

This match is a huge one for each club so early in the season as the Taipans looks to stay within reach of both the Kings and Breakers at the top of the table and given the Taipans have only won two of their last five against the Kings, beating the competition leaders on their home court may be too tall an order for the Taipans.

The Kings have the home court advantage to go with the bonus that their last win over the United came without Derrick Walton Jr scoring 20 points or more to lead the side. Walton Jr facilitated offense and created points for players like Xavier Cooks, Dejan Vasiljevic and Jordan Hunter off the bench. Should the Kings continue that form, and Walton Jr provide more scoring personally, the Kings can win this by 11+ points paying $2 with Palmerbet.

The starting combination of Walton Jr, Vasiljevic and Cooks is one of the most dangerous trios in the NBL. All three can score inside and outside the three point line which spreads the floor out for their offense to create greater passing lanes and more points. Should the Kings continue their roll that’s got them to the top of the competition ladder, and Walton Jr get more involved shooting the ball, the Kings will have the highest scoring quarter of the match paying $1.42.

The Kings are not the only team with offensive weapons on the floor as DJ Hogg, Keanu Pinder and Shannon Scott all reached double figures in scoring when they last took on the Kings. Should these three combine on offensive, and the Kings offensive trio go to work as well, this match will certainly go over the 173.5 total match points for the game paying $1.90 with the top betting sites.

KEY MATCH UP: KEANU PINDER v DERRICK WALTON JR

The last time these two guards met, they were evenly balanced in scoring and assists for their respective sides. One key difference between the two guards was in their rebounding. Pinder took more rebounds, and more offensive rebounds, than Walton Jr which allowed him to push the pace of play on the court and create more for his team mates. The Taipans recorded more assists than the Kings last time out, this will be something Walton Jr needs to be cautious of as he will be key to slowing down the Taipans offence and leading the Kings to the win.
