United vs Taipans Prediction & Tips: NBL27 Round 3
Second up in the Saturday double-header for NBL27 Round 3 we have Melbourne United playing host to the Cairns Taipans. After suffering a tough loss on the road to begin the round, this stacked United roster will be desperate to bounce back with a big win in this one.
Check out our United vs Taipans preview below and head to our NBL tips page for tips for every match this season!
Melbourne United return to John Cain Arena on Saturday night seeking an immediate response after a chaotic 84-82 road loss to the Tasmania JackJumpers on Thursday. Jacob Chance's squad was dragged into an absolute war of attrition in Hobart, with the whistle dominating a stop-start contest that featured a combined 72 free throws and six players fouling out. Despite the frustrating result, United still found reliable offensive production from their frontcourt, as Josh Oduro dominated with 22 points and eight rebounds, while veteran Joe Ingles provided a steady hand with 18 points and five assists. Backing up just 48 hours after such a gruelling, physical battle will undoubtedly test their legs, but returning to their home floor provides a massive boost.
