Historical reference line; unpriced forecast. Based on 15 completed games for Cairns Taipans and 15 for Brisbane Bullets, across seasons and competitions.

• Brisbane's 2026-27 NBL games: 368 scored (92.0) and 382 conceded in four games, but the Oct 3 loss to Tasmania was 99-109 in overtime, so their regulation scoring is lower than that average.
