The best and safest option is Luka Doncic. He has been dropping numbers like the winter wheat, and will surely have a huge impact on the game.
That said, players like Kristpas Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and Brandon Ingram are too good to ignore. Either of them can pop up with game-winning numbers.
So go with Doncic as your star player in the Dream11 small league, and of course in Grand Leagues as well. But you can also throw caution to the wind in your Grand Leagues and can make go with Porzingis, Holiday and Ingram as your star player.
