GSW vs POR DREAM11 Match Prediction

 

An injury-hit Golden State Warriors will look for an elusive when they entertain an inconsistent Portland Trail Blazers at Chase Center. The Blazers have hardly been as efficient they can be in the early going, while the Dubs are bracing for a very difficult season following injuries to a number of key players.

Portland have split their first six games but have two defeats in the last three games after failing to beat a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers in the last match.

At 128-126 and with less than 5 seconds remaining in the game, the Blazers had the game. But the clever movement from AlHprford created the space for Furkan Korkman, whos tied his luck from beyond the arc and sent the ball into the hoop. It was a 3-pointer, and the Sixers clinched a memorable 128-129 win from the jaw of defeat.

The defeat left the Blazers at 10th in the Western Conference. But the next game is an opportunity to get back to winning ways as they face the Golden State Warriors. Not the old version which created a dynasty that will last for ages. But the new one, which is marred by injuries, depleted by the absence of key players.

SPL vs SAM Dream11

————————————————————————————————————————————–

Fantasy picks:

Captain options:

Damian Lillard: With no Stephen curry, no Klay Thompson, no Draymond Green, you have an easy option as far as picking a super player for this game is concerned. The 29-year-old superstar is averaging 29.8 per game this season. he will most probably top the scoring charts in this match.

CJ McCollum: With Thompson and Curry separated by injured this season, McCollum and Lillard could be the next Splash brother version. The 28-year-old point guard is so good that he sometimes outscores his esteemed partner.

D’Angelo Russell: He is a doubt for this game, but the 23-year-old is a player who is more than capable of pulling the strings for Warriors. He averaged 21.1 points per game last season.

Other notable additions:

Willie Cauley-Stein: Still getting accustomed with the Warriors’ philosophy having joined the Dubs in the off-season.

Glen Robinson III: He is a started these days and has impressed with his contribution this season.

Team News:

Golden State Warriors news:

Stephen Curry will miss the next 3-4 months due to a broken bone, as per reports. The 31-year-old fell awkwardly on his left hand onto the court after a collision with Aron Baynes.

The two-time NBA MVP joins his Splash Brother Klay Thompson on the treatment room. Thompson has been out of Warriors’ roster since suffering an Achilles injury in game-6 of NBA finals against Toronto Raptors.

To make matter worse for Warriors, Draymond Green picked up a finger injury against San Antonio Spurs and is expected to miss “few games”.

D’Angelo Russell is questionable due to an ankle injury. He will be monitored before the game.

Kevon Looney (hamstring), Jacob Evans (hip) and Alen Smailagić (ankle injury) remain on the sideline.

Portland Trail Blazers:

Hassan Whiteside was held out of the game against Philadelphia 76ers with a knee injury. The Blazers will monitor Whiteside before the game.

Zach Collins, who has surprised one and all with his improved performance this season, will miss the game with a shoulder injury, while Pau Gasol (foto) and Juduf Nurkic (leg) also miss out.

Surely into football, kicked it for a while, and now beholding! Follows American sports, especially the NBA. And I believe Stephen Curry is under-rated as was Steven Gerrard.
