HOU vs BKN Dream11 Match Prediction

 

HOU vs BKN Dream11: Following an unexpected defeat and out of the blue result against the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets will be looking for the home comfort when Brooklyn Nets pay them a visit for a regular-season matchup at Toyota Center, on Sunday morning (IST).
The Rockets came crashing down to earth against the Warriors at Chase Center as Steve Kerr’s group of novice handed James Harden and Russell Westbrook a 116-104 defeat, impact of which may take some time to alleviate. But the wins can certainly expedite the process, and Doc Rivers will hope that he gets more from his squad than he is getting of late, for Harden and Westbrook are due for consistent support from the teammates. Despite that negative result, the Rockets are still good on the points table, sitting at 4th with a 21-10 return on the season.
Brooklyn Nets, on the other hand, can empathise with the Rockets as they themselves lost the game against one of the most underperforming teams in the league, and that too at home, as Nets went down 82-94 to the New York Knicks.

HIU vs BKN Dream11 Grand League tips:

  • Russell Westbrook has been playing at a different these days, even outperforming James Harden on some days. So he should be considered for the captain option in Dream11 Grand League teams.
  • It will be hard to select the likes of Harden, Westbrook, Dinwiddie and Capela in one team, so bench players have to be selected.
  • In that sense, the likes of Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and also players with a relatively fewer points value.
