POR vs GSW Dream11 Match Prediction

 

POR vs GSW Dream11: In this all-Western Conference battle, the Portland Trail Blazers will be playing host to the Golden State Warriors at Moda Center on Tuesday morning (IST). The Blazers have been struggling for consistency all season. As things stand in the Western Conference, the Blazers are sitting outside the top-8, and arrive in this game on the back of two straight defeats. But due to the longevity of the regular-season, they are very much in the playoff contention, with only three games separating them from top-8 heading into this game.
Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, are rock-bottom in the Western Conference heading into this game. With a deficit of 11 games on the playoffs spots, the Dubs are almost out of the playoffs contention.

• Hassan Whiteside is also having a good season on a personal level. His defensive contribution has been one of the best in the league, while he remains a threat as an offensive player.
• Players like Nassir Little and Gary Trent Jr, are expected to clock more minutes than usual due to injuries to key players.
• From Warriors, D’Angelo Russell is the obvious choice for captain. He can pop up with big numbers.
