POR vs MIL Dream11 Match Prediction

 

POR vs MIL Dream11: Portland Trail Blazers will be looking to get to winning ways when they host Eastern Conference giants Milwaukee Bucks at Moda Center on Sunday morning. The Blazers once again lost the game in which they were favourites, losing 116-102 to Minnesota Timberwolves. It was Blazers’ seventh defeat in the last 10 games, and 23rd this season, as they remain outside the top-8 heading into this game.
Milwaukee Bucks are leading the East, and sit atop the conference with the best record in the NBA at 34-6. The Bucks are one a two-game run, last beating Sacramento Kings 106-127 at Golden 1 Center. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a rather average outing by his own lofty standard, but Khris Middleton erupted for a magnificent double-double, scoring 27 points and 11 rebounds.

Grand League tips:

  • Bucks‘ last game showed that the reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo may have an odd day at the office, but he should be the first choice for captain in the Small League teams and should be the captain in at least three teams if you are making six on Dream11, and in five or six, of your playing with 10 teams.
  • Portland‘s Damian Lillard is in good form as well and leads the Blazers in the scoring department this season. He is more than capable of ending the game with game-high numbers.
  • It will be difficult to select all the big players due to the high value. But the likes of Wesley Matthews, Anfernee Simons, Robin Lopez and Kyle Korver can be the best value for points.
