POR vs PHX Dream11 Match Prediction

 

POR vs PHX Dream11: It has not been a pleasant season for Portland Trail Blazers and their fans. In fact, it has been a horror story of sorts, as the team continue to befuddle one and all with their utter inconsistency, and signature defeats so far this season. But this game at Moda Center, and in front of the home support, gives the team an opportunity to taste a win, an elusive one if you consider that the Blazers arrive for the home tilt against the Phoenix Suns with three defeats in the last three games. Can Damian Lillard and Co. do justice to the talent the roster has, or will it be another shocking result?

Well, it could be as the Ohonex Suns are fresh off an away win against the Sacramento Kings, a result that ended an 8-game losing run for the Suns. But the win doesn’t hide the fact that the Suns have been underperforming all season.

POR vs PHX Dream11 Grand League tips:

• Amongst all the players from both the teams, Hassan Whiteside has been the most consistent. That said, Damian Lillard will be playing and the world knows how good he is. He is an All-Star.
• Then there is CJ McCollum, who can outshine both Lillard and Whiteside on a given day.
• From Suns, Devin Booker is a must-have in both the Grand League and Small League teams, but Kelly Oubre Jr. could be a better value.
