POR vs NYK Dream11 Match Prediction

POR vs NYK Dream11: Portland Trail Balzers will look to snap their two-game skid when they host one of the worst-performing teams in the NBA this season New York Knicks at Moda Center. This will be Blazers’ fourth straight home game, while the Knicks kick-start their Western Conference tour with this match.

Knicks are on a nine-game losing run, with their latest setback coming at home against Indiana Pacers. That defeat was the 19th for the Knicks in the season, and they are the worst-performing team in the NBA at the moment.

But the Blazers are also down on the table and are getting further away from the playoff spots with each passing week. They have a negative return on the season with a 9-15 record and come into this game looking to avoid a hat-trick of defeats.

Dream11 Tips and Predictions: Fantasy Picks-

Damian Lillard: He is the focal point for the Blazers whenever they go out and attack opponents’ rim. The 29-year-old is definitely a head-and-shoulder above than most of his peers, and surely the best amongst the players lining up for this game.

Points Per Game: 26.7
Rebounds Per Game: 4.6
Assists Per Game: 7.4
Steals Per Game: 1.0
Blocks Per Game: 0.5

CJ McCollum: If one player from the Blazers‘ roster who has the ability to outscore Lillard, it is McCollum. He is the only player other than Lillard for Blazers to average in the 20s this season.

Rebounds Per Game: 4.5
Assists Per Game: 3.8
Steals Per Game: 0.8

Game-changes from Blazers:

Carmelo Anthony: The superstar and the future Hall of Famer. He can be an absolute astute inclusion in your Dream11 team.
Hassan Whiteside: His two-way approach is what makes him an absolute must-have here.

Marcus Morris: The former Boston Celtics small forward is now plying his trade with the Knicks, where he has become the leading scorer for the team. The 30-year-old has scored at around 20 points per game in the last 10 matches.

Points Per Game: 18.6

Assists Per Game: 1.3
Steals Per Game: 0.6
