Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Fantasy NBA: The Golden State Warriors will enter the game after losing to the Brooklyn Nets despite a 27 points outing by Stephen Curry. On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers also lost their game against the Clippers, where they saw contributions from Darius Garland, Collin Sexton, and Cedi Osman, each of them lodged 20 points or more.
The Warriors are not the same team that went to multiple NBA Finals in the preceding years. The Warriors have struggled to gain rhythm this season in part because they are missing their star Shooting Guard Klay Thompson and rely too much upon Stephen Curry to produce offense on a constant basis. The Warriors are just one game above the .500 mark and they have been struggling to even be in the Playoffs picture this season.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost 7 games in a row and are in the rebuilding phase. They don’t have a playoff-contending team right now and it will be a long season for the team and its fans. The Cavaliers do have one of the best big men in Andre Drummond and an emerging guard in Collin Sexton, but they will be looking at this season as an opportunity to nurture their young players. More information about GSW vs CLE Dream11 game will be related here in detail.

The Cleveland Cavaliers had a rough couple of weeks and one of the main causes of their poor performance has been Larry Nance being troubled with an injury and not participating. The Warriors may be able to snag a win over the Cavaliers since they are looking out of sorts and are unable to be consistent on both ends of the floor. Cavs will need to shut down Stephen Curry or else this battle will become only more challenging. The Warriors will have the advantage on multiple positions over the Cavs but one can’t take any NBA team lightly and on any given night, even the worst teams can turn up huge performances in professional basketball. The Warriors are 9th in the NBA standings for Western Conference and will surely love to make the playoffs this season, which means moving a spot up. This game features the talent of Stephen Curry which makes it a must-watch on NBA live stream or NBA streams.
NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks:
Stephen Curry
PPG: 29.9
APG: 5.9
RPG: 5.4
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 3.3
Projected Fantasy Points: 46
Steph Curry supplements the majority of ammo on the offensive end for the Warriors and has replicated performances from his MVP season which implies that he has recovered from his injury and continues to be one of the best Point Guards in the League. He is coming off 27 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds in the loss against the Brooklyn Nets. Curry can prove to be an excellent pick as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Collin Sexton
PPG: 22.8
APG: 4.3
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 2.5
Projected Fantasy Points: 37
Collin has the potential to become an all-star guard but there is a long way to go as a player for the 22-year-old. He has shown terrific talent scoring the ball but still has to learn how to become a floor general and efficient distributor, though time is certainly on his side. Sexton bagged 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in the loss against the Clippers.
Kelly Oubre Jr.
PPG: 13.9
RPG: 5.9
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 1.4

Jarrett Allen
PPG: 12.2
RPG: 8.8
BPG: 1.7
TPG: 1.5
Projected Fantasy Points: 28
Allen has been exceptional at the Center position for the Cavs and has given them great production from that position. He has been able to acquire minutes at the Center spot despite the starting player Andre Drummond and has given the Cavaliers confidence if they have to trade Andre. He is coming off 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists outing in the loss against the Clippers.
Sleeper Picks:
Darius Garland: Garland is averaging 15.6 PPG and 5.4 APG. The sophomore guard is showing amazing promise and has become a constant performer at the two-guard position for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is coming off 20 points, 6 assists, 1 rebound, and 2 steals outing in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Projected Fantasy Points: 28
Andrew Wiggins: Wiggins is averaging 17.6 PPG, 4.7 RPG, and 1.4 BPG. Wiggins has shared secondary offensive duties with Kelly Oubre in the recent games and has given the Warriors decent production at the SF position.

Cedi Osman: The Turkish SF is averaging 11.0 PPG and 3.1 RPG. The SF has struggled to shoot the ball but is still a decent offensive player who just needs more confidence to get back in his groove. Cedi had a great night against the Clippers, posting 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in the loss. Projected Fantasy Points: 15
Eric Paschall is averaging 9.8 PPG and 3.0 RPG for the Warriors. Projected Fantasy Points: 12

Note
Fantasy Points are the total number of points players amass based upon points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, and turnovers. Following is the table for the categories and their points value
Category | Point Value |
Point | 1 |
Assist | 1.5 |
Rebound | 1.2 |
Steal | 3 |
Block | 3 |
Turnovers | -1 |
For example, if a player has 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers, then the total value will be 26 (10+5*1.2+4*1.5+1*3+1*3-2*1). A Super-Player gets two times increase in the total fantasy points, so if the Player gets 20 points then it will be doubled to 40. In the case of Pro-Player, he gets a 1.5 increase, which means if a player gets 20 points then the total becomes 35. Projected Fantasy Points given here are based upon season averages and prediction analysis.
