DEN vs POR Dream11,NBA Fantasy, Nuggets vs Trailblazers, 24 February

Nuggets vs Trailblazers Fantasy NBA: Denver Nuggets will enter the game after losing to the Atlanta Hawks despite a 30 points outing by Jamal Murray. Meanwhile the Portland Trailblazers after a loss to the Phoenix Suns behind a 24 points effort by Damian Lillard. More information about DEN vs POR Dream11 fixture will be given here.

Nuggets’ season: Denver has not been able to play to their top-level and their defense has disappeared during many junctures. Jamal Murray has taken the mantle to aid his teammate Nikola Jokic in garnering some wins but the Nuggets don’t look like the well-oiled machine as they were during the last season.

Trailblazers’ season: Despite facing two losses in a row, Portland has performed better than the last season and has held their own even without a talent like C.J. McCollum. Gary Trent, Enes Kanter, and Carmelo Anthony have turned up the heat offensively but the bench looks a little thin right now on the majority of positions.

The Nuggets are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league and they have faced some difficulties on the defensive end. These two teams will field an incredible PG match-up in Jamal Murray and Damian Lillard, while Enes Kanter will have his work cut out against Nikola Jokic. Jokic has been struggling from the field a little since the last 3 games but has left his impact in other areas. This game can be a high-scoring one considering that two highly offensive-minded teams will play against each other.
