Damian Lillard
PPG: 29.6
APG: 8.0
RPG: 4.4
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 3.3
PFP: 45(Projected Fantasy Points)
Dame Dolla has done a praiseworthy job of carrying the Trailblazers all season long and has more than made up for the absence of C.J. McCollum. His scoring and playmaking abilities have enabled Portland to be one of the most potent offenses in the league and he can even be considered as a contender for the MVP award. Dame is also a lucrative choice as a Dream11 NBA Super-Player.

LeBron James
PPG: 25.6
RPG: 8.1
APG: 8.0
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 3.9
PFP: 41
LBJ has continued to be one of the most dominating players in the league and even eclipsing the age of 36, he has looked younger than ever. He has led the team well without Anthony Davis to anchor both ends, and his contributions have reflected in his squad’s record despite two losses in a row.

Gary Trent Jr.
PPG: 15.3
RPG: 2.1
TPG: 0.7
PFP: 26
Gary has had a fantastic season for his team and this has been his best season production-wise. He has done all in his power to provide offense without one of their marquee players in C.J. McCollum and he has been a difference-maker so far.

Enes Kanter
PPG: 11.7
RPG: 11.4
TPG: 1.1
PFP: 31
Enes has filled in well for the injured Nurkic and has shown that he is a starting-caliber player. He is averaging a double-double and in his last 5 games, he has put up averages of 12.0 PPG and 13.8 RPG.

LAL vs POR Dream11 Sleeper Picks

Montrezl Harrell: PPG: 13.8 RPG: 6.4 TPG: 1.2 PFP: 30
Harrell is a problematic player to defend in the paint and despite being undersized at C position, he can play winning basketball. He is averaging 17.4 PPG and 7 RPG in the last 5 games.

Carmelo Anthony: PPG: 13.4 RPG: 3.5 TPG: 1.2 PFP: 24
Melo has done well in his bench role for the Trailblazers and has come up clutch off the bench too. His experience allows him to carve ways for scoring and he has finally shown that he can be effective as a bench player and accept the role.

Anfernee Simmons: PPG: 8.7 RPG: 2.5 TPG: 0.8 PFP: 15
Derrick Jones had 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 blocks in his last outing.
