PHX vs POR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Basketball Tips, Starting Five, Team Details, 14 October

NBA Preseason is about finalizing a few remaining spots for rosters and provide much-needed practice time to players before the regular season. In this match, Phoenix Suns battle it out versus the Portland Trailblazers. More about PHX vs POR Dream11 will be given below.

PHX vs POR Dream11 Prediction

Phoenix Suns come into the season after reaching the Finals just three-four months. Surely the team is going to enter with a lot of confidence. However, the road might have become trickier with the Lakers acquiring Westbrook and with the Nuggets and Clippers’ talent. How will the Suns fare this season? The team has fared well in the preseason and Jalen Smith has shown some new chops.

Trailblazers’ lack of Playoffs success remains an enigma because of the talent level. However, it is the toughness of the west that makes them look average. The team has a dynamic backcourt of Lillard and McCollum. Nurkic is in the prime form while the acquisition of Larry Nance gives them a bolstered frontcourt. How will the team fare this season? If the playoffs’ success evades, will this be the last season that Lillard and McCollum play together?
