PHX vs DAL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks

PHX vs DAL Dream11: Hello NBA fans, the Playoffs needle is seesawing and three of the four series are tied now. What does this mean? It means that we are heading for a climactic finish and can see some glorious Game 7 finishes. Only the Warriors have managed a big advantage, taking a three-one lead over the Grizzlies. While except Warriors, the Celtics, and the Bucks, at the time of writing, no team has been able to win away from home so far in the Second Round. In this game, the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks will go up against each other in another tied affair.

The Mavericks once again shut down the Suns and managed a 111:101 win as Luka Doncic managed 26 points and Dorian Finney-Smith clicked home eight triples. Chris Paul’s rhythm has been off throughout the series while Mikal Bridges hasn’t been that aggressive offensively. Can the Suns make a turnaround as the series comes back to their home floor?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Home is the safe space? Can the Mavs turn the tables again?

In the last two games, the Suns have committed 17 turnovers in each of the affairs, and they have been known to not cough up possessions. The Dallas defense is a different flavor on the home floor and in the last two games, Phoenix has scored just 101 and 94 points, which followed two 120+ points nights at home. See, how big is the home-floor advantage during the Playoffs!

And due to the home-court advantage where the Suns will play two of their next three battles at home, they will still be considered as favorites and as we head into the last half of the series, there are concerns for the fans that Mavs may have found their groove finally. It is interesting to note that Dorian Finney-Smith has outscored Mikal Bridges in 75% of the games while Chris Paul has committed a ton of turnovers, already four more than he did against the Pelicans in one fewer game while dishing around half of the assists compared to the last series.

For the Mavs, Maxi Kleber has been a huge factor off the bench and his ability to score and rebound has been helping the team in sustaining rhythm. Brunson did much better on the home floor but Spencer Dinwiddie has continued to struggle. Still, the bulk of the production relies upon the wonderboy Luka Doncic, who has been kept at bay shooting-percentage wise in the last two games, but his teammates and defense have come through.

Fantasy-related tips

Chris Paul’s stocks have fallen in the series while Devin Booker continues to be a reliable option. Mikal Bridges has been rather so-so but Deandre Ayton has been a consistent option. Cameron Johnson and Jae Crowder continue to be effective fantasy options while JaVale McGee deals a fair bit of damage in a limited time. 

For the Mavs, Luka Doncic remains the shining light while Dorian Finney-Smith recovered his stock on the home floor. So did Brunson while Kleber has continued from where he left off versus the Jazz and continues to be a dependable fantasy option. Reggie Bullock hasn’t been as inconsistent and the same goes for Spencer Dinwiddie. Powell has fallen off the radar while Bertans can surprise with his three-point shooting.

Luka Doncic(DAL)
Points: 26
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 11
Steals: 03
Luka’s efficiency is down in the last couple of games but he continues to harness big-time rebounding and playmaking. I believe he will be in 27-33 points, 6-10 rebounds, and 6-9 assists range. He can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 48-67

Chris Paul(PHX)
Points: 05
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 07
Steals: 01
Paul has not been at his best in the last three games as the Mavs defense has produced multiple headaches for him and the guard has averaged below 6 assists. However, I expect a bounce back and him being in 14-21 points, 6-11 assists, and 4-7 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 26-39

Jalen Brunson (DAL)
Points: 18
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 04
Jalen made 7 of his 17 shots in Game 4 and he has been rather better at home but he will need to pull through in the road scenario where he has struggled in the series. I expect a 16-23 points and 4-6 rebounds/assists range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-32

Devin Booker(PHX)
Points: 35

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 40-55

Dorian Finney-Smith(DAL)
Points: 24
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 01

PHX vs DAL DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

• Mikal Bridges(PHX) had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal in the last game. Wing Bridges has been exerting too much defensive pressure due to which his offense has been a bit off. I expect a 13-18 points and 4-7 rebounds range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 19-33
• Spencer Dinwiddie(DAL) had 10 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds in the last game. Dinwiddie shot just 3/10 in the last game and has glaring inconsistencies. I believe he will be in 8-12 points and 4-6 assists range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-23
• Reggie Bullock(DAL) had 7 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds in the last game. Reggie has been up-and-down shooting-wise but did make two of his five attempts from three in the last game. I expect a 5-11 points and 3-6 rebounds range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 12-24
• Jae Crowder(PHX) had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. Power Forward Crowder continues to be a strong defender and ha been a factor offensively too. I believe he will be in 9-15 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-32
• Maxi Kleber(DAL) had 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block in the last game. Forward Kleber has been a big-time scoring factor and rebounder. I believe he will be in 10-15 points and 4-8 rebounds range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 14-20
• Cameron Johnson(PHX) had 11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists in the last game. Johnson clicked on three of his six triple attempts in the last game and provides quality minutes. I expect him to be in 12-16 points and 3-5 rebounds range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-29
• Davis Bertans(DAL) had 12 points, 1 rebound in the last game. Davis made four of his six three-point attempts. I believe he will be in 3-12 points range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 4-12

  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 9-16
• JaVale McGee(PHX) had 7 points, 6 rebounds in the last game. McGee has a high level of impact in limited minutes. I believe he will be in 6-10 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
