NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Mavs: The Doncic Show
Having Luka Doncic is like having two players at the same time. He can score at a high clip, he can rebound the ball, he can pass the ball, and he can play some defense too. He has carried the Mavs franchise to new heights after the retirement of Dirk Nowitzki and he is bound to be in the MVP race. He propelled the team to the West Finals last season but to make such a run again will be even a tougher task in a tough Conference.
Back to the season, Spencer Dinwiddie has been efficient to begin the season whereas the acquisition of Christian Wood has helped as he can stretch the floor and also provide consistent rebounding and inside scoring. Tim Hardaway Jr. has been injured but when he plays, he gives great scoring from the bench. Maxi Kleber remains a factor and alongside Dorian Finney-Smith and Reggie Bullock forms a firm defensive trio. How will the team respond in the upcoming days after playing too many close games?
Thunder:Young and promising
It is a shame that the much-anticipated arrival of the rookie wonder Chet Holmgren has been sidelined for the season. To make matters worse, all-around sophomore Josh Giddey has also been sidelined for some time, but he is expected to make a quick return. Once again, the offense is largely dependent upon the talent of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who has once again put a show on the scoring. With him in the lineup, the Thunder at least is able to keep the ante up on both ends even if they are unable to string together consistency.
Tre Mann is rediscovering his shooting touch whereas Lugeuntz Dort’s shooting woes have become a concern. Aaron Wiggins has done a decent job filling in for Giddey whereas Darius Bazley gives toughness off the bench. Aleksej Pokusevski has been inconsistent but can give solid bench minutes whereas Jeremiah Earl-Robinson hasn’t done enough on offense as the starting big Forward. Mike Muscala and Kenrich Williams give decent frontline depth.

DAL vs OKC DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS
- Darius Bazley(OKC): Simmons had 9 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks in the last game. Bazley has been solid off-the-bench mainly as a rebounder. I believe he will be in 7-11 points and 5-9 rebounds range.
- Tim Hardaway Jr.(DAL): Tim had 18 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist in the last game. Tim has been an amazing isolation scorer for years now but his injuries have hampered him. I believe he will be in 12-17 points range here.
- Maxi Kleber(DAL): Kleber had 15 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist in the last game. Big Forward Maxi continues to supply quality defense and hustle off the bench. I believe he will be in 7-11 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 1-2 blocks range.
- Reggie Bullock(DAL): Bullock had 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 block in the last game. Reggie can knock down the long ball while being a strong defender. I believe he will be in 7-11 points and 3-5 rebounds range.

- Jeremiah Earl-Robinson(OKC): Jeremiah had 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists in the last game. More is expected out of Jeremiah who remains inconsistent. I believe he will be in 5-8 points and 3-5 rebounds range.
- Aleksej Pokusevski(OKC): Aleksej had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block in the last game. Center Aleksej has been a decent presence off the bench. I believe he will be in 8-13 points an 3-5 rebounds range.
