CLE vs PHI Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers

CLE vs PHI Dream11: The NBA Preseason is all about finding the final combinations and about roster cuts. Well, much of the set-up is almost in play for most teams and at best, preseason is about which a couple of players will make the final cut and who will the team cut. The main rotations will largely remain unaffected barring a few minutes here and there. It is like a scrimmage and in this scrimmage, Cleveland Cavaliers will take on the Philadelphia 76ers.

This is the second time these two will meet in five days and in their last meeting, the 76ers plucked a close 113:112 win as Tyrese Maxey stacked up 21 points. Donovan Mitchell had a solid outing but the Cavaliers won’t sweat the result at all as their roster looks set for a deep Playoffs run.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Cavs: They are upgraded

While last season, the Cavs did a great job on the defensive end using their four-bigs lineup with Mobley and Jarrett Allen as Centers and Lauri Marrkanen as the stretch-four, they missed having a productive off-guard. Darius Garland was the major shot-creator and was often in a lonely island, overburden with ball-handling duties. The Cavs found a perfect solution; bring in Donovan Mitchell. Someone who can allow Garland to be both a ball-handler and also play off-the-ball. Isaac Okoro can be the defensive stopper while the bench looks deep with Raul Neto, Caris LeVert and Kevin Love, but at some point, they will need Ricky Rubio.

Sixers: Locked and loaded

With James Harden at the helm, there is no shortage of crisp passes and long-range shooting, and with Embiid in the middle, you will keep multiple defenders busy. Therefore, these two will manufacture a ton of open looks again and with another shot-creator Tyrese Maxey, the ceiling for the 76ers’ offense looks high. Tobias Harris and PJ Tucker as the two Forwards ensure tough defense and Harris just needs to hit his open shots. The bench seems upgraded with the arrival of De’Anthony Melton and Montrezl Harrell. Can Embiid and Harden remain healthy for most parts?

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks

Tyrese Maxey(PHI)
Maxey has already inserted two 20 points outings in a few minutes and keeps on elevating his game with each step. He can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario. .

Darius Garland(CLE)
Garland ran the Cleveland show well last season and this time around, he will have a big help in the form of Donovan Mitchell.

James Harden(PHI)
Harden remains an elite playmaker but yes, he did lose a bit of the fizz on his shooting last season, which the 76ers can live with as they have Maxey to share the load.

Donovan Mitchell(CLE)
Donovan knows how to get it done on the offensive end and is one of the most creative players, but will he finally be able to make a deep Playoffs run?

Joel Embiid(PHI)
Joel can heap a lot of pain in the paint and also has a dependable mid-range stroke, with the ability to hit the long ball. He is also one of the best defenders and can get big on the rebounds.

Jarrett Allen(CLE)
Jarrett is an elite rebounder and defender, who can also catch lobs. Will he be healthy enough for a deep run? He is a vital part of the team.
