DET vs ORL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic

DET vs ORL Dream11: Match-ups, it is all about the match-ups. Even in the three-point-heavy era, we have seen that still basketball is all about the match-ups. Who guards whom, what plays a team run, and how they create mismatches, is an important component of the game. That is why it is more than about the boxscore. Anyway, in terms of match-ups, the game between Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic will be an intriguing one.

The Detroit Pistons are in rebuild mode. During the last Draft, they got Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. They will utilize Cade Cunningham both as an off-guard and ball-handler and his ability to push the ball helps the matters. Can Saddiq Bey find more efficiency as a shooter?

The Magic is also a young and inexperienced team like the Detroit Pistons. However, they have managed to pull in Forwards with high potential and this can be a season of change. If things click, I see the Magic making up for wins in 30s. They can present a lot of size but the backcourt has to work well for them to have any big success.

Where will Pistons thrive?

The backcourt of Ivey and Cunningham holds a lot of promise but a lot will ride upon how they choose their shots. Cunningham can force the issue at times and because of that, the offense can fall apart. Ivey has the tendency to force things too so if two of your main guards are forcing the issue, the amount of open looks will either not be awarded or generated. This is why the Pistons struggled last season because they didn’t have a piercing backcourt.

Saddiq Bey can make the long ball but his efficiency will only be up if the backcourt is creating open spaces and helping to smoothen out the offense. On the defensive end, Ivey can help with his ability to be hard-nosed on that end. Cade will be up for a big defensive season while Bey will need to keep it up on the perimeter. Isaiah Stewart lacks help when defending inside and he can be a bit iffy from both ends at times. The real difference-maker can end up being Bojan Bogdanovic who can act as the stretch four. How will the Pistons find a more cohesive offense here? Will Bojan change the landscape as a threatening scorer? Will Killian Hayes develop further?

Magic really has an enticing Frontcourt

Amidst all the rebound, the Magic has found a strong player in the Forward position who can be up for a career year, and he is Wendell Carter Jr. His physical tools alongside his smooth footwork have allowed him to become a double-double threat. He can also play disciplined defense and can also guard the perimeter decently. Alongside him will be Franz Wagner, who has a lot of promise as a stretch-three/four. Paolo Banchero has turned heads with his amazing game but let us see how the rookie responds to the NBA defense.

In terms of backcourt, like the Pistons, the Magic also struggled to generate quality offense. For all his sharp vision and great techniques, Cole Anthony has had many tough shooting nights while Jalen Suggs still needs to hone some aspects to sustain a quality NBA offense. The backcourt should surely find more fluency if the Forward attack is to work. Overall, the Magic’s strength can lie in finishing inside and drawing fouls. Can Franz Wagner become more of a threat and will Wendell Carter break out?

Cole Anthony(ORL)
Anthony is a talented One-Guard who can perform difficult dribbles and also act as the leading playmaker as the primary ball-handler. I expect him to be 14-19 points, 6-9 assists, and 4-7 rebounds range. The Guard can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-41

Cade Cunningham(DET)

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-41

Wendell Carter Jr.(ORL)
Carter Jr. is a wiry Forward who can make amazing cuts off the ball, carve out space mostly inside, and also provide strong rebounding and defense. He has a developing isolation game and I believe he will be in 17-24 points, 9-15 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks/steals range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 31-42

Paolo is a superb Forward who has incredible hops and he can bring big changes to the current Magic set-up. I expect him to be in 14-19 points and 5-9 rebounds range.

Saddiq Bey(DET)
Bey can shoot the lights out and he can also play strongly on defense, however, his perimeter defense can be a bit rusty at times. I believe he will be in 18-25 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 26-36

Bojan Bogdanovic(DET)
Bojan can both shoot without a dribble and also create some isolation offense as the perimeter shooter and will have a big role in the shooting served Pistons. I believe he will be in 15-21 points and 5-8 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-31

DET vs ORL DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

• Chuma Okeke(ORL): Okeke has quick hands as a wiry Forward who can fill the lanes. I believe he will be in 8-14 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
• Cory Joseph(DET): Can Cory eke out any big role here?
• Terrence Ross(ORL): Ross fell out of rotation last season, will it be the same again? He does have above-average offensive capabilities.
