BKN vs MEM Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies

BKN vs MEM Dream11: Before we begin talking about this game, I’d like to reflect on the turbulent NBA season. Last season, the COVID-19 protocols took a toll but this season, they are on whole another level as cases mount up. With the Omicron surge, teams have been aggressive in terms of signing ten-day deal players and filling up the rosters. Also, whatever little blessing in disguise here comes from the fact that many deep reserves and players who are in the free agency have shown that they have as much right as any other player to belong in this league.

Let us now talk about this game keeping the above pointers in mind. Here, the Brooklyn Nets will spar against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both teams have played some wonderful basketball this season and although Nets’ success is not surprising, the Grizzlies elevated their play during December when their main player Ja Morant went down, which resulted in players like Bane and Jackson Jr. picking up their offensive games.

The Nets have lost the last two games and the loss against the 76ers is understandable but losing to a short-handed Clippers not so much as the much-heralded Nets defense has fallen apart twice in a row. But then in a long NBA season, such incidents are rather commonplace and I am sure players like Harden and Durant have seen enough of this league to figure a way out of the two-game skid.

The Grizzlies are playing some of the best basketball in the Franchise’s history right now. The team has won four in a row, including a win against the formidable Suns and the Memphis outfit looks like it is on a mission. Of course, it is more than the defense and the second-half improvements that have resulted in the current results, the Grizzlies are surely making the fanbase proud.

Host: Brooklyn Nets
Visitors: Philadelphia 76ers

NBA Projections, Stats, & Analysis

Nets: The best duo?
James Harden is having the best stretch of the season, he has scored 30+ points in the last four games while routinely handing over 10+ assists and grabbing 10+ rebounds. With another 30+ scorer like Durant, you get 60+ points or so from the two superstars these days along with quality rebounding and playmaking. This duo helps open up the shooting and driving lanes for players like Mills and Aldridge who can dip in a combined 26-32 points every now and then. Nic Claxton has also benefitted from the open spaces created by the two superstars, scoring 10+ regularly now. What is the concern then? A thin bench without Joe Harris and Kyrie Irving in the picture for most parts. A bench that earlier had Patty Mills as the platoon commander of the second unit, still, the Nets can’t be taken lightly with its duo of Durant and Harden who can seize momentum. Yes, they have lost two in a row but hey, they have 20+ wins and just around 10 losses, which is a great number.

Grizzlies: Watch out for this team
Memphis turned around the season in December and the improved defense and the ability to close games have given the Grizzlies a huge lift. A team like Hornets can learn from Memphis as Grizzlies were squandering 30+ points a quarter regularly just in November but now they are playing a much better brand of defense, not depending on the offense alone. The offensive side is full of terrific options, Bane can produce 20+, Morant has been clipping past 30 regularly these days. Jaren Jackson is more than a decent option while someone like Brandon Clarke can find a spark off the bench. With Steven Adams at the Center position, the team gets 3-4 hustle baskets every game, and the Grizzlies offense has versatile elements. Now, the team will await the return of Dillon Brooks, who can dip in 20 or so regularly as well while Melton who is also in COVID-19 protocols can eclipse 10 points mark regularly. Now, here, against the Nets, the Grizzlies defense will need to show up once again.

Where to watch NBA Live Score?

The lack of live streaming and telecast on channels such as MTV, VH1 and streaming services such as Voot and JIO TV, means only one thing, a need for a different platform. And that platform can be the NBA League Pass, through which you can acquire an annual subscription and forget about waiting for a channel to telecast the games and catch all the live games and also their full game-replays, for me, the NBA League Pass is truly a must for a die-hard fan. To get the scores, go to the official website of the NBA.
