BKN vs UTA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Brooklyn Nets vs Utah Jazz

BKN vs UTA Dream11: The NBA has been moving steadily towards the Playoffs window and this is a tricky area as some teams have improved over the season and have played some of their best basketball recently. Thus engaging in fantasy scenarios becomes tricky as we have to take into account various dynamics are in play and as the season closes in, some players have some of their best performances in the store. Anyway, let us jump into the game between the Utah Jazz and the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets have finally improved their play and it is no accident that the win count has been on the rise since Kevin Durant has been back. They are still not close to the sixth spot which can help the team avoid the Play-in tournament that is just a few weeks away. There is no doubt that at the moment, the Nets seem to be heading for an eighth spot finish.

On the other hand, the Utah Jazz has bigger ambition and Utah has certainly recovered after a paltry return during January, the Jazz has turned around the season with superb play. However, the expectations have been high from the team for two seasons and although they may not be figuring in the top five contenders, they can surprise during the Playoffs.

Host: Brooklyn Nets
Visitors: Utah Jazz
Match Timing: 22 March, @ 05:00 AM
Venue: Barclays Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Jazz crushed the Knicks 108:93 and a strong defensive effort helped them after they fielded a weakened squad due to injuries. Mitchell put up 36 points to lead the effort.

The Jazz’s roster balance has been disturbed ever since the injury to Bojan Bogdanovic and the team has to make do with some “hero ball” from Clarkson and Mitchell. One another factor that still makes the Jazz formidable is the strong defense of Gobert and his big-time rebounding and inside scoring. Meanwhile, although Royce O’Neale is not an assertive offensive player, he does supply more than decent defense. Mike Conley missed the last game too and there is no doubt that the team will need Conley and Bogdanovic during the Playoffs because, unlike Regular Season, they will be facing a more well-oiled squad. Defensively, the Jazz has improved compared to earlier, and with the way things are going, you can’t write off Jazz.

The Nets enter the game after beating the Trail Blazers 128:123 as Durant poured in 38 points and the team came through without Kyrie Irving

Kevin Durant has done a brilliant job as usual and when he had been gone, the Nets had looked like bottom teams such as the Rockets, Pacers, Magic, etc. But when he is playing, the Nets look like a mid-tier Playoffs team at least. Durant’s ability to compile wins even without Kyrie Irving and James Harden(now traded) earlier showcases that he is one of the best leaders in the league. This is why even if the Nets may finish at the eighth spot and have to crack the Play-in tournament, you can’t take Durant lightly because he can surely lift the team past some of the more formidable squads. And when you think that a starting five of Irving, Simmons, Seth Curry, Durant, and Drummond/Aldridge play together, there is indeed a lot of promise.
