BKN vs UTA Dream11 Match Prediction
Jazz will definitely have an upper hand over the depleted Brooklyn Nets. In absence of Dinwiddie and now Kevin Durant, Nets will have to depend a lot upon Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris, and Caris Levert. Jazz has been bolstered in terms of scoring as Bojan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson have had an offensive impact and have given a huge helping hand to Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. Rudy Gobert has made life in paint tough for the opponents and will continue to be a constant defensive presence for the Utah Jazz. Utah Jazz may sneak a game on the road against a Kevin Durant free Brooklyn Nets, but watch out for Kyrie to unload his arsenal.
Brooklyn Nets vs Utah Jazz, Key Players:
Kyrie Irving
PPG: 26.8
RPG: 5.2
APG: 6.3
Uncle Drew is back and he is back in full flare. He has shared scoring duties with Durant and has had a huge impact on the offense so far. Now with Durant out, he will have an even bigger responsibility of providing quality offense to the Brooklyn Nets. He is coming off 30 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in the close loss against the Washington Wizards. These numbers make him an automatic pick in this Dream11 Fantasy basketball match-up.
Rudy Gobert
PPG: 14.5
RPG: 13.7
BPG: 2.2
Rudy Gobert is one of the most intimidating defensive players in the League and his presence has helped Utah become the 8th best defensive team in terms of Points Allowed Per Game. He is coming off 7 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 1 assist outing in the win against the San Antonio Spurs. Gobert is a perennial presence on the defensive end and will be more than a handful for the Nets.
Mike Conley
PPG: 20.3
RPG: 4.3
APG: 5.0
Mike Conley has played a prominent role for the Utah Jazz and has picked up his scoring as Mitchell has struggled to shoot efficiently from the field. Mike has helped Utah on the offensive and defensive end, resulting in the current winning record in the Association. He registered 15 points, 4 assists, and 1 steal. Jazz will welcome such contributions on a regular basis and bolster the Guard position for them.
Donovan Mitchell
PPG: 20.2
RPG: 3.5
APG: 5.3
Donovan has had a tough time shooting the ball this year, only shooting 37% from the field, but in the last two games, he has come around and is shooting at a rate of 40% in the last two games. He lodged 22 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds. Jazz will look for more production from Donovan and hope that he replicates last season’s production with similar efficiency.
Sleeper picks:
Jordan Clarkson: Jordan has played like a Sixth Man of the Year candidate, he has been effective within a limited time. He is averaging 15.5 PPG within 22.5 MPG. He registered 18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in the win against the Spurs.
Joe Harris: The Shooting Guard has been effective for the Nets and is the third leading scorer. He is averaging 13.9 PPG and 4.1 RPG. He lodged 16 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals in the close game against the Wizards.
Bojan Bogdanovic: Bojan plays an integral role as the Forward for the Jazz and is averaging 14.0 PPG and 3.5 RPG in the season. He is coming off a spectacular outing against the Spurs, registering 28 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, and 1 steal.
Note– Jarrett Allen leads Brooklyn Nets in rebounds and blocks with 10.7 RPG and 1.7 BPG. Jarrett Allen has received more minutes than the starting Center DeAndre Jordan.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot registered 14 points and 4 rebounds in the close loss against the Washington Wizards.
Joe Ingles posted 13 points and 7 rebounds in the win against the San Antonio Spurs.
