Nuggets vs Celtics Fantasy NBA: Denver Nuggets will enter the game after beating the Spurs rallying around a 26 points triple-double by Nikola Jokic. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics come into the battle after beating the Timberwolves in Overtime behind a mind-boggling 53 points takeover by Jayson Tatum. More details about DEN vs BOS Dream11 will be given here.
Nuggets’ season: Denver has played some terrific basketball since March mostly because Nikola Jokic, their ace is now getting assistance from young Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray. Nuggets look in terrific form and have a strong defensive and unit from Guard to Center spot. They acquired Aaron Gordon during the trade deadline and bolstered their Forward position. They are in the 4th spot in the NBA Standings for Western Conference and can pose a threat to elite teams during NBA Playoffs.
Celtics’ season: Celtics have had a tough season and their record is underwhelming and doesn’t align the offensive and defensive talents they have in the team. Boston is lacking the energy of the preceding years and is barely hanging on to their 7th spot in the Eastern Conference. It is shocking that they are doing this poorly despite having 3 consistent scorers in Tatum, Brown, and Walker.

Nikola Jokic
PPG: 26.3
RPG: 10.9
APG: 8.8
SPG: 1.5
TPG: 3.2
PFP(Projected Fantasy Points): 48
Jokic has revolutionized the Center position and his all-around chops have enabled him to lead Nuggets in PPG, RPG, APG, and SPG. He has gotten a great deal of help from his team since February and now he doesn’t have to score 30-40 points every night for his team to be effective, decreasing the load on him. Jokic is an excellent pick-up as the Super Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Jayson Tatum
PPG: 25.7
RPG: 7.0
APG: 4.5
SPG: 1.3
TPG: 2.6
PFP: 43
The Forward for the Celtics is one of the most promising players in the league and he has the potential to become the best at his position. Apart from scoring, Jayson is also a great rebounder and passer. He is averaging 31.2 PPG for the last 5 games, which includes a 53 points effort against Minnesota.
Michael Porter Jr.:
PPG: 17.1
RPG: 7.6
TPG: 1.1

Jaylen Brown
PPG: 24.3
RPG: 5.7
APG: 3.5
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 2.8
PFP: 42
Jaylen has become a potent scorer like Jayson Tatum and has been improving each season. Brown forms one of the most formidable duos with Jayson Tatum but the Celtics need more from them at the defensive end too.

Marcus Smart: PPG: 13.4 RPG: 5.6 APG: 3.1 SPG: 1.5 TPG: 1.8 PFP: 39
