Nuggets vs Pelicans Fantasy NBA: The Denver Nuggets will enter the contest after beating the Bulls in an Overtime contest behind 34 points performances by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. On the other, the New Orleans Pelicans will come in the battle after losing to the Trailblazers despite a 26 points effort by Zion Williamson. More details about DEN vs NOP Dream11 will be related here.
Nuggets’ season: Denver began the season on a slow note but has managed to muster some wins since February courtesy of some elite play by Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter, and Jamal Murray. They are in great shape as Michael has hit strides for a couple of months and the roster has come along well recently.
Pelicans’ season: Pelicans harbor one of the most exciting players in the league, Zion Williamson. Williamson and Brandon Ingram form a terrific pair in the Forward spots but they still lack the talent around them to compete at the highest level. New Orleans has a losing record and they have a long road ahead if they want to make the playoffs.

DEN vs NOP Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Nikola Jokic
PPG: 27.0
RPG: 11.2
APG: 8.6
SPG: 1.6
TPG: 3.1
PFP(Projected Fantasy Points): 59
Jokic has had a record-breaking season and he is the engine that keeps the Nuggets ticking. His all-around offensive abilities allow him to be one of the most potent weapons and he is surely having an MVP-like campaign. Jokic is an excellent pick-up as the Super Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Zion Williamson
PPG: 25.6
RPG: 7.0
APG: 3.5
TPG: 2.5
PFP: 46
Zion’s body and flexibility aid him to terrorize his opponents and he is a nightmare to defend. He is dominating teams in only his second year and he can be a future MVP if he develops in the current trajectory. Williamson has scored 20+ points in 19 games in a row.
Brandon Ingram
PPG: 23.8
RPG: 5.1
APG: 4.7
TPG: 2.4
PFP: 39
Ingram is a wiry player along with a great shooting touch on multiple sides of the floor. Ingram has formed one of the most formidable duos with Zion Williamson and he is one of the reasons why the Pelicans can’t be taken lightly as a squad.
Jamal Murray
PPG: 21.1
APG: 4.7
RPG: 4.0
SPG: 1.3
TPG: 2.3
PFP: 38
Jamal has shown huge improvements on the offensive side of the floor and has also improved defensively. Murray has seen his scoring down in comparison to February, but he has also averaged 1.9 SPG this month and has gathered 8 steals in the last 2 games.
DEN vs NOP Dream11 Sleeper Picks
Michael Porter Jr.:Â Â PPG: 15.8Â Â RPG: 7.3Â Â BPG: 1.0Â Â TPG: 1.1Â Â PFP: 40
Porter’s career has also been dampened by injuries but he has shown huge promises as a young player. He still has a lot of time left and barring injuries, he can become an elite SF. He has been in red hot form this month, averaging 20.4 PPG and 9.6 RPG.
Steven Adams:Â PPG: 8.1Â Â RPG: 9.1Â Â TPG: 1.6Â Â PFP: 26
Adams hasn’t profited off much playing with Lonzo, as he did with Westbrook but he is a heart and hustle guy who gives his all on the floor. He has gathered 10+ rebounds 4 times this month.
Will Barton:Â PPG: 12.8Â Â RPG: 4.1Â Â APG: 3.2Â Â TPG: 1.7Â Â PFP: 26
Barton is a wiry two-way player who has given a lot of substance to his squad. He has been phenomenal since March began, averaging 18.4 PPG and 5.1 RPG.
Josh Hart:Â PPG: 9.2Â Â RPG: 7.4Â Â PFP: 20
