GSW vs DEN Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets

GSW vs DEN Dream11: COVID-19 protocols have eased recently but even that hasn’t stopped a flurry of players to go missing because the Omicron surge has taken the USA in its grasp. Now, the Golden State Warriors are missing Draymond Green, who is their two-way star but there is one great piece of news, Andrew Wiggins is available for this game. Now, the Warriors will meet the inconsistent Nuggets whose campaign took a hit when Michael Porter Jr. was ruled out for the season.

Now, I wasn’t worried about the Warriors’ chances when Poole and Wiggins went down but trust me, Draymond Green may be as important as the two combined. Now, Curry will be the sole consistent playmaker, putting more pressure on him and the superb screens of Green and his defense will be highly missed.

Nuggets are overly reliant on Nikola Jokic and this great player has been carrying them on his back all season long. He has had two 20+ points and 20+ rebounds games and even with such performances, his team hasn’t produced high-yields, perhaps Jokic needs to shoot better than 40% or so unlike last game, but come on! How much can he do, the defense is crowding him every game.

Host: Golden State Warriors
Visitors: Denver Nuggets
Match Timing: 29 December, @ 08:30 AM
Venue: Chase Center

NBA Projections, Stats, & Analysis

Warriors: How will they fare without Green?
Dray gives the team that doesn’t figure among stat-sheets. His leadership on both ends and his hustle have inspired even Curry to take it up a notch on defense. Now, when a positive with Wiggins returning is that the defensive aspect can be covered while he brings a ton of scoring but in terms of intangibles, Green is irreplaceable for the Warriors. Now, still, with Gary Payton, Curry, Wiggins, Juan Toscano, Looney, Bjelica, Porter, and Kuminga, the team can deploy shooting, cutting, even if the playmaking side has taken a significant hit with Green out.

Nuggets: Jokic can run out of gas like this
Jokic is the primary mover on the offense and that approach can hurt at times because the team lacks rebounding and he has to perform this job. Yes, there are perimeter shooters like Morris, Bones, Barton, Reed, Green, Gordon but still, it is Jokic whose presence opens up the more workable offense for the Denver outfit. What can happen is that the long season can take a ton of toll on Jokic with Murray and Porter out, so the Nuggets offense will have to figure out other ways to be more productive. More consistency from Barton, Morris, and Gordon can change the picture considerably.

Jokic has been on fire this month and some of his performances are among the best this season. The Center has grabbed 20+ rebounds for two straight games and is the only player to have two 20+ points and 20+ rebounds games throughout the season. For me, Jokic is the best candidate for Star-Player in the Dream11 NBA scene among all the players in the league.
