In almost all the parameters we considered above, Warriors have racked up better numbers this season. But it doesn’t put Raptors behind Warriors by any means. In fact, most of the Warriors’ offensive work was done by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant in the regular season, while Raptors have pints from the bench as well.

2019 Playoff stats:

Raptors | Warriors

The above stats show that Golden State Warriors are dominating the stats, which means selecting their players could fetch all the Dream11 fantasy players some crucial points.

Players to watch out for: (Captain options)

Kawhi Leonard recorded 27 PTS, 17 REB, 7 AST in the @Raptors Game 6 win. The last player with that many points, rebounds, and assists in a #NBAPlayoffs series-clinching win was Michael Jordan (38 PTS, 19 REB, 7 AST) in 1991. pic.twitter.com/IVXpZI9UAZ

Kawhi Leonard – Even in his short stay in Toronto, Kawhi Leonard is already a legend. His impact in the playoffs is as clear as the day from the fact that he is already the player with the most points in the playoffs for Raptors. It’s incredible as this is his first season in North, and the finals are yet to start.

It’s clear that between Warriors and their one more glorious chapter, stands the 2015 NBA finals MVP.

Talk about offense the defense, he is a two-way player, two-times NBA defensive player of the player.

Kawhi’s Numbers:

Points Per Game:
Regular Season – 26.6 (Seventh best amongst all players this season)
Playoffs (2019) – 31.2 (3rd best in the playoffs)
Against Milwaukee Bucks – 37.0
Assists Per Game:
Regular Season – 3.3 (87th best on the list)
Playoffs (2019) – 3.8 (29th best in the playoffs)
Against Milwaukee Bucks – 4.0
Rebounds Per Game:
Regular Season – 7.3 (50th best on the list)
Playoffs (2019) – 8.8 (13th best)

Kawhi Leonard – Dream11 Points earned in the last five games: 63.9, 61.9, 44.9, 58.3, 44.6

While in the last five games his numbers read:
Points: 27, 35, 19, 36, 31
Rebounds: 17, 7, 7, 9, 8, 9
Assists: 7, 9, 1, 5, 5, 2

Raptors’ X-Factor – The unsung hero of Raptors’ playoff win over Milwaukee Bucks was Fred VanVleet.

In the last two games, he made the difference from the bench. He went 7-of-9 in Game-5 from the 3 points range, and 4-5 in Game-6. He has a value of just 6.5 points and could be handy for your Dream11 NBA fantasy team.

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Golden State Warriors:
Stephen Curry – Kevin Durant‘s injury forced Stephen Curry to take the reins of this team once again, and now people and the NBA pundits have gone to the extent that perhaps Warriors are better off with Durant. For reasons that Curry is laying unbelievably well, like a candidate for the finals MVP.

Stephen Curry’s numbers:

Points Per Game:
Regular Season – 27.3 (6th best this season)
Playoffs (2019) – 27.3 (5th best in the playoffs)
Against Toronto Raptors – 25.0
Assists Per Game:
Regular Season – 5.2 (37th best amongst all players this season)
Playoffs (2019) – 5.6 (13th best in the playoffs)
Against Portland Trail Blazers – 5.7

Rebounds: 13, 6, 8, 6, 5
Assists: 11, 3, 8, 7, 4

Warriors’ X-Factor – It’s Draymond Green. One of the most versatile players, and perhaps one of the best defensive players of all time, Green will be key inside the paint when the Raptors have the possession. He will bring the points into the game as well.
