The Clippers have similar dreams to the Nets and perhaps they can claim to have a better defensive unit than the Nets, but at the end of the day, the Nets have amassed incredible talent, the type of talent that can surpass various limitations and pulverize the opponents.

James Harden
PPG: 24.4
APG: 11.3
RPG: 7.2
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 4.1
Projected Fantasy Points: 50
To say that James Harden has taken his offensive game to another level sounds absurd as he has already been an MVP of the League, but he has indeed done so by leading the league in assists, which indicates that his talent knows no bounds. Harden was incredible in the win against the Lakers, collecting 23 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block. James is a terrific selection as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA set-up.

APG: 5.0
SPG: 1.7
TPG: 1.8

The Claw continues to impress with his offensive and defensive prowess, having another MVP-like season.

Paul George
PPG: 23.9
RPG: 6.2

Paul George has improved his play this season compared to the last one which means that he has a point to prove.

PPG: 27.7
APG: 5.6
RPG: 4.7
SPG: 1.0

To average between 25-30 PPG is incredible, but to do the same at the guard position with a 53% FG is unheard of but that is exactly what Kyrie has done. Kyrie has shown all sorts of dribbling skills this season and has dominated games after games. He had a rare tough shooting night in the win against the Lakers, notching 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal.

Lou Williams: Williams is averaging 12.6 PPG and 3.9 APG. Sweet Lou has helped the Clippers for multiple seasons now and continues to be instant offense off the bench. He compiled 19 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in the win against the Utah Jazz. Projected Fantasy Points: 24
