MIA vs DEN Dream 11 Prediction

The Summer League means different things for different players. Some players look to secure a place in the roster, others look to train for the season after having already played in the league for a while, and then there are mostly rookies and sophomores who use it as a training ground. Although the Summer League doesn’t feature top-tier players like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, etc., many of the players who do participate have a lot at stake and are professional-level talents. The coaches meanwhile see this as an opportunity to gauge which player fits into the main rosters so it is about analyzing the skillset of players than winning or losing. Hence, there can be times when coaches can sub in random players to test them, however, since we have highly talented players here, it does get heated.

MIA vs DEN Top Picks

1. Max Strus
Points: 27
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 01
Strus was a part of the Miami outfit last season and showed in the first game against the Warriors why he had his spot. He is a Forward who has a pristine shooting form and moves well without the ball. Strus is a candidate as the Super-Player in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball scenario.

2. Markus Howard
Yet to play
Howard is an excellent Point Guard who has a lot of pep in his step. He brings a lot along with his shooting game and uses smooth handles to create separation and ring in some shots. That is why he can be chosen as a Pro-Player in the Dream 11 Fantasy scenario.

3. Omer Yurtseven
Points: 25
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 01
PPG: 13.8 RPG: 11.6
Omer has multiple tools in his bag as a big. He can stretch the floor with his lovely shooting touch but he can finish inside using power post moves and has a terrific rebounding game as well.

4. Bol Bol
Yet to play
Bol Bol is a tall player with amazing shooting sense. He has a silky smooth jumper and this Summer League will be a great chance for him to show what he is capable of, after getting little to no playing team for the Nuggets during the last Regular Season

5. Marcus Garrett
Points: 11
Rebounds: 10
Assists: 01
PPG: 13.8 RPG: 4.4
Garrett is a dogged guard who battles hard on defense and can have a lot of impact on the court. The rookie went undrafted but has been highly impressive with his drives and knack for defense.

6. Tarik Black
Yet to play
Tarik is a veteran player who has NBA experience with multiple teams. He is well-adept at cleaning up the boards and uses his athleticism to finish inside on lobs and inside passes.

7. Dru Smith
Points: 07
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 06

8. Tyson Carter
Points: 11
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 05
