Pelicans vs Celtics Dream11

New Orleans Pelicans vs Boston Celtics Fantasy NBA:  The New Orleans Pelicans will enter the contest after losing to the Phoenix Suns despite three of their players in Lonzo Ball, Zion Williamson, and Brandon Ingram eclipsing the 20 points mark. On the other hand, the Boston Celtics will hit the floor after beating the Atlanta Hawks rallying around a 28 points outburst by Kemba Walker. More information regarding NOP vs BOS Dream11 Fixture will be given here.

Pelicans’ season: Pelicans have struggled to garner enough wins to be in contention for the Playoffs but there is still considerable time left to make a run. Zion Williamson’s play has again captured millions of hearts and the Pels continue to build around their two forwards in Brandon Ingram and Williamson. The team lacks depth at certain positions but the play of Josh Hart has been impressive of late.

Celtics’ season: Boston has a better team than their record reflects. Sure, Kemba Walker has looked off-color during certain games but he did show up big time in the win against the Hawks. Brown and Tatum are having All-Star seasons, and the Celtics will be a better squad once Marcus Smart returns. There is still plenty of time left and Celtics’ can snatch away wins if they play like their last game.
