NOP VS GSW DREAM11 NBA Basketball Prediction Game-5, 9th May – Fantasy Team News

New Orleans Pelicans vs Golden State Warriors

NBA Post Season

Conference Semi-Finals, Warriors lead the series 2-1

NOP VS GSW DREAM11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Draymond Green, the hero amongst the superheroes, and perhaps the player in Golden State Warriors’ team who hogs the least of the limelight. We know the reason. If your teammates happen to be Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, you are destined to play second fiddle in that team unless you are Lebron James.

He is the most emotional human being in the Golden State Warriors team. There’s no need to tell you if you are a follower of the Dubs, or just watch the 2nd game where he roared at every point he scored, and his tussle with Nikola Mirotic was worth watching.

After winning the first two games at home, Warriors headed to Louisiana to take on New Orleans Pelicans. Many expected it to be their toughest assignment yet in this season’s playoffs, and it proved right in the 3rd game as Anthony Davis had a monster of a game, scoring 33 points and 18 rebounds, while Rajon Rondo racked up 21 assists of his own which was just 1 short of what defending champions managed in that game. The end result- Steve Kerr’s men ended up losing 119-100 in the 3rd game despite having a fit Stephen Curry in their rank.

Now comes Draymond Green’s emotional part – According to some reports in the ESPN, after the loss in the 3rd game, he couldn’t sleep in the night. He watched movies until 04:00 AM in the morning and just when he couldn’t cope with the emotional breakdown, he sent a text message to his teammate Kevin Durant, asking him to be him, to play like he always plays- And that is, Aggressive. It was because Durant scored 22 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in the 3rd game, a pretty low performance considering his high standards.

In the 4th game, we saw a different Kevin Durant to the one that played in the 3rd game and the one we all are so familiar with. The last year’s NBA Finals MVP dropped a jaw-dropping 38 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in Warriors’ 118-92 win over Pelicans in the 4th game which stretched Dubs’ lead to 3-1 in this 7 game series.

Now the series moves back to Oracle Arena, we can call it Warriors’ den, and we expect them to finish the job at their home and in front of their own fans.

But it’s easier said than done because New Orleans Pelicans are one of the most talented teams in NBA and in Anthony Davis, they have a LeBron James like presence in their team. With series on line for Pelicans, expect a closer game than the last one.

NOP VS GSW DREAM11 FANTASY TEAM:

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

The common held perception about the Golden State Warriors that they don’t lose two games in a row proved to be true once again as despite being humbled by New Orleans Pelicans in the 3rd game where defending champions were poor in all department, they rallied back with a huge win in the 4th GAME to stretch their lead to 3-1 in the series.

Now we are back to where this series took off i.e. Warriors’ home. It’s hard to beat them on the road and even harder at their home.

A Golden State Warriors win is our prediction in this match.
