NYK vs NOP Dream11 Fantasy NBA Knicks vs Pelicans 18 April

Knicks vs Pelicans Fantasy NBA: The New York Knicks will come into this game after beating the Mavericks behind a monster 44 points outburst by Julius Randle. On the other hand, the Pelicans will enter the affair losing to the Wizards in an OT game, where Brandon Ingram bagged 34 points. Details about NYK vs NOP Dream11 will be given here.

Knicks’ season: Expectations were low on Knicks for this season but the young squad has risen up in face of a premier season by Julius Randle and the growth of RJ Barrett. Although the squad has some holes on multiple ends, they have been resilient defensively and have been able to muster up offense too. They are 6th in the NBA Standings for the Eastern Conference. New York is looking like a difficult team to beat right now as they have won 5 in a row.

Pelicans’ season: Pelicans have the most exciting prospect of the future in Zion Williamson, who has lived up to the hype so far and is a nightmare to defend at the Forward spot. Apart from Zion, Ingram has been a capable scorer and has given Pelicans a lot of life on the offensive end. However, the Pelicans are still not ready to be an NBA Playoffs team and they will have to make some moves in the offseason to achieve that feat.
