ORL vs MIA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat

ORL vs MIA Dream11: COVID-19 has once again expanded its influence and is now placing multiple players in health & safety protocols, you never know which player will be sidelined. In this game, an already injury-inflected Orlando Magic meets another injury-ridden squad in Miami Heat. Magic has one of the worst records in the league while Heat has five more wins than losses in 29 games.

Orlando is rebuilding and is also missing many of its key rotation players. Magic’s record comes as a little surprise because largely, the team has fielded players under 23 years of age in the starting lineup, implying that this is a young team. Perhaps, Orlando will struggle to win 20 games this season.

Heat has done a wonderful job of keeping the campaign afloat despite missing Jimmy butler and Bam Adebayo. Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, PJ Tucker, DeWayne Dedmon, and Gabe Vincent have all elevated their games to mee this tough ask of winning games without Butler.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Magic: As expected…
Orlando has performed as expected and the current record is not much of a surprise. Still, the frontline of Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr., and Mo Bamba looks highly promising while PG Cole Anthony has shown he can become an all-around scorer. Orlando’s season is more about the development of the youth and for me, the team has a more solid foundational core than teams like Pistons and Rockets. Let us see if the management sticks to the development of the current core or look in a different direction next season.

Heat: A lot of fight
With Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson in the backcourt, PJ Tucker at Forward, and a pesky Center in Dewayne Dedmon, the Heat’s defense has been phenomenal recently. The team is well-adept at reading the opponent’s movements and once you hit some strides on offense, wins follow. The Heat has seen Kyle Lowry trying to get to 20 points, Duncan Robinson has tried to do the same while other actors off the bench such as Gabe Vincent have also stepped up the game. There is no way Heat could have done as well as they have had without Butler and Adebayo if the team had not acquired Lowry in the offseason. Trust me on that…
