PHX vs BKN Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets

PHX vs BKN Dream11: The NBA train keeps choo-chooing and well, some teams have had their trains rolling big-time as well. Well, the NBA midseason window is ticking away and while some teams have continued to build on their earlier momentum, other units have fallen behind big-time. As injuries mount up, some teams lose the steam while others are built in such a way that can keep heating up the machine even with some of their main players down.

And the example of a team that keeps on going on even with their main players down is the Phoenix Suns. They have the best record in the league and well, they refuse to lose and are the only team not to have lost ten games and the only team to have lodged 40 wins this season. Suns have backed up a Finals appearance with an even better performance this season.

On the other hand, fans of Brooklyn Nets must feel betrayed as the big three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving haven’t even played in 10% of the games together so far. Now that Irving has been back, Durant has been injured and James Harden is also questionable for this particular game. The Nets are on a four-game losing streak and look to rejuvenate their season.

Host: Phoenix Suns
Visitors: Brooklyn Nets

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Suns: They keep on going up
The Suns keep on piling up wins. First, they went on an eighteen-game winning streak and are currently on a ten-game winning streak, continuing to pour heat through their guard tandem. With Paul and Booker, the team has two top-class scorers and a playmaker like Paul keeps things ticking no matter who is around him, he can make any player around him better and plays at a high clip during most games.

Booker has been on fire since January and he has picked up his scoring with Ayton going out of the lineup. Wings Bridges and Johnson provide stability at the Forward position while Biyombo has done well in terms of grabbing boards and finishing inside with Ayton gone. The Suns will be playing without five of their key rotation players here, how will that affect them? Well, Booker and Paul don’t care really!

Nets: Tough terrain
When will we ever see Durant, Irving, and Harden play together? It seems like a distant dream for many Nets fans and well, due to that, the team has slipped from the top to the sixth position. There is a difference between players like Durant and Harden or Durant and Irving. When Durant was playing without Harden, the team could still win most of the games, since Durant can be effective on both ends of the floor but since he has been gone, they have suffered losses in the majority of their games.

Nets come in here on a four-game losing streak and you really will not want to play even a short-handed Suns team in this sort of window. Irving has been firing from the field while Harden does his job as the playmaker, rebounder, and scorer whenever he plays but the team lacks depth without Durant to pull through during most nights. Bembry, Brown, and Griffin have not been receiving many minutes and if not for Durant’s absence, Kessler Edwards wouldn’t be playing current minutes as well. The Nets keep on losing their way and well, the fans will hope that Durant returns soon.

PHX vs BKN DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

• Nic Claxton(BKN) had 9 points, 8 rebounds in the last game. I expect the Forward to get in the 7-11 points range while grabbing 6-8 rebounds on a consistent basis.
• James Johnson(BKN) had 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. James has scored 7 or more in each of the last four games while grabbing 4-8 rebounds.
• Bismack Biyombo(PHX) had 10 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block in the last game. With Ayton out but McGee back, I expect a 9-14 points, 9-13 rebounds range from the Center
• Cameron Johnson(PHX) had 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist in the last game. I am sure the wing will soon come in the 14-21 points range while grabbing 4 or more rebounds regularly.
• Kessler Edwards(BKN) had 4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks in the last game. The defensive wing has been getting minutes with Durant out. I expect 4-9 points, 5-6 rebounds, and 1-2 blocks a game regularly.
• Blake Griffin(BKN) had 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block in the last game. Blake has been in the 4-8 points and 4-5 rebounds range recently.
