PHX vs POR Dream11 Match Prediction

PHX vs POR Dream11: Two teams struggling for positive results and consistency bump into each other as Portland Trail Blazers face Phoneix Suns on the road in this crunch East vs West matchup at Talking Stick Resort Arena, in Arizona, on Tuesday morning (IST).

Form and recent results:

If the last season is a parameter for both the teams, then the Phoenix Suns are certainly in the ascendency and a team with the most improved performance rating this season. After all, the Suns were the worst team in the NBA last season, well they have been for quite some time now. So have an 11-14 return on the season and sit on the fringes of the playoff spots, is certainly a step up for the Suns. The view on the table would have been even better for the Sun had they not lost seven times in the last 10 matches. As for the latest game, the Suns lost 119-121 at home against the San Antonio Spurs.

Portland Trail Blazers, on the other hand, have taken the route down and South this season. From challenging for the Western Conference premiership last season and a regular fixture in the post-seaosn, the Blazers are toiling to even be relevant in the playoff scrimmage. The Blazers lost 114-99 to Denver Nuggets in the last match and now have 10-16 return on the season.

Dream11 Tips and Predictions: Fantasy Picks-

Damian Lillard: His form has been a tad more up and down in recent weeks, and that’s strange considering the high standards he has set throughout his playing career. Still, he is the best and the most consistent players for the Blazers:

CJ McCollum: And the same can be said about McCollum who has not been playing as you would expect. But again, he is a big game and a superstar player.

Hassan Whiteside: Arguably the most complete player for the Blazers this season. He is an absolute monster inside the pain and is very good on offence.

Devin Booker: The result of the game will depend a great deal on the availability of Devon Booker. He is the Suns’ best player and the best bet in any game.

Kelly Oubre Jr: His passing has been a tad average, but he compensates it with his presence inside the paint. He is also the 2nd best active offensive player for the Suns.
Suns’ impact players:
Dario Saric: He is leading the team in rebounds per game and is also averaging in double-digits.
Ricky Rubio: Leads the team in assists charts, and is more than handy with his scoring.
