POR vs BOS Dream11 NBA Fantasy, Trailblazers vs Celtics, 14 April

Trailblazers vs Celtics Fantasy NBA: Portland Trailblazers will hit the floor after losing to the Heat in a game where none of their players could reach the 20 points mark. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics will come into this game after beating the Nuggets behind a 28 points performance by Jayson Tatum. A lineup related to POR vs BOS Dream11 will be given here.

Trailblazers’ season: While Portland has done a better job than last season, the squad falls into lapses at times and struggles at both ends. Despite the struggles, they have managed to be at the 6th spot in the NBA Standings for the Western Conference, and in this competitive conference, Lillard has carried a major load for Portland. After returning from injury, McCollum has looked solid and Trailblazers will need a lot from Norman Powell with NBA Playoffs at the cusp.

Celtics’ season: Boston has been underwhelming considering the talent they have in Tatum, Brown, Walker, and Smart. Their two primary scorers in Tatum and Brown have continued to impress, while Walker has gotten his chops back after the injury, however, a lack of bench-depth and a sturdy big-men who can score, rebound, and play defense has hurt the team against tough opponents. How will the Celtics navigate through the last parts of the season after having won three in a row?

Damian Lillard
PPG: 28.7
APG: 7.6
RPG: 4.2
TPG: 3.1
PFP: 46
Dame Dolla carried a majority of the load for the Trailblazers when CJ went out with the injury. The elite Guard managed to haul up multiple 30+ points and continued to be effective in the clutch, but fatigue is catching up with him and his production has been affected a little. However, despite all of this, Lillard is a lucrative candidate as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA fantasy scenario.

Jayson Tatum
PPG: 25.7
RPG: 7.1
APG: 4.2
SPG: 1.3
TPG: 2.6
PFP: 47
Tatum has been the leading option for the Celtics and has turned it up a notch every now and then. He is one of the most productive scorers in the league and despite this offensive performance, his team has slackened a little in getting wins. He is averaging an impressive 29.4 PPG for the last 10 games, including a 53 points outburst.

Jaylen Brown
PPG: 24.3
RPG: 5.8
APG: 3.5
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 2.7
PFP: 42
Just like Tatum, Brown has been impressive in terms of personal accomplishments, however, he will be more pleased if the Celtics make a winning run to end the season. Jaylen continues to grow as a scorer and has put up some incredible performances this season. Brown has averaged 7.2 RPG and 1.2 BPG since the month began.

CJ McCollum
PPG: 23.5
APG: 4.6
RPG: 3.8
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 1.3
PFP: 45
McCollum missed most of the season with injury but has returned in full flow. He has looked solid since last week and has made his presence felt on the offensive side of things. He has averaged 1.8 SPG for the last 4 encounters. He is averaging 20.7 PPG since April started.

Norman Powell: PPG: 19.0 RPG: 3.1 SPG: 1.2 TPG: 1.8 PFP: 36
Powell’s addition adds spice to the SF position for Portland, however, it will take him some to get integrated into his new role. He has averaged 16.3 PPG, 3.4 RPG, and 1.7 SPG since his arrival in Portland.

Marcus Smart: PPG: 13.4 APG: 5.6 RPG: 3.1 SPG: 1.5 TPG: 1.7 PFP: 39
