WAS vs DAL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Washington Wizards vs Dallas Mavericks

WAS vs DAL Dream11: Hello, dear NBA fans, hope life is treating you well, well, life does have given you an opportunity to watch quality basketball by tuning into the NBA world. And soon there will be more and more intense battles to view in the NBA Galaxy as the Playoffs will close in. That is why the current period is important for various squads to finish on a high, especially the ones that remain in Playoffs contention. Washington Wizards have been eliminated from the Postseason race already but they will face one of the top teams from the Western Conference.

This has been the second straight disappointing season for the Wizards. The team has been one of the worst since the mid-November period and after a strong 10-3 start to the season, the team has only seen pain and suffering. The injury to Bradley Beal added to that suffering and his future with the team remains fuzzy at this point.

Things have not been fuzzy for the Dallas Mavericks since January. They have etched themselves as one of the top teams in the league and with the way they are playing, even top-two seeded Suns and Grizzlies aren’t safe. Yes, surely, they lack the offensive depth of those teams, but with Luka Doncic and an elite defense, who knows if the Mavs turn a big run?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Wizards managed a strong 127:110 win against the Magic as Kristaps Porzingis clinched 35 points.

Unfortunately, such wins have been far and few for the Wizards this season, and this has been the second season in a row that the team failed to make a mark. At least, last season the team reached the Play-in tournament but this season has been as painful as it gets. There is a significant lack of star power and unlike last season, their only star player Bradley Beal was unable to rack up 30+ points consistently. The team defense has been awful for the most part and the management has the work cut out.

But there is a promise if Beal decides to stick. A lineup of Beal, Kuzma, and Porzingis alongside a two-way playmaking PG can be a difference-maker. The Wizards have lacked stability at the Point Guard position all season long and that has been one of the major reasons for their failings. This is a team that began in a rousing fashion, relying on their defense, but once the intensity dropped off and a rough stretch began away from home, the team also started losing a bunch of home games.

The Mavericks come into this game after steamrolling the Lakers 128:110 as Luka Doncic had another 30+ points night

The Mavericks have been one of the best teams in the league ever since January and one of the major reasons has been the continuous elite play of Doncic. The theme has been simple for the Mavs, shut down teams in the second half completely and finish the game on a high note. At home, they have been one of the best squads but they have every tool in the kit to be an equally effective road team. The best part about the Mavericks’ run has been that apart from Luka, the rest of the players are role players and this makes for a beautiful balance.

But what is a “role player” exactly? We fail to recognize the defensive stars at times and Dorian Finney-Smith and Reggie Bullock are surely these defensive stars. Maxi Kleber has been a strong defender and rebounder as well, sparking the team on that end. Luka Doncic also has Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie as two other major ball-handlers and this gives him more liberty to play off-the-ball at times. Although the Mavericks may not look as loaded as the Grizzlies or the Suns, they can be a force on the defensive end. Can they pull out a miracle Playoffs run?

In the not the most riveting piece of news, Indian NBA online platforms Voot and JIO TV are not going to stream this game. On the other hand, TV channels MTV and VH1 are also not going to display this game. So what can you do to watch this game? I recommend access to the NBA League Pass, where you can buy the annual subscription and dive through all the live games while also watching the full-game replays afterward.
