BKN vs NOP Dream11 : Two languishing sides look to overhaul their season when they go at loggerheads against each other today.

Regressing and unravelling in their respective conferences, for both of our opponents of the day, this match comes bearing with it a staunch identity. This is a must win clash for either side if they are to overhaul their underachieving form this season and finally unlock their true potential to go an ascendancy in the 2019-20 season of the marquee league.
Brooklyn Nets’ predicament comes as an extremely surprising one with the side having enjoyed a fruitful set of transfers, one which saw the side being touted as one of the overwhelming favourites to challenge for the trivalent of division, conference and league titles. Unfortunately, things have been far from solace filled for the side with the team waning and wavering to register just two wins in their six matches to sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference.
Having lost three of their previous four matches, the last clash was perhaps the most pivotal one in showcasing the underlying problems prevelant in the side. The 113-109 defeat to the Pistons came against a side riddled with injury issues, a match which gave a clear lowdown into the haywire nature of the Nets outfit at the moment.
They’ll be looking to turn things around against their opponents of the day with New Orleans Pelicans coming into the clash with an even more beleaguered set of results than Brooklyn Nets. The side are plummeted into last place in the Western Conference with the solitary win their six matches till now and with a spate of injury issues smearing the side, the outfit look extremely paper thin ahead of their impending fixture.

BKN vs NOP Dream11 Point Guard
When we had begin crafting out our Dream 11 side for this match, there was one player we had clearly selected on to make a must have one for the encounter. It’s the home side’s point guard Kyrie Irving with the player showing yet again why he’s the staunchest player in the outfit with a massive 30.5 assists and 7.5 assists per match in the league.
From the opposition meanwhile we are roping Lonzo Ball, a player on whom the onus will be ever so more given the injuries his side are suffering at the moment. His ability to control the centre of the ball and imbed in place quick ball movements makes him a key player of his side’s setup, seeing us roll in the player who has 7.3 assists per match for this one.

Our most heavily packed component of our Dream 11 side for today’s clash, we have gone in with a trio of players over here with a partnership coming in from Brooklyn Nets for this one.

We are keeping things relatively cheap over here by getting in Nicolo Melli from New Orleans Pelicans for this one.
