This has without any hint of a doubt been an extremely emphatic and profound season for Dallas Mavericks. Sitting in sixth position in the Western Conference, the club have way surpassed all expectations accorded when NBA 2019-20 made an advent in the fraternity.
Currently on a three game winning spree, Dallas Mavericks managed to arrest a losing spree which threatened to embroiled them in the same impasse they were caught in the previous seasons. The side have managed to instil in place the same rampant success which has seen them sit in the echelons of the league standings.

And as they look to continue on that rampant spree, they face a stern test today in the identity of Portland Trail Blazers. Defeating Houston Rockets 117-107 the last time around, Portland have come into today’s upcoming affair with two wins on the bounce, form which will make them a stringent test for today’s hosts.
Probable Winner
This will be an extremely closely contested affair with Portland Trail Blazers laden with players capable of making things jittery for Dallas Mavericks today. However, the home side are more than capable of sending down a slew of points with consummate ease, one which should guide them through to a win today.

DAL Vs POR Dream11 Point Guard
He’s been the embodiment of Dallas Mavericks’ unprecedented maverick showings this season to see us make Luka Doncic our first pick for today’s upcoming outing. With the 28.8 ppg, 9 apg and the 9.8 rpg to go with them, the point guard’s numbers allude to his extradonaire brand of basketball this season, one which has made him the mainstay of his side’s gameplan across all components.
Elsewhere, Portland Trail Blazers have their reply to Doncic in the form of Damian Lillard. He’s put on a stellar 27 points per game with the 6.5 apg to go with them to see him become a must have selection for this encounter.
DAL Vs POR Dream11 Shooting Guard
An affair which required us to go in with a cheap pick, we scoured heavily for a player ideal of filling up this slot. Our perusal lead us towards the services of Gary Trent, someone who at just 4 credits and assured time out on the court becomes a sensational selection for the encounter given his ability to send down treys.
DAL Vs POR Dream11 Small Forward
Portland Trail Blazers find themselves sitting in 10th spot in the Western Conference owing to their inability to pull off blocks and steals. It’s a narrative which will cherish Tim Hardaway, someone who will find it way to easy to not only send down midrange triples but come up with floating jump points for his side as well.
Elsewhere, we have the one pick fro Portland as well for this outing with us moving in with Kent Bazemore. He’s someone who can control the middle of the court for his side, an area which will be pivotal to their chances of coming out unblemished from a stern test.
DAL Vs POR Dream11 Power Forward
The one player apiece from either side for us once again with us moving in with Carmelo Anthony from Portland Trail Blazers first. The player will be immense for his side today, someone whose ability to guard his paint will be massively required in abundance, a role we see him flourishing in on the day.
Meanwhile from the other side of the component we are closing out our Dream 11 side with the selection of Maximilian Kleber for this encounter.
DAL Vs POR Dream11 Centre
Fully fit from his injury plight this season, Boban Marjanovic has returned in Dallas Mavericks’ playing 5 immediately. And he’s spruced up his side’s defence with his deflections, rebounds and steals to close out our Dream 11 side for the impending tie.
Star Player
Doncic was a regulation pick as our star player for this one.
