DOR vs LTU Dream11 Point Guard

With 7 assists for the side previous, Dominican Republic’s Gelvis Solana is our pick in this segment. The point guard will be critical for the side today, someone tasked with not only crafting play from his only side of the court but also ensuring that the side’s gameplan is executed meticulously at every step.

Lithuania’s Lukas Lekavicius comes in as well for in this facet with side’s point guard proving to be a more than adept dictator of the game, someone who holds a pivotal role for transitioning the ball from defence to attack seamlessly for the side. 

DOR vs LTU Dream11 Shooting Guard 

His 15 points against Jordan manifested Victor Liz’s tenacity and plethora of skill set as the side’s best shooter, someone capable of setting himself just on the brink of the circle to find his range and send down open threes. With his side bound to find their plays inside the circle closed out today, the region outside the circle will be crucial to the side’s cause of consummate success, seeing Liz heavily involved in his side’s gameplan.

Marius Grigonis comes in for us meanwhile from the other side.

DOR vs LTU Dream11 Small Forward

With 4 steals and the 1 block to his name, small forward Luis Montero showed that he brings more to the side than just his shooting capabilities. Playing the perfect role of a versatile small forward to pinch perfection till now in the tournamnet, it’s his defensive displays which have been particularly impressive, seeing him dismiss attacks with disdain on a persistent basis.

From Lithuania we have opted for the services of Jonas Maciulis after his two solid displays as a substitute in the recent bygone fixtures.

DOR vs LTU Dream11 Power Forward

With 13 points and 1 block against Senegal, Lithuania’s power forward, Domantas Sabonis was in untouchable form, blasting his way into the circle to find himself get on the end of the side’s luscious plays and rebounds. He’s extremely quick to get back and contribute in his side’s defensive facet as well, making hi probably the most vital player for his side, seeing him earn a spot in our side as well.

DOR vs LTU Dream11 Centre

Ronald Roberts might not start this but he’s definitely going to be called in at some point given his immense repertoire of skill set to launch himself and latch onto the rebounds. Winning the ball is going to be crucial in this match and Roberts is someone who can turnover possession perfectly for his side.

Star Player

Lithuania’s power forward, Sabonis is our side’s star player for today.
