GSW vs PHX Dream11 : Rattled GSW face yet another dicey encounter when they clash heads against Phoenix Suns today.

Ahead of the ongoing edition of NBA, Golden State Warriors were well aware that they were no longer the untouchable and staunch outfit which had won titles at will previously. There was a massive exodus of star performers from the side leaving the outfit devoid of the myriad performers which had made it such a stalwart unit in the bygone years.

And the side have had to face the brute brunt of a massively depleted outfit, one further depleted by injuries to key players in the form of Klay Thompson and Kevin Looney. With just the one win from their opening three encounters, the side sit in a dire position with the side ruffled by their competitors to find themselves languishing in 11th place in the Western Conference.

However the side will e immensely buoyed by their first win away from home, a 124-124 win over New Orleans Pelicans as they just about managed to scrape through to a crucial result. It’s a performance they’ll be looking to build on counterparts Phoenix Suns today, a side who have endured a mixed bag of results in the four matches they have played till in now.

The two wins and two defeats apiece from four encounters see them above GSW in the conference, currently occupying 9th position with the side managing to pull off a stunning upset when they defeated LA Clippers 130-122. It was a massive result for not only the side but throughout the league as well, a result which the side will be looking to use as a defining moment as they look to imbed in place a runaway win against a dwindling GSW side today.

GSW vs PHX Dream11 Point Guard

With Golden State Warriors losing almost all of their star performers to either transfers or injuries, the onus couldn’t have been any more immense than it is now on Stephen Curry to emerge as the pivotal figure for the side. The point guard is undoubtedly the best player in the side, a name who can outrightly use his innate nous of qualities as a performer to singlehandedly win matches for the side.

And he’s lived upto the massive expectations accorded from him till now, putting in a match winning effort against New Orleans Pelicans with a double-double that saw him come up with 26 points and 11 rebounds to make him a regulation pick for this clash. From the opposition meanwhile we are moving in with Jevon Carter for today’s forthcoming clash after his imperious display against LA Clippers.

GSW vs PHX Dream11 Shooting Guard 

With Klay Thompson out for his side, Jordan Poole has seen himself getting elevated time out on the court, something he’s utilised extremely fruitfully. He’s emerging as someone who can give assistance to Curry in the attacking plays, intertwining his position outside the court in tandem with Stepehn Curry to pick up some good treys to see us opt for him.

GSW vs PHX Dream11 Small Forward

Both our players come in from GSW for this encounter with us opting for the daunting partnership of Glenn Robinson and Omari Spellman. If the side are going to have any chance of winning this one and wrenching out of the impasse they find themselves in at the moment, they’ll need the duo to manifest their skill set in unison and layup the ball for each other and try to leave the opposition’s defence besmirched.

GSW vs PHX Dream11 Power Forward

A massive reason for GSW plunging in form at the moment and suffering a plight is due to their defensive setup. With Kevin Looney out for the side as well, it’s a paper thin defence which the side have at their disposal at the moment with the unit leaving everything on Draymond Green.

His escalated role should see him pick up a good amount of deflections and rebounds, making him our choice over here while from the opposition we are opting to move in with Frank Kaminsky for this fixture.

GSW vs PHX Dream11 Centre

We lose out our Dream 11 side for this encounter by getting in centre Aron Baynes from Phoenix Suns. The centre has positioned himself adequately underneath his side’s paint, ensuing he’s the first to latch onto rebounds and help begin quick break points and turnover possession for his side from defence to attack.

Star Player

We have decided to make a headway into this fixture with Curry as our side’s star player.
