MWJ Vs AKH Dream11 Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: Auckland Huskies showing colossal fight and character to wrench out of the impasse they find themselves in
For Auckland Huskies, the hiatus in the National Basketball League 2020 came as a blessing in disguise for the club. The team used the time given to it off the court to address the behemoth problems pushing them back in the showpiece competition, hitting back hard since the league has resumed after his break.
From a measly two wins in five games, the club has now gone onto register two wins on the bounce, results which allude towards a spark which no one knew existed in the side’s ranks. The side has shifted its attention towards bolstering up the defensive side of the game, something which has served them fruitfully, traits on ample display in the side’s bygone 88-81 win over Canterbury.
However, a lack of coming up with points could hurt them today when they take on a Manawatu Jets side which has tasted all its consummate success this season owing to its emphatic brand of attacking play. And with the Jets hurting after their previous 130-94, they’ll come out of the blocks today, a team looking to avenge a defeat which curtailed their two game winning spree.
MWJ Vs AKH Dream11 Probable Winner
While Auckland’s newly foraged resillinace in defence will help pacify Manawatu Jets’ compelling attack, the backline will fall short on ample occasions. This Manawatu side is capable of clobbering any defence in the league, traits which will see them skittle a skewed Auckland side.

MWJ Vs AKH Dream11 Picks
Point Guard
Izayah has found his place in our side whenever Auckland Huskies have been in play and the point guard won’t be leaving the sanctum of our side today either. The player pulled off a stunning 12 point and 6 rebound display in the previous encounter, a performance which was reasonable in pulling off quick break points for the side at crucial junctures.
From Manawatu Jets on the other hand will see us opt for the pick of Nick Fae. At a frugal 5.5 credits, the point guard makes for pristine value, a player who pulled off 9 points in his side’s previous scrimmage.
Shooting Guard
His 18 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds the last time around showed why Jayden Bezzant is considered as the architect of this Jets side. The player embodies his side’s emphatic attacking gameplan, a player whose versatile skillset have seen him lead his side’s charge towards a spot in the annuls of the league standings.
We are pairing him along with Kalib Mullins for the day’s imminent clash while the opposition on the other hand will see us repose faith in the services of Taine Murray. The player converged in his side’s previous win with a game winning 19 point performance, a showing which saw his shooting arounds translate into a stunning display of shooting from the deep.
Small Forward
He’s going to find company in Nathan Wilson who was equally pivotal in helping the side to their second win on the spin. He pulled off 7 points and 4 rebounds in the last faceoff, numbers which emote towards his ability to both send points in the paint and latch onto the second chance points.
Power Forward
At a measly 4 credits, Ashton McQueen might just end up being our best snag of the day. The player has nonchalantly dropped points in the paint, utilising his ability to come up with reverse scoops and spin and slams to put on a stellar 11 point display yesterday.
Centre
Jets’ centre, the robust Tom Vodanovich will be brining down the curtains on our selections for the impending clash. The centre was responsible for 18 points and 8 rebounds in his last encounter, ones which saw him wins the battle of the boards and showing how easy it is for him to script game winning showings for the club.
Star Player
It this versatile skillset which sees us earmark him as our side’s star player for this one while Murray will be our side’s vice-captain.
