ON Vs NG Dream11 Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: Nelson Giants find themselves being dragged down into the bottom spots.

Losing both of their scrimmages after the league has resumed action, Nelson Giants find themselves fast running out of time in the coemption. The sullied displays have seen them plummet all the way down into 5th position with the club losing its relevance as a side capable of challenging for the glistening trophy of the National Basketball League.

The previous defeat to Taranaki is bound to have hurt the side the most with the club faltering in its quest of registering a win despite thrusting everything they had into the contest. The team managed to take the clash all the way into overtime but ultimately failed to show composure and resillinace when most needed to fall down to a 95-88 defeat on the day.

This is just the side Otago Nuggets would have wished to come across today as the side looks to stabilise its wavering form in the competition. Their 130-94 trouncing of Otago Nuggets the last time around took the club all the way into third position in the league, an exemplary showing which saw them establish their worth in the ongoing edition of the league.

ON Vs NG Dream11 Probable Winner

The attacking panache on display by Otago will see them grab today’s encounter by the scruff of the neck and keep consistently breathing down the necks of their competitors. With Nelson in a pickle at the moment, this looks to be a straightforward win for Nelson, a fixture where they could end up making a real mockery of their opponents.

ON Vs NG Dream11 Picks

Point Guard

Our Dream 11 side will begin with the pick of Benoit Hayman from Otago Nuggets, our cheap pick for the imminent encounter. The team’s point guard won’t be a part of the side’s starting rotations but that does little to deter us from indulging in his services with the player capable of pulling off turnovers at ideal moments to rope in a constant source of assists for himself.

Shooting Guard 

The one player Nelson Giants have relied upon all across the first half of NBL 2020 has been Tom Ingham. The shooting guard has played a quiessential role for the club with his ability to open the zone and send down triples from the midrange region seeing him keep his side in encounters.

Small Forward

David Brooks showed what he’s rally capable of in his foregone outing. In what was undoubtedly the player’s finest performance till date, the small forward delivered a stunning 23 point, 6 assist and 8 rebound all-round scrimmage, a showing so complete and well-versed in nature that he had to become a must have pick for this one.

Elsewhere, Otago will find representation in a name who has become all too familiar with our side now. Jordan Ngatai has always been a part of our framework when in play and rightfully so as well with the player proving his stature to us with 23 points and 9 rebounds the last time around.

Power Forward

We are going to partner him alongside Josh Aitcheson who yesterday dropped the 10 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, a showing which was responsible for his side’s expansive win. He’s going to be joined up by Akiva who at a meagre 4 credits was too good a name to slip up on after he coaxed his way 8 off handed shots in the same game.

Centre

We keep peeling off names from Otago after they ended up heralding their way a staggering showing of 130 points the last time around. Their centre, Jordan Hunt came up with 22 of those points, nonchalantly cajoling his way the robust showing as he went straight for the jugular under the post.

Zeb Lovell will meanwhile be our pick from the opposition after his articulate showing off 11 points and 12 rebounds in his bygone contest.

Star Player

His ability to rake in the double-doubles see us make Jordan our star player while Ingham is the vice-captain.

Dream 11 Team

Hayman, Ingham, Jordan, Brooks, Josh, Akiva, Jordan
