POR vs DET Dream11 Point Guard
Derrick Rose from Detroit Pistons will be roped into our side as the point guard for this upcoming contest. He’s the units leading scorer with the 18 ppg and 5.7 apg, a player who’ll be massively responsible to their chances of pulling off an elusive win on the day.
POR vs DET Dream11 Shooting Guard
With Detroit offering nothing in the way of blocks when it comes to curbing treys and shots from the midrange region, Portland’s C.J. McCollum is set to thrive and flourish today. His ability to open the zone for himself and keep sending down triples with a high conversion rate makes him sublime value for the encounter.
He’s going to be accompanied by Gary Trent, a player who along with McCollum has formed a daunting partnership, one which has made it extremely cumbersome for the opponents to guard and screen them.
POR vs DET Dream11 Small Forward
One player from either side is being roped in by us for the tie with us beginning with Trevor Ariza from Portland Trail Blazers. His versatile ability to both pull off points in the paint along with just outside the rim will see him come up with a plethora of baskets on the day.
POR vs DET Dream11 Power Forward
Level representation once again with us beginning with Carmelo Anthony from Portland Trail Blazers. His ability to latch onto the second chance points has seen him not only drop points in the paint but win the battle of the boards for his outfit as well, something which has seen him turnover possession pinch perfectly for the unit.
Elsewhere, Sekou Doumbouya will represent our side from Detroit Pistons for the imminent clash.
POR vs DET Dream11 Centre
Up against a side which has allowed teams to pull possession off them and turnover possession with consummate success, Hassan Whiteside made for a must have pick for the encounter. He’s registering the 14 rpg, numbers which allude towards his quirky nature as a defensive player, someone who has left side’s disgruntled with his steals and blocks.
Last Player in our side would C Wood from Detroit Piston because he can be one of the best differential in this match as a Center
Star Player
With both rebounds and points in the paint in his kitty, Whiteside will be our star player for this one.
