POR Vs GSW Dream11 Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: Two dwindling sides square off against each other as they scour for lost glory.

From winning two straight titles to now sitting in bottom place in the Western Conference. While Golden State Warriors’ campaign was dusted with two months back after they saw a spate of injuries to their star performers, the lack of capable players to fill in the void left by these injuries has been startling.
While GSW were going to challenge for the conference, let along league title this season after seeing almost their entire playing 5 rendered obsolete courtesy of long injuries, no one envisaged them to endure such a tatters of a season. Notwithstanding their injuries, the side were widely touted to do better than be left as mere pushovers this season.
Their 10-34 record at the moment embodies their peril this season with their performances leaving the side’s supporters dreary. It’s something which 11th placed Portland Trail Blazers will be looking to extract the most out of when they take on GSW today in a bid to curtail their two straight defeats.
Probable Winner
With both the sides languishing in the points tally, we are not going to have the most intriguing of contests at our hands today. Either side will be tentative, looking to save themselves from the embarrassment of another defeat with us envisioning the home side dong just about enough to squirm their way through to a win.

POR Vs GSW Dream11 Point Guard
With 27.1 ppg and the 7.6 apg, Damian Lillard from Portland Trail Blazers will be our side’s point guard for today’s upcoming encounter. He player has registered extremely pristine number, ones which epitomes his worth to the unit, figures we see him adding to against a despondent defence.
Elsewhere with the 23.3 ppg and the 6.4 apg to go with them D’Angelo Russell from Golden State Warriors is going to be our second pick in this ambit. At a time when there has been nothing on offer by the side in their attacking travails, he’s waged a lone battle for the unit to emerge as the fulcrum of his unit.
We are pairing him alongside Anfernee Simons, someone who has been granted a role in the side’s playing 5 given the slew of injuries to the unit and his versatile ability to play in multiple positions.
POR Vs GSW Dream11 Shooting Guard
While GSW have struggled all season long to muster up enough points, today is the ideal encounter for Anthony Burks to manoeuvre his way past a dreary defence. The shooting guard has an innate ability to use his nous of sending down triples from both right outside the paint and midrange area to see us opt for him.
Jordan Poole comes in as well from the setup as we go in for a one-two from the land of the side.
POR Vs GSW Dream11 Small Forward
Portland Trail Blazers’ disgruntled defence is going to make for tiresome viewing once again today, something which will allow Glenn Robinson to continue to send down triples and treys. Along with it, he has ability to latch onto the second chance points and use his high conversion rate to send down free throws to make him our pick.
POR Vs GSW Dream11 Power Forward
He’s been the side’s mainstay in defence, a player who has ensured his deflections have seen him not only rescue the side to wins but has transitioned the ball from defence to attack as well for them to make Carmelo Anthony from the home side our pick here.
POR Vs GSW Dream11 Centre
A massive reason for GSW pulling off an elusive win the last time around was due to Wile Cauley-Stein pulling off a tenacious showing in defence. It sees us entrust the centre for today’s encounter to wrap up proceedings for the day.
Star Player
Lillard comes in as our side’s star player.
