Dream 11 Picks

Point Guard

LeBron James has often been questioned for his performances in crunch situations but the point guard managed to silence his naysayers with a game winning double-double the last time around. With 38 points, 8 assists and 12 rebounds in game 3, the player delivered in all ambits of his side’s gameplan to make him a must have pick for today’s encounter.

Partnering up with him will be Alex Caruso. Although he’s blown hot and cold on way too many occasions, he showed what he’s capable of when at his 100% with 10 points and 7 rebounds.

Shooting Guard

After an incredible seeding round, Gary Trent has started crumbling in form. He’s gone off the boil at the wrong moment but there’s not too much to read into his tepid displays but the player running the show for the side only till a couple of weeks back.

Small Forward

Carmelo Anthony had a huge hand to play in Portland Trail Blazers’ attacking show in game 3. With 20 points to his name, he played a crucial role in helping his side push the Lakers close and take the game all the way to the culminating stages as he pulled off a string of floating jump shots.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been berated way too often and rightly so as well. He’s been mediocre since the league’s return, shooting at a horrid rate to put his side in a quagmire.

However, the last game saw him come up with a respectable enough 13 points and with a place in the team’s starting rotations, he’ll be our pick for the clash.

Power Forward

In a team comprising of James, Anthony Davis has still managed to stand tall above his counterpart. Regarded as the most pristine names in the league this term, he dropped yet another game winning performance with his flawless brand of shooting in the paint seeing him pop up with a ravishing 29 points and 11 rebounds.

Partnering him up for this one is Markieff Morris. He’s not functioning at his best but his ability to guard the rim and come up with defensive rebounds makes him hold a place in our framework.

Centre

With the most number of rebounds for his side in game 3, Hassan Whiteside will be our pick as the centre. His ability to pull off steals, blocks and deflections makes him a pivotal part of Portland’s gameplan as they look to quash the Lakers from piling on the triples.

Star Player

With two double-doubles on the spin, Davis retains his place as our star player while James is the pro player.

James, Caruso, Trent, Kentavious, Anthony, Davis, Morris, Hassan
