POR vs PHI Dream11 Point Guard
A major reason for Portland Trail Blazers managing to do so well away from home where they have registered all three of their wins has been down to their point guard Damian Lillard. The player has put an integral part of their attacking layups, a performer who has not only controlled the centre of the court for the side and kept the ball moving fruitfully to pick up 29.2 points and 7.6 assists per match.
With Joel Embiid out for Philadelphia 76ers for today’s clash owing to his scuffle in the previous match, the onus is going to grow massively on Ben Simmons. The point guard has pulled off pristine and exceptional performances with his expertise begin clearly visible with the 8 assists he’s put up to dictate play for his side.
POR vs PHI Dream11 Shooting Guard
We continue to keep things level in this facet as well by getting in Rodney Hood from Portland and Matisse Thybulle from Philadelphia 76ers. Matisse is someone whose jump shots have seen him position himself adequately from outside the circle and open up the zone to send down triples, a player always capable of roping in a slew of points for his side.
POR vs PHI Dream11 Small Forward
Kent Bazemore will be representing us in this facet with the small forward needing to intertwine his skill set both inside and outside the circle and drop a good amount of points for his side. He’s up against a stringent defence, one which has screened, stolen and blocked the ball extremely articulately and his contributions will be needed to traverse past their defence today.
POR vs PHI Dream11 Power Forward
Both our players come in from Philadelphia 76ers as we stay true to our aforementioned narrative. The side have picked up a sensational 51.3 rebounds per match along with the 11.5 steals, enshrining in place a sublime defensive gameplan which has left their opponents flummoxed and flabbergasted. They have killed off and bludgeoned sides, leaving them in angst with this partnership being at the forefront of their defence to see us make them instant picks over here.
POR vs PHI Dream11 Centre
Kyle O’Quinn will be wrapping up our Dream 11 side for this encounter owing to the centre’s two toned nature as a performer, one which has seen him position himself astutely beneath both the poles.
Star Player
Damian has been chosen as our side’s star player for the clash.
