San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets move to Denver for the game 5 of the series which is proving to be the most competitive series so far among all the 8 1st round play-off series’, 2 of which have already finished in sweeps and the other 5 look like a gentleman’s sweep in the making that will be over by game 5.
The only series that is still in the balance is this between the Spurs and the Nuggets, which currently stands even at 2-2 with at least two more games left to decide who goes up and who goes home.
Spurs have been led by the performances of Derrick White who has come out of nowhere, just like most stars Pop seems to develop and the reliable DeMar DeRozan. For Nuggets players have blown hot and cold. Their most consistent player has been Jokic, but he needs to continue imposing himself as a scorer for the team to come out of this series with a win.
San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Dream11 Prediction
Point Guard:
Derrick White and Jamal Murray are our two top tier options with no big time numbers from anyone out of the top tier. The pick here is Derick White who is not only cheaper than Murray by 4 credits but has also outscored him with 108.4 D11 points compared to Murray with 80 points.
Shooting Guards :
Gary Harris rough regular season dropped his price way below what was expected. At just 10.5 Credits he is averaging a solid 29+ D11 points per contest with a very high 2.86 Points Per Credit.
Malik Beasley effectively runs point for the Denver second unit and when he and his second unit have performed well, the Nuggets have managed to eke out wins. In his last D11 contest the Nuggets rode his hot hand and gave him more minutes and he gave a 33 point production at a mere price of 8 Credits.
DeMar DeRozan has been the most consistent scorer in the series. He is a good rebounder for his position and Pop has taught him how to play point guard as he has blown past his previous career highs in assists. He is averaging 23.3 points (series high), 7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He is close to being a star player, and could usurp Jokic if Jokic has a poor scoring game.
Small Forward :
Neither team has great scoring or playmaking coming from their SF position. Rudy Gay and Will Barton do not inspire confidence as starters. So the best option here is to pick the cheapest candidate available that will play, and hope he does well. For what its worth, Craig scored 23.7 points in his last game.
Power Forward:
Paul Milsap is supposed to be the Denver Nuggets leader in their untested waters, that are these playoffs, but he has been a shell of his regular season self. He is averaging a mere 12 points and 4 rebounds, while averaging only 0.5 on assists, steals and blocks. At 13.5 Credits that is terrible. No one else seems to be doing a good job of picking that slack at PF for either team, so we bypass the whole thing with Eubanks, who wont play but comes at 3.5 Credits allowing us to get both Aldridge and Jokic into the team.
Center:
Nikola Jokic is the best player in the series and he is playing like it. He is averaging a near triple double for the series with averages of 20.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 9.3 assists. Those are the best numbers for the series and most nights you wont got wrong picking him not only for your team but also as your star player.
LaMarcus Aldrige provides less value for money than Jokic averaging 20.3 points, 9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. But he is also slightly cheaper (2.5 credits) than Jokic and there aren’t much better options to redistribute his value around.
Star Player:
Nikola Jokic
