GSW vs BKN Dream11: Hey, dear readers and the followers of the NBA, how has the midseason window treated you. Well, you know with the trade deadline closing in, don’t be surprised if some big names are on the move soon, after all, this is a business at the end of the day! And well, ain’t this business fun for us viewers.
Anyway, let us talk about the game between Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets in a West-East affair. Warriors have been just scintillating this season and the current home stretch has worked well for this sharpshooting team. With Thompson back in the fray, I am worried for the rest of the league, this guy is catching his rhythm, be on the lookout and well, despite missing Green, the team’s compromised defense have been overcome by some unbelievable guard depth, well, you know this Curry, right!
On the other hand, the Brooklyn Nets have lost the last three games and have looked a little out of sorts lately. Well, how can you even replace a talent like Kevin Durant? His scoring is highlighted but when KD was healthy, he gave this team superb defensive balance. Now, although they will field Harden and Irving, the Nets will have their hands full.
Host: Golden State Warriors Visitors: Brooklyn Nets Match Timing: 30 January, @ 07:00 AM Venue: Chase Center
Match-ups Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry’s match-up at one-guard is a classic throwback one if you remember those Cavaliers-Warriors Finals. And well, the other guard match-up is no less enticing with James Harden squaring against Klay Thompson. However, at the wing position, with Andrew Wiggins and Otto Porter Jr. against Kessler Edwards and James Johnson, the Warriors have a considerable edge. In the middle, the Nets can eke out some offensive advantage with LaMarcus Aldridge but don’t forget Warriors’ stalwart Looney who has helped out on the boards and help defense with Green out of the fray. The Nets can also employ Patty Mills so that is one match-up that evens out the Jordan Poole factor for the Warriors or does it?
But there is one area of concern for the Nets beyond the match-up comparisons. They play a Warriors team that has won four in a row and saw all their three main guards in Poole, Curry, and Thompson, combing for 71 points in the last game at high efficiency. The Warriors play at home and I think the Nets will need to pull off something special here because the Warriors are going through one of those periods where they just keep on piling up wins. Hey, suppose Klay and Curry both get going, how will you defeat the Warriors! I have no idea at all.

BENCH: Bruce Brown, Cam Thomas, James Johnson, Blake Griffin, Nic Claxton, DeAndre Bembry, Jevon Carter, David Duke Jr
James Harden(BKN) has been a force on the offensive end and after missing the last game, he will be expected to play here. The guard has been scoring 30+ points, dishing 10+ assists, and grabbing 6-10 rebounds on a regular basis. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 57-65
Stephen Curry(GSW) Points: 29 Rebounds: 08 Assists: 06 Steals: 03 Steph may have been up-and-down since December but you can’t leave him open from anywhere around the three-point line and even inside it which means he keeps defenses busy. I think he will be in the 25-32 points, 6-8 assists, and 4-6 rebounds a game range. The sharpshooting guard can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 43-52
Kyrie Irving(BKN) has been a part-time player for the Nets but when he plays, he is in for the game. The guard has scored in the 24-30 points range while dishing 4-9 assists a game. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 38-47
Andrew Wiggins(GSW) Points: 19 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 04 Steals: 01 Wiggins has been selected as an All-Star and how long have I been making this plea! Well done to the voters! The wing has usually scored in the 17-23 points range this season, grabbing 4-5 rebounds a game regularly. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-37
Patty Mills(BKN) Points: 21 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 06 Steals: 01 The veteran guard is having the best season of his career scoring-wise and what a terrific signing he was in the offseason for the Nets. The high-quality perimeter shooter has dipped in 15-21 points a game regularly lately. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-38
Klay Thompson(GSW) Points: 23 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 04 You don’t want this guy to get going from the floor if you are in opposition and if he is going to figure in the range above, watch out! The guard has scored 21 or more in two of the last four games. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-38
