GSW vs POR Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
The Splash brothers rolled back the time and reminded us of the time when they dominated the NBA without Kevin Durant. How good this Golden State Warrior team is and can be without him is evidently clear from the fact that the Dubs are now 2-0 up in the series against Portland Trail Blazers after winning the 2nd game 114-111 at Oracle Arena.
Stephen Curry may once again be hogging all the limelights after dropping a game-high 37 points, but the most eye-catching sight was how this whole squad is playing at this moment of time.

Regular Season Record- Portland Trail Blazers: W-53, L-29 Golden State Warriors: W-57, L-25
Players to watch out for: (Captain options)
Portland Trail Blazers: Damian Lillard – So far, Portland‘s best player both in the regular season and the postseason. If the Blazers are going to outscore the Warriors, Lillard will be amongst the high scorers for sure.
Season stats: He has averaged 25.8 points per game in the regular season, 11th best amongst all the players. His passing is key to Blazers’ success and more often than not he delivers as he is racking up 6.9 assists per game.
Playoffs stats: The sixth best player in the playoffs, as far as scoring is concerned. The 28-year-old point guard is averaging 27.4 points per game in the postseason, a team-high effort.
Against Golden State Warriors: There are few reasons to make him your star player in this particular game. Not only Blazers are at home, giving him extra motivation to raise his game, he has also averaged almost 29 points per game against the Golden State Warriors.
Points earned in the last five games: 45, 25.8, 45, 41.1, 40.2
