GSW vs CLE Dream11: The NBA Regular Season is in its early stages which means that the early trends will be tough to keep up for the squads that have begun in a hot fashion. Others are yet to set the tone. And one of those squads that have struggled to set the tone is Golden State Warriors. The Warriors is going to take on Cleeland Cavaliers.
The Warriors enter the game after winning 116:113 against the Golden State Warriors as Stephen Curry racked up 47 points. Despite the win, the Warriors have overall lost seven out of the eleven games. On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers come into this game after a 120:127 loss against the Sacramento Kings despite a 38 points effort by Donovan Mitchell.
Host: Golden State Warriors Visitors: Cleveland Cavaliers Match Timing: 12 November, @ 08:30 AM (+05:30 UTC) Venue: Chase Center
Warriors: An uncharacteristic beginning
The Warriors have been playing an underwhelming brand of basketball and their defense has been letting them down. They had a lucy win against the Kings as the officials missed a late call. The Warriors have not done well and their bench has been one of the worst in the league. Jordan Poole has been struggling to get going and he will need to pick it up. Stephen Curry has been doing his usual dancing around the defense but even that hasn’t been enough. Andrew Wiggins has been on fire too while Draymond Green has been doing well, Klay Thompson has been inconsistent and overall, the Warriors have a long way to go this season.
Cavaliers: A lot of fizz
While the recent road trip has taken a bit of a toll with two losses in a row, the Cavs have been doing a great job on both ends thus far. They will be looking to improve their record further after two losses and they can turn it around with the personnel at hand. Donovan Mitchell has continued to lead winning effort in the Cavs after turning around the Jazz Franchise. His pairing with Darius Garland looks ominous but Darius has had some trouble adjusting with another two ball-dominant guards in Mitchell and Caris LeVert. Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley form a strong defensive duo whereas rebounding specialist Kevin Love gives depth to the Forward lineup.

Bench: Dean Wade, Mamadi Diakate, Lamar Stevens, Isaiah Mobley, Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro, Robin Lopez, Raul Neto.
Donovan Mitchell(CLE) Points: 38 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 04 Steals: 01 Mitchell is one of the best isolation scorers and he has enabled Cavs to accelerate their offensive output compared to last season. I believe he will be in 24-31 points range. He can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Stephen Curry(GSW) Points: 47 Rebounds: 08 Assists: 08 Sharpshooter Curry continues to bury multiple defenses with each game and there is just no answer for this man. I believe he will be in 25+ points, 6-9 assists, 4-7 rebounds, and 1-3 steals range.
Darius Garland(CLE) Points: 06 Rebounds: 00 Assists: 08 Point Garland is one of the best playmakers and he has the tools to recover from a poor offensive night. I believe he will be in 17-23 points and 8-11 assists range.
Andrew Wiggins(GSW) Points: 25 Rebounds: 10 Assists: 02 Steals: 02 Blocks: 01 Wing Andrew has been a big factor on both ends but that hasn’t proven enough for the Warriors to posted even a 50% win record. I believe he will be in 20-25 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 1-3 steals range.
Klay Thompson(GSW) Points: 16 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 03 Blocks: 02 Steals: 01 Off-Guard Klay has been struggling with his long-range but has had some strong minutes lately. I believe he will be in 14-19 points range here.
Caris LeVert(CLE) Points: 21 Rebounds: 10 Assists: 06 Steals: 02 Guard Caris has been an incredible influence in the Cavs scheme as an all-around off-guard. I believe he will be in 14-19 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 4-7 assists range here.
Draymond Green(GSW) Points: 11 Rebounds: 08 Assists: 06 Green is the defensive anchor who can also be a brilliant rebounder and playmaker as well. I believe he will be in 7-12 points, 6-9 rebounds, 5-7 assists, and 1-3 steals/blocks range.
PG: S Curry(SP) SG: C LeVert, D Mitchell(PP) SF: C Osman PF: D Green, J Kuminga, A Lamb C: K Looney
