SAC vs GSW Dream11: The NBA Regular Season has been on and what a beautiful start this has been. Many teams have shown that they are up for the big season while there are others that are still struggling for rhythm. One of those baffling strugglers Golden State Warriors is going to take on the Sacramento Kings.
The Warriors come into this game after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 106:101 as Stephen Curry nailed 40 points. They have now won two in a row but still have two more losses than wins. The Sacramento Kings defeated LA Lakers in last game, winning 120:114 as De’Aaron Fox nailed 32 points. They have also won two in a row, but still has one more loss than wins.
Host: Sacramento Kings Visitors: Golden State Warriors Match Timing: 14 November, @ 07:30 AM (+05:30 UTC) Venue: Golden 1 Center
Kings: They have a solid core
The Kings are once again reliant upon the hot-hand of De’Aaron Fox who has crated a wide range of offensive repertoire. He has had a blessing in form of Kevin Huerter, who is shooting the lights out. Domantas Sabonis is getting more comfortable with the Kings with each day and he is one of the most smartest Forwards in the league. Rookie Keegan Murray and veteran Harrison Barnes are two wings who form a great complimentary duo. On the other hand, the bench of Davion, Malik, Trey, and Chimezie has a lot of fizz on both ends, holding their ends well.
Warriors: Are they getting back on track?
The last two wins for the Warriors have featured the themes that made them a title team last season. Tight defense and closed out games by making big shots, riding the hot-hand of Stephen Curry. The bench is one of the worst if not the worst in the league but if Jordan Poole gets back to his groove, they will be surely building a big streak. Klay Thompson has been blasted for his inconsistent shooting, but it isn’t horrible, it is just that he has set high standards. Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green form a solid defensive Forward pairing while Kevon Looney knows the system well. Can the bench become better soon? Can Donte DiVincenzo’s return help the cause?

De’Aaron Fox(SAC) Points: 32 Rebounds: 07 Assists: 12 Steals: 02 Fox is once again carrying the Kings offense in an admirable way and has proven to be a tough match-up. I believe he will be in 26-29 points, 7-10 assists, and 4-6 rebounds range. He can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Stephen Curry(GSW) Points: 40 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 05 Steals: 01 Curry continues to makes jaws drop with his unbelievable shooting performances and he has now secured two 40 points or more nights in a row. I believe he will be in 30+ points, 5-8 assists, and 4-6 rebounds range.
Domantas Sabonis(SAC) Points: 21 Rebounds: 10 Assists: 06 Steals: 01 Sabonis has become more assertive offensively lately and he has been a strong inside player, scoring 19 or more in five games straight, while nabbing 10+ rebounds repeatedly. I believe he will be in 18-24 points, 10-15 rebounds, and 5-8 assists range.
Andrew Wiggins(GSW) Points: 20 Rebounds: 06 Assists: 00 Steals: 02 Blocks: 01 Wing Wiggins has continued where he left off last season and has provided high-quality scoirng and defense to the Warriors. I believe he will be in 16-22 points and 4-6 rebounds range.
Draymond Green(GSW) Points: 02 Rebounds: 09 Assists: 13 Steals: 01 Big Forward Green is one of the best passers and rebounders in the league, but more than that he is among the best defenders too. I believe he will be in 4-8 points, 7-11 assists, and 6-9 rebounds range.
Kevin Huerter(SAC) Points: 16 Rebounds: 06 Assists: 02 Steals: 03 Blocks: 02 Huerter’s outside stroke has been ringing and he has been a great boost to the Kings offense. I believe he will be in 14-19 points range here.
Klay Thompson(GSW) Points: 09 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 01 Steals: 01 Thompson is yet to find a hot shooting streak from three but remember, he is more than an offensive player, he can play tough defense too. I believe he will be in 11-17 points and 3-5 rebounds range.
