BKN vs GSW Dream11: This has to be the most exciting showdown early in the season as two peak performers from both conferences see each other in a box-office game. Here, the Kevin Durant and James Harden-led Brooklyn Nets battle it out versus Stephen Curry and Golden State Warriors. The Nets are second in the Eastern standings while the Warriors stand at the apex of the Western Conference with the best record of 11-2 in the league.
Warriors can shut teams off on both ends of the floor. With Curry at the helm, perimeter shooting is no joke as Jordan Poole is developing into a superb scorer. Wiggins provides consistent offense while Draymond Green leads the team in assists. Kevon Looney and Andre Iguodala are premier defensive guys while Damion Lee, Gary Payton, Nemanja Bjelica, and Otto Porter have had an impact off the bench.
Meanwhile, the Nets rely upon the services of James Harden and Kevin Durant, who can do pretty much everything on the offensive end. The Frontline is a little thin scoring-wise with no specialist Center but LaMarcus Aldrige has been decent. Joe Harris provides shooting, Bruce Brown defense, and Blake Griffin is a decent role player. Patty Mills is another shooter off the bench who has had both huge and underwhelming games.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Nets: Two stalwarts and sturdy defense
The Nets are among the middle in the league in terms of scoring with around 108 Points per game. The team is a strong defensive unit, limiting opponents to under 104 PPG and is top 10 in that regard. It is clear that the offense loses steam without Harden and Durant, but Patty has shown he can be handy every now and then. Can the Nets address the thin Center position going forward or is Aldridge enough?
Warriors: How do you stop them?
Warriors rank number one in points per game with around 115 PPG. To make the matters worse for opponents, the squad is also top-three in defense, allowing just around 101 PPG, which makes for a net difference of 14.0 as reflected by their overwhelming number of wins this season. All this has been done without “3 and D” superstar Klay Thompson. The team is already deep and slated for a big season barring further injuries.
