Two teams from the same conference with a lot of firepowers will close on in against each other. In this game, Chicago Bulls will fight it out versus the Brooklyn Nets. More about CHI vs BKN Dream11 such as injury report, stats, and projected fantasy points will be given here.
Bulls lost the last two games against the Sixers and it was their offense that suffered a lot. While LaVine and DeRozan looked in their usual self, the rest of the lineup didn’t turn up with much. Nikola Vucevic has struggled to shoot so far while the bench with the exception of Alex Caruso hasn’t shown much. These issues have become glaring especially since the injury to Patrick Williams who helped the team on both ends of the floor. The Bulls have been missing his energy and how will they counter a mighty and red-hot Nets team?
Brooklyn Nets have won five in a row and much of it has been on the backs of Harden and Durant. However, in the last two games, Blake Griffin has also been having great offensive outings. Patty Mills gives this team much-needed depth at the guard position. Joe Harris supplies elite three-point shooting while veteran Aldridge has been decent in spurts. Even Bruce Brown has done a great job recently in giving the team some much-needed two-way production.

Zach LaVine (CHI) Points: 32 Rebounds: 09 Assists: 03 Zach with his rack attack can pulverize defenses. Apart from being athletic, LaVine is an incredible shooter who has developed into a high-octane offensive player. He comes off a big scoring night and has averaged 26.4 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 4.2 APG so far. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 37-56
Bruce Brown (BKN) Points: 12 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 02 Steals: 02 Bruce is making the starting spot his own and has turned up with some impressive performances recently.

Lonzo Ball(CHI) Points: 08 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 05 Steals: 01 Lonzo is a solid presence in the backcourt who can help stretch the floor with his shooting. Ball also supplies playmaking and rebounding, complementing the other two parts of the starting line-up in a well-versed manner. He is averaging 11.9 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 4.6 APG so far. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-36
Blake Griffin(BKN) Points: 14 Rebounds: 11 Assists: 03 Griffin has finally seemed to gain some rhythm and turned up with a double-double in the last game. He has now scored 14, 13 in the last two games after a number of single-digit games to start the season. The Forward is shooting 32.5% from the floor so far this season but shot better than 55% in the last two games. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 13-29
Nikola Vucevic(CHI) Points: 11 Rebounds: 11 Assists: 02 While Nikola has shown an all-around game, his efficiency level is not similar to last season. He is shooting 38% from the floor and continues to struggle from three, shooting a mere 1/7 in the last match. He is averaging 13.4 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 4.2 APG though he is shooting just 39%. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 32-38
Joe Harris(CHI) Points: 11 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 02 Harris is playing an important role in this Nets lineup as the floor-spreader. Joe has been averaging 11.3 PPG so far and has shot 40.3% from the long-range which is impressive. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-26
Alex Caruso(BKN) Points: 09 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 04 Steals: 01 Caruso is an energy bunny off-the-bench who can provide a lot of hustle on the defensive end while being a decent playmaker. Alex was let go by the Lakers in the offseason, a decision that surprised many fans and experts alike, and has been made to look strange with each game by Caruso. He is averaging 2.3 SPG so far this season. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 29-40
