Gary Payton III blocking Nikola Jokic DEN vs GSW Dream11

DEN vs GSW Dream11: The battle lines are drawn and the NBA Playoffs battle has heated up bringing us an array of results. In this game, the Golden State Warriors will take on the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference scenario. The Warriors have won the first two games and have upped the pressure on the Denver Nuggets.

Stephen Curry buried the Nuggets in Game 2 coming off the bench and a huge third quarter ensured that the Warriors pull up for a big win. As the onus on the Nuggets shifts, the Warriors will look to devour a series sweep here but Nikola Jokic is not known to give up the facade soon. Although, the Nuggets are down and out, the home-court advantage may change the complexion a bit for them.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Warriors live up to the billing

The Playoffs experience of Thompson, Curry, and Green has been a huge factor once again and the emerge of Poole only has bolstered the Warriors’ chances. The first two victories are symbolic of what we expect from the highly intriguing team and as of now, they are back in the title contention after a sub-par second half of the season. Finally, the lineup of Poole, Thompson, Curry, Wiggins, and Green has been wresting control early and giving the team a huge advantage.

The Nuggets have suffered mostly  because Aaron Gordon is yet to clip a high-yielding night and the Warriors have been able to limit Jokic, not allowing him to score 30 or so. Monte Morris can’t fill the void created by the absence of Jamal Murray and the Nuggets are sorely missing Michael Porter Jr, who makes life tough on the defensive end of the floor. What more can the Warriors accomplish here considering the Nuggets have been out of answers?

The Warriors have understood how to use the lineup of Poole, Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, and Green, and that small-ball unit brings two-way prowess while creating a disadvantageous situation by making tough shots and also bringing in a lot of hustle. Otto Porter Jr. fits well in the schemes and the Nuggets need a huge spark in this game.

Fantasy Related Tips

Jokic remains a powerful fantasy option but the Warriors have opened the floodgates. Poole and Curry both can be dependable high-yielding offensive options while Nuggets’ Gordon’s stocks have fallen a bit considering he is yet to hit the 10 points mark. Draymond Green continues to showcase his all-around prowess while Monte Morris is a decent filler. Will Barton has stuffed the stat-sheet but sustainability has been an issue all night long. It is also wise to gamble on Klay Thompson who knows to work the gears and you never know if he is up for a 30+ points night.
