Portland Trail Blazers face a penultimate game of their season as they host Golden State Warriors in Game-4 of the Western Conference finals at Moda Center, in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday morning (IST).

Blazers had as many as 19 points lead but Stephen Curry led the fightback with his game-high 36 efforts. Draymond Green had a triple-double with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists.

Players to watch out for: (Captain options)

Portland Trail Blazers:

Damian Lillard – Rather subdued performances from him in this series, which has come as a big shock considering how he has been playing of late. Warriors’ two players strategy on him has certainly got the better of him, but he is too good a player to not have a weapon for that cage.

Expect him to come good here:

Golden State Warriors:

Stephen Curry – The greatest shooter of all time is back to his best. Warriors were labelled as dead and buried when Kevin Durant left the court with an injury, but his absence saw Curry’s re-emergence.

Portland Trail Blazers Team News:

• Portland have no fresh injury concerns ahead of this match. Though they continue to be without their first choice Center Jusuf Nurkic. The 24-year-old is out from the rest of the playoff season.

• Portland was cruising along as Enes Kanter was having a blast until the Golden State Warriors showed up. Now his absence can be felt as Blazers are trying new combo to get the best out of their players.
• Meyers Leonard started the last game with Kanter’s time being restricted to just 17 minutes. The former could be given another start here after his unexpected show in the last match.

———————————————————————————————–

Golden State Warriors Team News:

• Kevin Durant is still not fully recovered from the calf injury he suffered in Game-5 against Houston Rockets. The two-time NBA finals MVP will be watching the game from the treatment room.
• Another big name player on Warriors’ injury list is DeMarcus Cousins. The league’s true big man has been out since suffering a thigh injury in Game-2 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
• Another possible absentee for the Dubs could be the old-guard Andre Iguodala who seemed to suffer a calf injury in the last match. He will be monitored before the match.

GSW vs POR Dream11 Teams (Starting Lineup; Probables):

• Portland Trail Blazers: Maurice Harkless (F), Al-Farouq Aminu (F), Meyers Leonard (C), Damian Lillard (G), CJ McCollum (G)
• Golden State Warriors: Draymond Green (F), Andre Iguodala (F), Damian Jones / Kevon Looney (C), Stephen Curry (G), Klay Thompson (G)

• Golden State Warriors: Kevon Looney, Shaun Livingston, Jonas Jerebko, Alfonzo McKinnie, Quinn Cook, Jordan Bell, Andrew Bogut

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

Golden State Warriors’ defence was impeccable in the second half of Game-3. For a reason, this Warriors team seem to be playing more as a unit in the absence of Kevin Durant. We back the Dubs to kill this series in this match.
