The NBA Preseason acts as a practicing ground for athletes to get their legs back before the regular season. In this game, the Golden State Warriors host the Portland Trailblazers in the first game. More about GSW vs POR Dream11 will be given below.
The combinations during the NBA Preseason are odd as coaches give practice time to the deep bench too. It means one can never determine how many minutes a player will play on average even if the player is a superstar.
Talking about the Warriors, the team didn’t make any major roster overhauls. Well, they don’t need to anyway. The team has sharpshooting bombers in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. The team did bring Andre Iguodala back but other than that, it was a silent offseason for the Warriors. Andrew Wiggins got vaccinated and it means they can field a full-strength roster barring injury.
Meanwhile, the Trailblazers also are giving to give another chance to Lillard and McCollum’s backcourt duo. The team did bring Larry Nance Jr. who brings hustle. Portland also signed Norman Powell to an extension and it will be interesting what kind of team they will bloom into
