GSW vs TOR Dream11: In this inter-conference battle, the Golden State Warriors face off against the Toronto Raptors. The Warriors have been rolling this season and have won 14 out of the 16 games while the Raptors are a game under the 50% win record but have shown some grit throughout the season.
The Warriors present an intimidating backcourt with the league’s best shooter Curry coupled with a sturdy Poole. Wing Andrew Wiggins and big Forward Draymond are superb defenders and also keep the engine revving on the offensive end. Meanwhile, the Raptors have a high-scoring backcourt in Trent Jr. and VanVleet. At the wing, OG Anunoby provides around 20 points per game while Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam fill out the frontline with their versatility.
Host: Golden State Warriors Visitors: Toronto Raptors Match Timing: 22 November, @ 07:00 AM Venue: Chase Arena
Warriors: Title in their sights Golden State is the best team in the league right now. They stand at the top of various offensive and defensive metrics. The team allows just 41 rebounds per game while putting on 48 boards or more regularly. The Curry-led unit has done all this without its premier swingman Klay Thompson which is the most wonderful part of the current run. Can the Warriors win a title this season?
Toronto: Some issues to be ironed out Raptors have incredible depth at Forward position with Siakam and Barnes in the starting five while Achiuwa and Boucher come off the bench. The play by wing Anunoby has been admirable too while the backcourt of Trent Jr.-VanVleet can combine for 40 points regularly. The guard depth is suspect off the bench and that has meant that the PG to SF position has to play heavy minutes. How can the Raptors correct their ship late in the games?
