MEM vs GSW Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors

MEM vs GSW Dream11: I am sure we are going to see even more close battels from here on as the intensity of the game and the will to win will only increase exponentially. We saw a couple of games where the road teams won and then a couple of games where the home teams captured the wins. In the first game, the road team Golden State Warriors pulled through versus the Memphis Grizzlies winning 117:116 in an exciting affair.

The First Game between the Grizzlies went down the wire and the last two minutes were highly intense as the Warriors kept on attacking the offensive rebounds and also played brilliant defense. Klay drained the last shot in the match, making a three that pulled the Warriors ahead but then also committed a turnover and missed two free throws, however, redeemed himself again as he denied Ja Morant a chance to win the game as he closed out on the lineup to finish the game.

Host: Memphis Grizzlies
Visitors: Golden State Warriors

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Another palatable affair?

The one thing that the Grizzlies were unable to do well late in Game 1 was taking advantage of the lack of size in terms of the Warriors. They kept giving Gary Payton II inside lanes and not only that the smaller lineup of the Warriors kept outrebounding the Grizzlies. The shot-selection of the Grizzlies was also not all that good and much of the action look forced.

The Grizzlies shot much better from the three-point line than they did against the Timberwolves, as they drained 16 triples on 40 attempts. However, the Warriors did a great job of closing out the Grizzlies from inside the perimeter. The rebounding battle was close for most parts but the Warriors were more aggressive on that end in the end as the Grizzlies let it a bit loose. 

The Warriors also did a great job of shooting the ball, shooting around 48% but they made two fewer threes than the Grizzlies. There is no doubt that it was the play of Jordan Poole when Curry and Thompson disappeared that kept the Warriors afloat. I believe the Grizzlies need to be more careful in letting the small-ball lineup of the Warriors get loose again.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks

Ja Morant(MEM)
Points: 34
Rebounds: 09
Assists: 10
Steals: 03
Ja was highly aggressive in the last game, clinching 14 out of 31 shots from the field and was the most effective option late in the game having an all-around impact. I believe he will be in 28-35 points, 8-11 rebounds/assists range. He can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 40-59

Stephen Curry(GSW)
Points: 24
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 04
Steals: 01
Steph missed some late-game shots but still compounded five out of 12 triples in the last game and will be a huge factor again. I expect a 22-28 points range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 32-44

Jaren Jackson Jr(MEM)
Points: 33
Rebounds: 10
Assists: 01
Blocks: 01
Jackson had his best game of the Playoffs in the last game, clicking on six of his nine triples while grabbing six offensive rebounds. I believe he will be in 16-22 points, 7-11 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 25-44

Desmond Bane(MEM)
Points: 09
Rebounds: 01
Assists: 01
Steals: 02
Bane shot just 1/5 from three in the last game and he will need to do much more here to help the Grizzlies sustain against the Warriors. I expect a 18-24 points range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-30

Jordan Poole(GSW)
Points: 31
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 09
Blocks: 02
Poole was impressive in the last game, shooting 12/20 in the last game, nailing five triples and being the most impactful offensive play for his team. I expect a 17-24 points range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 25-33

Draymond Green(GSW)
Points: 06
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 03
Steals: 03
Blocks: 01
Green got ejected in the last game but his teammates saved the day with a highly effective small-ball lineup. He will need to lodge more than 17 minutes and I expect him to be in 6-11 points, 4-7 rebounds, 5-8 assists, and 1-3 steals/blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 23-38

MEM vs GSW DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

• Klay Thompson(GSW) had 15 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 2 steals, 1 block in the last game. Off-guard Thompson made just three of his ten attempts from three but made some big plays. I expect a 14-22 points range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 24-36
  
• Dillon Brooks(MEM) had 8 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal in the last game. Wing Dillon has been highly inconsistent, shooting just 3/13 from the floor. I expect a 13-18 points range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 25-34
• Andrew Wiggins(GSW) had 17 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist in the last game. Wiggins was highly active in the last game, scrapping some late rebounds and keeping the Grizzlies guessing. I expect the wing to be in 14-19 points and 4-8 rebounds range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 18-29
• Brandon Clarke(MEM) had 12 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks in the last game. Brandon shot 4/6 in the last game and had a strong game, grabbing three offensive boards. I believe he will be in 11-16 points and 8-12 rebounds range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-42
  
• De’Anthony Melton(MEM) had 14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals in the last game. Melton didn’t receive minutes against the Wolves but had a strong 5/8 shooting night in the last game. I expect a 8-12 points and 3-6 rebounds range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-25
• Gary Payton II(GSW) had 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. Payton hit some big late shots and his activities on both ends helped the Warriors a lot. I expect a 6-10 points and 4-6 rebounds range here.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range:  6-18
• Kyle Anderson(MEM) had 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block in the last game. Anderson isn’t much of an offensive threat but can help out on defensive and rebounding end. I expect a 2-6 points and  3-5 rebounds range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 7-17
• Xavier Tillman(MEM) had 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal in the last game. Xavier is getting around 15 minutes and I expect a 2-4 points and 2-4 rebounds range here.

• Otto Porter Jr.(GSW) had 2 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals  in the last game. Forward Porter Jr. is a strong rebounder and he did bring his A-game in the Game 1. I believe he will be in 2-6 points, 4-8 rebounds, and 1-2 steals range.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 9-19
• Tyus Jones(MEM) had 2 points, 3 assists, 1 steal in the last game. Jones lost minutes to Melton in the last game so what will be his role here? I expect a 3-6 points and 2-4 assists range here.
