NYK vs BKN Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets

NYK vs BKN Dream11: Hey NBA lovers! Sadly, the NBA Regular Season is just going to dust off in a few days and I have heard fans say that the Regular Season means nothing, but hey, how else do you think these teams arrive at the Postseason? A below-par Regular Season means you can’t go to the Playoffs and at the end of the Playoffs success determines is what keeps the major fanbases happy. That hasn’t been the case for the New York Knicks a team that has indeed been below-par all season long. They will host the Brooklyn Nets here.

The Knicks have been knocked out of the Play-in tournament quite a while ago and their sights will be set on the offseason with a lot of decisions to make. The team can build around RJ Barrett next season. On the other hand, the Nets have been in the Play-in tournament contention, and are in a tight battle for the eighth spot against the Hawks. No matter where they finish, the duo of Irving and Durant will fancy making it to the First Round of the Playoffs at least.

Host: New York Knicks

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Knicks come in this game after beating the Magic 118:88 as Barrett had another strong

While Barrett had a strong night, he has some issues to sort out when it comes to his shot selection. The Knicks have been struggling with the shooting efficiency all season long and the decision to bring in the veteran guard duo of Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier didn’t pay off in the slightest. As of now, the team is troubled with various questions and there are rumors that Julius Randle can be traded in the offseason as Randle’s relationship with the fanbase crumbled this season.

Immanuel Quickley has proven to be a strong Guard option off the bench but he has a lot of issues to sort. The Knicks will need to bring in a two-way Point Guard who can shoot from outside during the next season or hope Quickley develops into one. Burks has been playing much better than earlier but he may not be the long-term answer either. Mitchell Robinson has had a solid season as a rebounder and defender but they need someone who can put up a bunch of points.

The Nets defeated the Rockets 118:105 as Kyrie Irving popped off for a 42 points night at home

The Nets have still some work to do in the short period remaining in the season. They will need to finish at the eighth slot at least. They will be still in contention for the First Round of the Playoffs and even if they end up at the ninth position, the Nets can notch a Playoffs spot considering how strong they are with Durant and Irving. Defense can be an issue at times but you’d believe the team will up the intensity during the Playoffs.

The Nets lost their way when Kevin Durant was sidelined for multiple months and Kyrie remained ineligible to play during home games. However, the duo can get it done on the offensive end in numerous ways but they will still need some strong support from Seth Curry, Bruce Brown, Andre Drummond, and the bench. The team doesn’t look like a deep Playoffs roster as of now but who knows what the sturdy duo can accomplish during the Postseason!
