POR vs NOP Dream11 NBA Fantasy Trailblazers vs Pelicans 17 March

Trailblazers vs Pelicans Fantasy NBA: The Portland Trailblazers will enter the game after losing to the Timberwolves by 2 points despite a 38 points eruption by Damian Lillard. On the other hand, the New Orleans Pelicans will hit the floor after beating the Clippers rallying around a 27 points outing by Zion Williamson. More information about POR vs NOP Dream11 will be given here.

Trailblazers’ season: Portland has missed C.J. McCollum for major parts of the season but has still kept their season afloat courtesy of Damian Lillard and the emergent guard Gary Trent, who have received help from veterans in Carmelo and Enes Kanter. Trailblazers will be buoyed once C.J. returns but will like to keep the record going until then.

Pelicans’ season: New Orleans is in rebuilding mode, and there is not a better young player than Zion Williamson to build around. They also have Brandon Ingram who continues to shine and give them quality on the offensive end regularly. Pelicans are 11th in the NBA standings for the Western Conference which means they are out of the Playoffs bracket so far.

Dame Dolla has done a remarkable job of carrying the Trailblazers all season long and has more than made up for the absence of C.J. McCollum. His scoring and playmaking skills have aided Portland to be one of the most potent offenses in the league and he can even be considered as a contender for the MVP award.

Zion Williamson
PPG: 25.5
RPG: 7.0
APG: 3.4
TPG: 2.5
PFP: 43
Zion’s body and flexibility aid him to terrorize his opponents and he is a nightmare to defend. He is dominating teams in only his second year and he can be a future MVP if he develops in the current trajectory. He has notched 20+ points in the last 17 games.

Brandon Ingram

RPG: 5.1
