Draymond Green Pascal Siakam TOR vs GSW Dream11

TOR vs GSW Dream11: With COVID-19 extending its grip once again, the NBA world has been hit badly as well and has disrupted the rhythm set in November. In this game, the Golden State Warriors visit the Toronto Raptors in a West-East tussle. The Warriors have won 24 games and have lost only five. On the other hand, the Raptors are two games under the 50% win mark.

The Warriors continue to win whether they play at home or away. They are the most intimidating team in the league along with the Suns and can shut the shop for many teams. There is a question here if Steve Kerr will rest Curry, Wiggins, and Green but with the way the COVID-19 pandemic has hit, the reserves are running thin.

Raptors are an inconsistent team with a lot of promise. They have a solid core with Siakam, Anunoby, Trent Jr., and VanVleet, but the lack of bench depth has hurt them all season long. Still, Toronto has made sure that the squad doesn’t fall back too behind and shows more than decent fights on most nights.

Host: Toronto Raptors
Visitors: Golden State Warriors

Match Timing: 19 December, @ 05:30 AM
Venue: ScotiaBank Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Raptors: Lacking depth
Raptors have felt the loss of Anunoby deeply because it has culled the team depth further. Toronto has not been a deep team all season long and there is an underlying issue of starters playing 35+ minutes a game on a regular. Van Vleet, Barnes, Siakam, and Trent Jr. can dip in around 20 or so regularly but outside of them, the offense can falter big time. Toronto needs Anunoby back to achieve team balance but he may be gone for a long time. Can Yuta Watanabe spark something special off the bench?

Warriors: They can put on a clinic

What can I write about the Warriors that hasn’t been written… They are just too strong, too deep, and sometimes their performance level is out of a description box. Well, see, when you miss your superstar(Klay Thompson), high-producing Center(James Wiseman), and then recently your top-notch scorer(Jordan Poole), you can get fazed. This Warriors team doesn’t care about what injuries, COVID-19, or any other circumstances forced around them, they keep on the fight, they play hard on both ends and with Curry at the helm, oppositions run for cover but to no avail!
