DEN vs IND Dream11 Match Prediction

 

DEN vs IND Dream11: Indiana Pacers kick start their five-game Western Conference road-trip with a game against high-flying Denver Nuggets at Pepsi Center on Monday morning (IST). Pacers’ title credentials will be facing reality checks as they will be playing Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers as well. That said, the Pacers are one of the teams whose ceiling has gone a few notches above the expected levels. And that too when they are playing without their best player Victor Oladipo so far this season. Indiana arrives in this game on the back of the five-game winning run, last beating Minnesota Timberwolves 116-114 at home.
Denver Nuggets are also hot at the moment. They are second in the Western Conference coming into this game and are on a three-game winning run. The Nuggets have lost only four times in the last 19 games, and three in the last 10 matches.

Denver Nuggets vs Indiana Pacers team news:

Denver Nuggets: The Nuggets have some real issues in this department, as three key players have been ruled out due to injuries. Jamal Murry is out with an ankle injury, while Paul Millsap (knee injury) and Gary Harris (groin injury) are also out through injuries.

Indiana Pacers: Pacers remain without Victor Oladipo at the moment as he continues to recover from a knee surgery he had last year in March. Jeremy Lamb is a doubt for the clash against Nuggets with a hip injury and will be monitored before the game.

Grand League tips:

  • Nikola Jokic is leading the scoring for the Nuggets this season. The Big Serbian is also leading the team in rebounds as well. He guarantees points and should be the first player to consider for captain for both Dream11 Small League and Dream11 Grand League teams.
  • Domantas Sabonis is having an impact on both ends of the court. He is the most effective player for the Pacers at the moment.
  • With Jamal Murray out through injury, Will Barton should be considered from Nuggets.

Surely into football, kicked it for a while, and now beholding! Follows American sports, especially the NBA. And I believe Stephen Curry is under-rated as was Steven Gerrard.
