OKC vs DEN Dream11 Match Prediction

 

OKC vs DEN Dream11: It’s an All-Western Conference matchup in the NBA as Oklahoma City Thunder entertain Denver Nuggets at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Saturday morning (IST). The Thunder have exceeded expectations this season as they are sitting comfortably in the Western Conference playoff positions, holding a positive return on the season despite missing the likes of Russell Westbrook and Paul George in the off-season.
With a 38-17 record this season, Denver Nuggets are sitting second in the Western Conference heading into this match. They lost the last game to the Los Angeles Lakers, so Nikola Jokic and Co must be extra motivated to return to winning ways here.

Grand League tips:

• Nikola Jokic is surely the best bet in this game. He is leading the Nuggets in points, and rebounds per game this season. He is a complete package due to his two-way approach. We advise you to go with him as your captain in Dream11 Small League teams, while he is good to go as captain in at least two Grand League teams.
• Chris Paul has had some monsters games this season, so you never know if this is that game where he comes into this own.
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the leading scorer for the Thunder this season. He must be considered in Grand Leagues.
• Players like Jamal Murray, Dennis Schroder and Danilo Gallinari are too good to miss out as well.
