POR VS NYK Dream11
POR vs NYK Dream11: Two teams struggling for form and consistency this season, will bump into each other as Portland Trail Blazers host to the Eastern Conference outfit New York Knicks at Moda Center. Both the teams arrive in this game with a poor record, and even poorer for the Knicks who have lost the last nine games going into this game.
Match details:
Teams: Portland Trail Blazers vs New York Knicks
Venue: Moda Center
Match Timing: December 11, @08:30 AM
———————————————————————————————————
Damian Lillard: The 28-year-old superstar should be you the unanimous choice in the small league in this particular game. He arrives as the only player with an average of more than 25 points per game. He is averaging 26.7 points per game.
CJ McCollum: He has averaged 23.0 points per game in the last 10 matches. He must be in your Dream11 team.
Marcus Morris: He is the leading scorer for the Knicks this season. Can be a game-changer and can be a value for money as well.
Julius Randle: The second best player for the Blazers this season, in terms of points per game (16.7), but perhaps with the most impact if you consider his rebound collection per game (8.6).
The likes of Hassa Whiteside and Carmelo Anthony from Portland and RJ Barrett from the Knicks can be the game-changer.
———————————————————————————————————
Portland Trail Blazers: For the Blazers, there is no latest injury problem from the last game. That means Zach Collins (shoulder injury), Jusuf Nurkic (leg injury) and Rodney Hood (leg injury) are the usual injury absentees.
New York Knicks: The Knicks remain without two first-team players in the form of Wayne Ellington (Achilles Tendon injury) and Reggie Bullock (neck injury). No other injury problems for the visiting team.
Knicks had both Elfrid Payton (hamstring injury) and Damyean Dotson (finger injury) listed on their injury list before the game against Indiana Pacers, but the duo featured in that match. It means both are back to their 100% fitness.

Damian Lillard should be the only option if you are playing a Small League, and he is the safest option for the Grand Leagues.
But if you are prepared for the risk, consider Hassan Whiteside and CJ McCollum from Portland and Julius Randle and Marcus Morris from Knicks.
Take at least two from Carmelo Anthony, Anfernee Simons, Dameyean Dotson, Skal Labissiere, while choosing Randle over McCollum could be better.
