PHX vs GSW of Dream11: It’s finally here! The matchup we’ve all been waiting for between two of the league’s hottest teams right now. In a high-octane matchup, the Phoenix Suns will take on the Golden State Warriors. Is this the Western Conference Finals preview? Isn’t it a little early to say that?
The Suns have won 16 games in a row and are currently 17-3. If the club wins this game, it will tie Golden State for first place in the Western Conference with an 18-3 record. Phoenix has proven that its winning streak isn’t a fluke by defeating teams like the New York Knicks and the East’s best Nets on the road on consecutive nights.
The Warriors have been on fire all season, losing only two games in a 40-45 day span while winning the majority of their games by more than ten points. Golden State has ascended to the top of the Western Conference, but they will face the Suns, who are riding a 16-game winning streak away from home, in what could be their biggest test of the season.
Host: Phoenix Suns
Visitors: Golden State Warriors
Match Timing: 1 December, @ 08:30 AM
Venue: Footprint Center
NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Phoenix: Elite combinations
When Paul is in charge of ball handling, you can expect 10-15 assists on a regular basis, whereas Devin Booker is averaging 30 points per game these days. In most games, Ayton can bring you 15 points and 10-15 rebounds in the centre, while Bridges has developed into an excellent defender who can chip in with 10-15 points. The Suns can put up 110-120 points while playing excellent defence with Cameron Johnson, Cameron Payne, and Landry Shamet off the bench.
Warriors: Well-versed in all regards
Here, the Warriors have produced a high-quality season. They are the top offensive club in the league, averaging approximately 115 points per game and scoring 110-120 in the majority of games. Being at the top of defensive efficiency that is under 100, the team doesn’t give you a chance on defence. On the whole, the Warriors are intimidating on both sides of the court. Curry can put up 30 points in a flash, Poole and Wiggins consistently score 17-22 points, Green is a force on both ends, and Otto Porter Jr. has scored 10 points or more in recent games. The Warriors are loaded, and they’ve done it all without superstar Klay Thompson or rookie sensation James Wiseman.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks
Devin Booker(PHX)
Points: 30
Rebounds: 01
Assists: 04
If Chris Paul is the Floor General, Devin Booker is the offensive brigades in this squad. The guard has regained his rhythm big-time. The guard has scored 30 or more in three straight games now.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 48-60
Stephen Curry(GSW)
Points: 33
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 06
Steals: 06
The scary thing about Steph has not been his scoring, we know he is someone who has averaged around 30 points before. It is his defense that has given the Warriors an immense boost, he had 6 steals in the last game but it is much more than that, he fights through screens and closes out well at the perimeter. He can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 47-70
Chris Paul (PHX)
Points: 22
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 05
Chris Paul is a magician with the ball. He is number three on the all-time list of assists. The guard has continued to average around 14 points and 10 assists per game and is one of the key reasons why the Suns are on ascendancy right now.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-49
Draymond Green(GSW)
Points: 08
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 07
Steals: 02
Green is one of the best if not the best big forward passers the game has seen. His defense also deserves a mention and he makes this Warriors the squad it is right now, tight-knit at both ends of the floor. Expect 8-12 rebounds and assists every two games from him.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-44
Andrew Wiggins(GSW)
Points: 12
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 01
Blocks: 02
Steals: 01
Wiggins has provided some much-needed production at the wing position. He has breached the 25+ points regularly this season and remains one of the best defenders in this team, getting his hands at 1 or 2 steals or blocks almost every game.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-37
Deandre Ayton(PHX)
Points: 10
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 00
Deandre Ayton is one of the most reliable bigs in the league. Like last season, he is on his way to average a double-double(15+ points, 11+ rebounds a game). Deandre has grabbed 13 or more rebounds in two of the last four matches while scoring 16 or more twice in that window.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-45
