OKC vs DEN Dream11 Team Prediction: Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for OKC vs DEN Basketball

OKC vs DEN Dream11 Team Prediction:

The NBA season is in risk due to a mix of COVID-19 and injuries, but the league continues to crank out games, so we’ll see how far the carnival goes. In any case, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets will face off in an inter-conference matchup. The Thunder are much below 50%, but they have beaten two tough opponents in a row, while the Nuggets have one more win than defeats.

The Thunder have recently demonstrated late-game power, defeating two in-form opponents in the final minute. It reflects the character of this young team, which has battled on both sides of the court. Thunder, perhaps, will avoid the cursed COVID-19 threat.

Of course, the Nuggets have fought hard as well, led by current MVP Nikola Jokic, who continues to demonstrate his all-around talent. Despite missing two of their players, the Denver Nuggets have demonstrated that they can compete. Aaron Gordon and Monte Morris have also shown their worth.

Host: Oklahoma City Thunder
Visitors: Denver Nuggets
Match Timing: 23rd December, @ 06:30 AM
Venue: Chesapeake Energy Arena

NBA forecasts, statistics, and analysis

Thunder:

Josh Giddey has bucked the preconceived notions about first-year players. He’s shown off his all-around abilities, improved his shooting, and shown some defensive promise. The Thunder can develop something great if they bolster the Frontline by next season.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has finally received some help in the backcourt, and with Dort on the wing, the Thunder can develop something extraordinary. In terms of potential, the Thunder have demonstrated a willingness to fight and have recently played some terrific basketball.

Nuggets:

Aaron Gordon forms a formidable two-way pairing with Nikola Jokic and when Michael Porter Jr. went down, it looked like the team will get hurt on both ends. Well, yes, they did get hurt on the defensive end but have stayed afloat on the offensive end.

Jeff Green has also helped recently with some 20 points nights. Credit to Monte Morris as well who has raised his scoring while role players like Facundo Campazzo and Bones Hyland give depth to the guard off-spot as of late. Seems like Will Barton’s injury has been bothering him lately as his production has been a tad down but the springy guard remains an important component of the Nuggets’ schemes on both ends.

Fantasy Basketball Top Picks

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander(OKC)
Points: 23
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 04
Steals: 03
Shai has been exceptional at the point guard position for the Thunder squad whose presence helps the team mount up an effective scoring unit. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored in the 19-27 points range and has dished 4-6 assists on a regular basis this season.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 38-51

Nikola Jokic(DEN)
Points: 20
Rebounds: 10
Assists: 07
Steals: 03
Jokic continues to propel his Nuggets team on his shoulder and has been terrific once again this season. The reigning MVP can chip in 20-28 points, 10-15 rebounds, 6-12 assists on a consistent basis. If he plays then for me at least, he is the favorite for the Star-Player in the Dream11 NBA scene.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 50-65

Josh Giddey(OKC)
Points: 19
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 11
Steals: 01
Rookie Josh has already become one of the most effective all-around players in the league and it is clear that the Thunder has drafted the right player. The scintillating rookie has improved his scoring since early in the season and you can expect 5-10 rebounds and 6-12 assists a game from him.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-40

Monte Morris(DEN)
Points: 21
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 02
Monte has multiplied his output as the season has moved ahead and that is one of the biggest reasons why the Nuggets have remained competitive. Morris is scoring in the 15-22 points range these days.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-38

Lugeuntz Dort(OKC)
Points: 12
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 01
Steals: 01
Blocks: 01
Dort is one of the main options on offense and I have noticed a strange pattern with his scoring. He has scored in the 20s then has stuffed a couple of games in 10s way too many times, which means his scoring range is fluctuating each game.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 32-40

Aaron Gordon(DEN)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 03
Aaron has leveled up his play since the injury to Michael Porter Jr. and has had some strong offensive outings. Aaron has compiled 16 points in three of the last four games.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-41
