Tip-Off:

Trail Blazers host the 76ers on Sunday (03/11/2019) 7:30 AM IST at the Moda Center.

Dream Team Picks:

Point Guard:

1.Damian Lillard — Dame has been his confident self and his confident performances with 30+ scores in the first 3 games and 23 points and 11 assists in the previous game against OKC should count as sufficient stats to make him the “Star Player” for this game.

2. Ben Simmons — ‘Peacemaker’ Simmons has been quiet with the scoring so far. But his playmaking has been at its usual best. He is a must have in any fantasy pick with JoJo out. Simmons needs to step up to answer with buckets himself or dish out more dimes to Tobias & co. Simmons should be relieved after his questionable part in the Embiid vs KAT fight got him neither fines nor suspensions. The NBA termed Simmons’ role in the epic Embiid vs KAT fight as that of a ‘Peacemaker’. NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley jokingly called the incident a ‘Snuggle Party’ with no punches being thrown in the fight.

Shooting Guard:

1.Josh Richardson — Josh Richardson has gotten 30+ minutes in all 4 Sixers games so far. Josh’s offense hasn’t caught fire yet. His impact has been more on the defensive end in all 4.

2. Rodney Hood — Rodney Hood scored 20 points on Sunday against Dallas. Hood helped Blazers ice the game against the Thunder last game scoring two crucial 3 balls in the last quarter.

3. Kent Bazemore — Bazemore on the other hand, made his presence felt right from the start of the game. He answered Thunders buckets and helped the Blazers remain in the contest. Baze was all over the Thunder and impressively filled his stat sheet in every aspect.

4. Furkan Korkmaz — Furkan had an efficient night against the T’Wolves scoring 17 points and 2 assists with 3 three pointers in 22 minutes. Expect him to have added minutes today.

Small Forward:

Tobias Harris — It has been well noted this season that Tobias takes up the lead role whenever JoJo gets sidelined. So, we can expect Harris to do the heavy lifting versus the Blazers.

Power Forward:

1.Al Horford — Horford needs to fill the 76ers paint all over with Joel Embiid on suspension. Al is the veteran guiding this young team this season. His impact is all-round and he is much expected to deliver this game with solid paint protection.

2. Anthony Tolliver — Anthony Tolliver too will be burdened with additional minutes as Zach Collins is out and no one else to compete at this position.

Center:

Kyle O’quinn — There is no other notable center available. Kyle is the only option. Hassan Whiteside is a Game Time Decision. Whiteside will have restricted minutes nevertheless.

Probable Picks:

The below picks were selected based on the players’ performances from the last 4–5 games.
