Dream 11 Fantasy tips and predictions
Giannis recorded 33 points in the in over the Hawks and was helped by Eric Bledsoe, who racked up 28.
The pair should be the leading scorers for the Bucks again, and it will be interesting to see what the Trail Blazers.
CJ McCollum will have his hands full in trying to get one over the Bucks. Anthony will also have to step up on Thursday, but they need more players to step up.
Point guards
Bledsoe recorded 28 points, five assists and seven rebounds in the win over the Hawks and is the selected player for this position.
Shooting guards
The lack of Lillard from the line-up opens up the chances to select other players. Donte DiVincenzo has been excellent this season for the Bucks and scored 11 points in his previous outing.
Two Blazers stars join this side with Rodney Hood and McCollum paired.
McCollum is the best bet for a lot of points from the Blazers but Hood can also score some important points.
Small forwards
Kent Bazemore came off the bench to score 11 points in the loss against the Pelicans. He would need to put up more than that if his side want to beat the Bucks.
Power forwards
Anthony should be selected for this position but all eyes will be on Giannis.
The Greek has been incredible since last season, and should be the star of the game.
Centers
Robin Lopez is the option for this position. The Bucks star comes in handy off the bench and could get some decent points and rebounds.
Star player
Giannis is the only option for the star player with Lillard’s absence.
Prediction
It would have been a great match-up if Lillard was fit but without the Trail Blazers star, this has a Bucks win written all over.
