LAC vs DET Dream11: The NBA Regular Season has been on an amazing note and we have seen a lot of sides flip the script. There are a lot of variations throughout the season as the action goes on in about 3/4 of the year. In the another game of the Regular Season, the Los Angeles Clippers are going to take on the Detroit Pistons.
The Clippers faced a heart-wrenching loss against the Mavs as a late Luka Doncic three buried them to a 101:103 loss despite a 23 points performance by Paul George. They have won eight and lost seven games. The Pistons come into this game after losing 111:115 against the Toronto Raptors despite a 21 points outing by Jaden Ivey. The Pistons have won just three in 15 matches. Host: LA Clippers Visitors: Detroit Pistons Match Timing: 18 November, @ 09:00 AM Venue: crypto.com Arena
Clippers: George carrying the weight again
Not having Kawhi Leonard has once again hurt the Clippers, especially on the offensive end. They have done a great job on the defensive end but only Paul George has been the consistent threat offensively which also makes for predictable offensive sets. Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell have performed below-par whereas John Wall can’t be expected to turn back the clock. Marcus Morris has given decent minutes whereas Ivica Zubac has been doing a strong rebounding job but isn’t an assertive scorer. The Clippers are one of the best defensive teams but one of the worst offensive teams at the same time, which their record indicates.
Pistons: Same old story, losses piling up
The Pistons have once again started the season with a ton of losses and the harsh rebuild looks harsher with each day. They did get a big pick-up Jaden Ivey during the Draft and he is an all-around threat, complementing Cade Cunningham, who himself has a long way to go. Bojan Bogdanovic has been the long-ball threat whereas Saddiq Bey hasn’t shown bigger upgrades thus far, struggling to shoot from distance. Isaiah Stewart has been solid whereas Jalen Duren has shown a lot of promise. Overall, Detroit is in for another 20-25% win season and this will be another long season. Will this help them land Victor Wembayanama next season?

Jaden Ivey(DET) Points: 21 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 08 Steals: 01 Guard Ivey has shown a lot of poise as a rookie and he has gotten it done in other areas too. I believe he will be in 18-24 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 4-6 assists range. He can be chosen as the Star/Pro Player in the Dream11 Fantasy NBA scene.
Paul George(LAC) Points: 23 Rebounds: 07 Assists: 06 Steals: 02 George is a spectacular two-way player and has enabled the Clippers to have a 50%+ win record thus far. I believe he will be in 22-28 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 4-6 assists range. He is QUESTIONABLE.
Bojan Bogdanovic(DET) Points: 18 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 05 Wing Bojan is a phenomenal shooter whose efficiency has been sky-high, giving the Pistons an offensive boost. I believe he will be in 19-26 points and 4-6 rebounds range here.
Ivica Zubac(LAC) Points: 03 Rebounds: 07 Assists: 04 Blocks: 02 Zubac’s production has fallen a bit after an outburst as he started the season as a beautiful rebounder and shot-blocker. I believe he will be in 10-14 points, 10+ rebounds, and 1-3 blocks range.
John Wall(LAC) Points: 17 Rebounds: 06 Assists: 04 Steals: 01 Guard John Wall has been doing a great job off-the-bench as a playmaker and a decent scorer. I believe he will be in 12-16 points and 4-7 assists range.
Marvin Bagley III (DET) Points: 16 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 00 Steals: 01 Power Forward Bagley has been just back for two games and he is a superb rim-runner and rebounder. I believe he will be in 12-16 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
