LAC vs LAL Dream11: The NBA Regular Season is on and once again, we are blessed with a long line of high-quality action that is bound to produce memories. To add to the lore, the Los Angeles Clippers will take on the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Clippers had perhaps their best win of the season when they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 119:117 behind Paul George’s 26 points effort. Meanwhile, the Lakers did another underwhelming service to their perturbed fanbase, losing 116:139 to the Utah Jazz in another poor effort to continue a rather embarrassing season.

Clippers: Too much dependency on Paul George
The Clippers have not been clinical thus far but they defeated a top-quality Cavs squad late in the game after being down for most of the deciding quarter. The biggest concern for the team has been the over-reliance upon Paul George who has been having another star-level season, he has had to do a lot because Clippers’ two-way Superstar Kawhi Leonard has been again absent due to injury. The Clippers haven’t received much from their role players but Norman Powell, Reggie Jackson, and Terance Mann seem to be getting back in the groove while Marcus Morris has gotten it done. Ivica Zubac has left deep imprints upon the game as a rebounder, help-defender and paint-scorer.
Lakers: What a tough start again
The Lakers keep repeating the habits of last season. They give up big leads, have no depth to make a comeback, and play just awful basketball on both ends. Now they can’t just blame Russell Wstbrook, it is like the whole unit has lost the zip. Lonnie Walker IV after some strong games has displayed inconsistencies. LeBron James has had his big numbers but frankly, something has been missing from his game. Anthony Davis has been amazing as a defender but he can’t alone carry that side of one of the worst defensive sides in the league at this point. and also one of the worst long-range teams.

Anthony Davis(LAL) Points: 29 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 02 Steals: 01 Blocks: 01 Big Forward Davis has been one of the best defenders while supplying a strong dose of scoring and rebounding. I believe he will be in 20-28 points, 10-14 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks/steals range. He can be chosen as the Star/Pro Player in the Dream11 NBA scene.
Paul George(LAC) Points: 26 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 03 Steals: 01 PG-13 has been getting it done on both ends of the floor and he is the heart and soul of the Clippers’ attack. I believe he will be in 25-33 points, 6-9 rebounds, and 5-8 assist range.
LeBron James(LAL) LeBron missed the last game but when he plays, he of course doesn’t hold back as a scorer, rebounder, and a playmaker. I believe he will be in 25+ points, 7-11 rebounds, and 6-9 assists range.
Ivica Zubac(LAC) Points: 10 Rebounds: 09 Assists: 00 Blocks: 01 Steals: 01 Center Zubac has been one of the best rebounders and a strong shot-blocker in the early parts of the season. I believe he will be in 11-15 points, 10-13 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks range.
Reggie Jackson(LAC) Points: 18 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 07 After some off-nights, Reggie turned it around in the last game and enjoyed a ton of success. I believe he will be in 14-19 points and 5-8 assists range.
Russell Westbrook (LAL) Points: 22 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 05 Blocks: 01 Steals: 01 Guard Westbrook is an all-around threat who has rediscovered his touch coming off the bench. I believe he will be in 17-23 points, 6-9 assists, and 5-8 rebounds range.
LAC vs LAL Dream11 Lineup Balancers
(If Davis plays) PG: R Jackson, R Westbrook SG: P George(SP), A Reaves SF: N Powell, T Brown PF: M Morris C: A Davis(PP)
