DEN vs LAC Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers

DEN vs LAC Dream11: Hello NBA fans! Thanks again for tuning in! Let me ask you, how has the fantasy scenario been treating you, you click on some obvious choices but in the NBA, you can never be sure who puts on a fierce rally as we are talking about professional athletes after all. There are a lot of dynamics that shape the way these battles are played so yes, an article of this nature can only tap into some aspects. Let us jump into the match-up between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers

Nuggets have done a great job under the leadership of Nikola Jokic but there is a certain lack of depth without Porter Jr. and Murray and that is why the team is in a tight race for the sixth spot at the time versus the Timberwolves.

Meanwhile, the Clippers have lost their way recently which is understandable since they are playing without their two superstars. Their season hasn’t been terrible as they have still withstood various flurries and the veteran unit has done a decent job overall.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Match-ups

The toughest match-up when going against the Nuggets is surely containing Nikola Jokic and Ivica Zubac will have to be at his best to neutralize the advantage. The other match-ups are more well-rounded. At the guard position, Reggie Jackson can extract advantage over Monte Morris while Terance Mann and Luke Kennard will be up against Bones Hyland and Austin Rivers, another match-up where they can also make some hay. The wing Forward match-up is evenly placed and Gordon and Barton for Nuggets will have to tackle Batum, Morris, and Covington, defensively, Covington gives an added advantage to the Clippers.

On the other hand, the bench unit for the Clippers has done a decent job and they have certainly more versatility but Bones Hyland has done a decent job off the bench too. In the frontline, DeMarcus Cousins and JaMychal Green will go up against Isaiah Hartenstein and Covington, another evenly placed match-up, overall, the match-ups are intriguing and for the Clippers, neutralizing Jokic will be essential.
