The unpredictable NBA Preseason is here and the results here have no bearing on the capacities of a team. In this game, Los Angeles Clippers will fight it out versus Denver Nuggets. More about LAC vs DEN Dream11 will be given below.
Preseason games can throw varied combinations as coaches test out bench players. Predicting combinations for the game becomes tricky as, like Summer League, players are rested and given minutes on a game-to-game basis.
The Clippers have hit huge strides in the past season and almost reached an arm’s length to the NBA Finals before Kawhi got injured. In the offseason, they didn’t pursue big names but added Justise Winslow to bolster their defense. The team also brought back Eric Bledsoe who can be helpful come playoff time. Primarily, the team will pray for the health of George and Leonard.
The Nuggets also didn’t make any major overhauls and why should they! Jokic is coming off an MVP year, Michael Porter Jr. is reaching an All-Star level, and when healthy, Jamal Murray pours fire. The Nuggets could have gone the distance last season if Jamal didn’t get injured. The team did clasp Jeff Green who can bring veteran talent to the squad.

Michael Porter Jr. The youngster is yet to show his full potential and has already become a scoring and rebounding machine.
