LAC vs MEM Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for LA Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies

LAC vs MEM Dream11: COVID-19 has done its fair damage to the day-to-day lives of people and well, the athletes have faced a multitude of challenges ever since they have had to face waves after waves. A tough testing regime and a brutal quarantine window have disrupted the rhythm of many teams but the league has ensured that the action keeps going on and that is why we are here!

And we are here to discuss the Western Conference tussle between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies. Clippers have 19 wins and 20 losses whereas the Grizzlies have been on fire with 26 wins and 14 losses. Well, with the way things are going, the Grizzlies look like they will have a stronger finish than the Clippers.

The Clippers have been playing without Kawhi Leonard all season long and now their second superstar in Paul George hasn’t been playing. That means there top two major scorers and defenders are out that is why their record is not surprising at all. Still, with some veteran players, they have done a decent job of staying competitive.
The Grizzlies have won eight in a row and they have emphatic ever since December. This is a remarkable turnaround from late November when they had around 50% wins and now the team has made huge strides defensively. Memphis has beaten elite teams on the way to this impressive streak.

Host: Los Angeles Clippers
Visitors: Memphis Grizzlies

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Clippers: Need more from Mann, Bledsoe, and Ibaka
Marcus Morris has been the major scorer for the Clippers and his 20+ outings prove that he is the go-to option on the offensive end. On the other hand, Reggie Jackson continues to pour in 15+ points but his efficiency has been significantly hit. Mann, Ibaka, and Batum have not gone past 10 points as much as they should, which has hurt the offensive production significantly while the makeshift bench composed of Winslow, Coffey, and Brandon Boston has been inconsistent too. Overall, the Clippers are craving some consistency in terms of efficiency and this is time that Mann, Bledsoe, and Ibaka give more on the offensive end.

Grizzlies: Are they in for something special?
What has made the Grizzlies winning run impressive since December has been that they have beaten elite teams like the Suns and Nets, making sure that their run is not considered a fluke. Their offense was effective at the beginning of the season but it is their defense that has helped them eke out wins after wins. Memphis can employ Ja Morant as a 25+ points isolation threat, use Desmond Bane in pick and roll scenarios along with Adams, plus Brandon Clarke, Kyle Anderson, Tyus Jones, DeAnthony Melton make for a strong bench as some of these players can start for other teams. The Grizzlies are deep, they have found clarity regarding roles as the season has gone on and their defense has improved significantly.

Ja has been having another fantastic scoring season and well, his rebounding, playmaking, and defense have also been effective.

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 39-53

Reggie Jackson(LAC)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 04
Jackson is a much-needed player for the Clippers at the one guard spot and his ability to break down defenses in isolation situations make him a brilliant scorer. Reggie has scored in the 15-19 points range mostly but I feel he may need to go past 20 more often for Clippers to win more.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-38

Dillon Brooks (MEM)
Points: 18
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 05
Steals: 03

LAC vs MEM DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

• Serge Ibaka(LAC) had 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block in the last game. While it is true that Ibaka has now moved towards the twilight of his career, with Zubac out, 6-9 points and 5-8 rebounds range look possible.
• Jaren Jackson Jr(MEM) had 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal in the last game. Jaren’s scoring is down since mid-December but he can still notch 10-15 points and grab 5+ reboounds, 1+ block on a regular basis.
