LAL vs BOS Dream11

Lakers vs Celtics Fantasy NBA: The Los Angeles Lakers will enter the game after beating the Hornets behind a 24 points outing by Kyle Kuzma. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics will hit the floor after beating the Trailblazers rallying around a 32 points outburst by Jayson. More details about LAL vs BOS Dream11 will be given here.

Lakers’ season: Lakers have been hit by an injury with their two legendary players LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who have been sidelined. In their absence, Schroeder and Kuzma have stepped up to the plate with both of them increasing their scoring and other skills to help the Lakers for winning some wins. Lakers have been down and out but they are not done, they have beaten some strong teams and because of that still are placed 5th in the NBA Standings for Western Conference.

Celtics’ season: Celtics should have a better record because their roster make-up has dynamic scorers in Tatum, Brown, and Walker. However, it is Marcus Smart who is the sparkplug and since he has been back, the squad has shown more energy. Boston will like to get a winning streak so that they are able to collect some wins before the NBA Playoffs begin. The Celtics’ lack of bench has been exacerbated by the injury to Fournier.
