PPG: 25.5
RPG: 7.9
APG: 7.9
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 3.8
PFP: 48
LBJ continues to be the global ambassador for the game of basketball and his skills continue to impress even at the age of 36. LeBron seems to have retained his athleticism and his experience now allows him to read the game situation better than most players in the Association. He has done a great job of carrying the load for the Los Angeles Lakers. He can be picked as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA fantasy scenario.

Karl Anthony Towns
PPG: 21.8
RPG: 10.5
APG: 4.0
BPG: 1.7
TPG: 3.3
PFP: 45
Towns is one of the most intelligent offensive players at the Center position and is capable of supplying quality output at that end. While he needs to improve defensively, he hasn’t had the squad around him which can help him reach the Playoffs so far in his career.

Malik has been the offensive juggernaut for Minnesota and he has been a revelation. He has done a great job of taking the scoring load and has made sure that his squad is able to put up at least a decent fight. He has passed the 25 points+ mark in the 3 of the last 5 games.

Dennis Schroeder
PPG: 14.5
APG: 4.5
RPG: 3.5
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 2.5
PFP: 30

LAL vs MIN Dream11 Sleeper Picks

Anthony Edwards:  PPG: 15.8   RPG: 4.1    TPG: 1.9   PFP: 27
Anthony has proven that he was the right choice for Minnesota during the last draft. He has been able to produce some terrific performances and despite lapses that are understandable for a rookie, he has shown a lot of character, as his teammate Ricky Rubio said in a recent review.

Kyle Kuzma:  PPG: 11.9   RPG: 6.8    TPG: 1.5    PFP: 25
Kuzma hasn’t been as productive as was thought earlier, but it is also because of a bench role. However, he has stepped up his game since the injury to Davis and has averaged 16.4 PPG and 10.4 RPG in the last 5 games.

Montrezl Harrell:  PPG: 14.2   RPG: 6.4    TPG: 1.1    PFP: 28
Harrell has played an integral role this season and his value increases even more with Davis out. He has gone past 26 points mark twice in the last 3 games.

Naz Reid: PPG: 11.8    RPG: 4.7    BPG: 1.2    PFP: 26
Ricky Rubio is averaging 11.4 PPG, 7.6 APG, and 1.6 SPG since the last 5 games. PFP: 26
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: PPG: 8.8    TPG: 1.1    PFP: 14
Talen Horton-Tucker is averaging 12.0 PPG and 1.4 SPG for the last 5 games. PFP: 22
