LAL vs PHI Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for LA Lakers vs Philadelphia 76ers

LAL vs PHI Dream11: Hello, NBA followers! How has it been going for you! The NBA is steadily heading towards the Postseason window and we are bound to see a classic Playoffs as usual. The window to make a comeback for various teams is collapsing with each day and with the way matters are ensuing, there is no doubt that there are some teams that are grinding their teeth. The LA Lakers fans have been grinding out their teeth pretty much all season long while the Philadelphia 76ers fans may have to save their nails for the Playoffs, but before that, these two will clash against there.

The Lakers have not been among elite teams all season long and their record instead of improving has fallen off since February. The frustration of the fans has been felt by Westbrook the most, who is yet to gel with the Lakers system. However, the team somehow remains in the Play-in tournament contention thanks to the Fountain of Youth drinker LeBron James.

On the other hand, the 76ers have been heralded as the title contenders and of course, when you pair up a dominating Center like Embiid with two-time MVP Harden, such talks will take place. However, the road to the Finals remains hard and long and it is a too early to call if they can go all the way despite the incredible duo.

Host: LA Lakers
Visitors: Philadelphia 76ers
Match Timing: 24 March, @ 07:30 AM
Venue: Crypto.com Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The 76ers come into this game after a surprising 113:106 win versus the Heat, winning without Harden and Embiid as rising guard Tyrese dropped 28 points

The 76ers have continued to be in the title conversations and with a powerful Center in Embiid and a big-time PG in Harden, they have built a duo that surely complements each other well. Unlike the Nets, Harden can dominate the ball and also stay more motivated alongside a vocal leader like Embiid. On the other hand, Tyrese Maxey’s growth can’t be stated enough and he will be huge during the postseason while Tobias Harris also remains vital to the team’s plan. The bench depth looks a bit suspect for the team but Niang can knock down a decent amount of jumpers. Thybullle and Green play amazing pressure defense to make the 76ers a strong defensive squad.

The Lakers come into this contest after beating the Cavaliers 131:120 as LeBron garnered a 38-point triple-double.

The Lakers have surely fallen out of the title contender conversation and this is usually not the case for a LeBron-led team. Well, LeBron can surely say that he has done more than enough, and if not for him, the Lakers would have fallen around the bottom teams. Although Westbrook gets much of the fingers pointed at him, he has done a decent job recently, hey, what if it takes another season for him to adjust, we don’t wait for such a long time in the “Big Three” experiment, do we? Davis’ injury has made it so that there is a lack of size inside and the opponents have stacked offensive rebounds against the team. Monk has been not scrapping as many points as before while Carmelo has mostly gotten the job done. The Lakers have won the last two games against 50%+ win teams for the first time this season, can they make it three in a row?
