LAL vs PHX Dream11 Prediction, Lakers vs Suns Fantasy, NBA Preseason

The NBA Preseason is in full flair right now and the head twirling combinations put on by coaches also stack up. In this game, two contenders in Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns fight it out. More about LAL vs PHX Dream11 will be given below.

LAL vs PHX Dream11 Prediction

Preseason games see a lot of wayward minutes and superstars either playing for a less duration or skipping the game altogether. For the coaches, this is an opportunity to test out the bench strength and make a final list of players before heading into the season.

Lakers management did its part in the offseason, making effectively the oldest roster in the league. The team lured Russell Westbrook to form a big three along with LeBron and Davis. The team also got the veteran Forward Carmelo Anthony, veteran big Dwight Howard for his third stint, Rajon Rondo for his second stint, Ariza for his second stint. Management also added Malik Monk to address the much talked about lack of shooting.

Suns come into the season after an impressive NBA Finals campaign. The team fell two wins short of winning the championship but it also means that there is pressure of performing like that once again. Suns’ management acquired guard Elfrid Payton and added veteran center JaVale McGee to the roster. Can Suns’ repeat the success of last season again?

LAKERS

Malik Monk
Points: 15
Assists: 02
Rebounds: 01

Led his team in scoring during the last game. A sharp-shooter who will play a huge role going forward in the season. He is a candidate as the Super/Pro Player in the Dream11 Fantasy NBA scenario.

Talen Horton-Tucker
Points: 10
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 03
Steals: 01
May receive a ton of minutes with Westbrook being out for the game. Provides depth at guard and is highly versatile.

Kendrick Nunn
Points: 09
Rebounds: 07

Nunn is a dynamic PG and a great signing by the Lakers. Led his team in rebounds during the last game.

Dwight Howard
Points: 10
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 01

Blocks: 01
Did his job in the last game. Always a great presence as the big.

Anthony Davis

Assists: 01
Steals: 01
May gradually see an increase in minutes in the preseason but will regularly play 30-40 minutes when healthy in the main show during the Regular Season.

SUNS

Jalen Smith
Points: 13
Rebounds: 11
Assists: 00
Blocks: 02
Steals: 01
Led his team in rebounds in the last game Sophomore looked hungry in the last game and showed more physicality than before. Will aim for a back-up Center spot this season.

Abdul Nader
PPG: 09
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 01
Steals: 03
Blocks: 01
The bench player will aim for a bigger role this season. Led his team in steals during the last match

Elfrid Payton
Points: 11
Assists: 05
Rebounds: 01
Steals: 02
How will the veteran guard carve out minutes with Payne also playing back-up PG? Provides decent scoring and quality playmaking. A decent defender too.

Cameron Payne
Points: 09
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 07
Played a terrific backup role at PG position last season. Led the team in assists during the last game.

Javale McGee
Points 10
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 01
Blocks: 01
A highly reliable Center option off the bench. McGee can eat up minutes as the backup and Jalen Smith will need to compete with him. Interesting situation developing between a veteran and a sophomore.
