MIL vs LAL Dream11 Prediction NBA Projections, Daily Fantasy Basketball Team, Top Picks and Tips for Milwaukee Bucks vs LA Lakers

MIL vs LAL Dream11: In this cross-conference battle, two teams who are struggling will meet against each other. In this game, Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Milwaukee Bucks away from home. Lakers are 8-7 and have struggled in absence of their leader LeBron James. Meanwhile, an injury to Khris Middleton has derailed the early campaign of the Bucks.

Lakers Forward Anthony Davis has been fuming at his team’s effort thus far and wants more out of the squad. While Westbrook has performed in a better fashion, bench players like Monk have been cold from the field. Carmelo has been methodical but has lost his production a bit lately. On the other hand, the Bucks look like a different squad with Middleton, not in the fray and they surely need his presence to make things happen on both ends.

Host: Milwaukee Bucks
Visitors: Los Angeles Lakers
Match Timing: 18 November, @ 06:00 AM
Venue: Fiserv Forum

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Lakers: How will they deal with tougher opponents?
Los Angeles Lakers threw away games to teams such as Oklahoma City and Minnesota, both squads way below the 50% win mark. Such performances have left both fans and teammates frustrated because these are your must-win games. Now once the schedule features more tricky teams, the Lakers’ bottom five defense can get exposed as the team allows around a bunch of points. This unit needs LeBron’s operations to function more efficiently.

Bucks: Middleton’s value realised and the Brook factor
Bucks have struggled on both ends of the floor without Khris Middleton. The team has been unable to match opponents in high-scoring games and there are various other issues on the defensive end. Portis has been doing decent in the starting lineup but this brings into mind the void left by Brook Lopez’s absence. Both Middleton play top-notch defense and were highly instrumental in Milwaukee’s title run last season
