LAL vs DET Dream11 Team Prediction, NBA Regular Season: LAL vs DET Dream11 Basketball Match Season match-up: The Los Angeles Lakers are entering this game after beating the Denver Nuggets by 21 points, led by a triple-double by LeBron James. On the other hand, the Detroit Pistons are entering this game after losing to the Suns in a road game, where Jerami Grant led them in scoring with 21 points. The Lakers have begun the season like the reigning champions and they look even more loaded than last season’s championship squad. The addition of Dennis Schroeder and Montrezl Harrell has paid dividends and both the players have provided great offense to the Lakers.
The Detroit Pistons are one of the worst teams in the league and their offense ranks 24th among the 30 teams in the Association. The Pistons lack a floor general right now and have lapses on defense as well thus producing such a poor record. The Pistons are in the rebuilding mood but they don’t seem to have a young player to be projected as a franchise face. The Lakers are a more loaded, talented, and experienced team than the Pistons and this game will be an extremely tough one for Detroit. The Lakers have an overwhelming advantage on most of the positions and a more potent bench. More information about LAL vs DET Dream11 Fantasy match-up will be related here.

LAL vs DET Dream11 Match Prediction
The Lakers and Pistons are opposite teams. The Lakers are among the best teams in the league and are the reigning champions while the Pistons are among the worst teams and lack a squad to make a playoff run. The Lakers have multiple players who can create offense inside and outside while the Pistons largely depend upon Jerami Grant to fuel their offense. Lakers are the number one defensive team in the League while the Pistons rank 22nd in terms of Opposition Points per game. Pistons are a team that struggles to create offense and facing the best defensive team in the League will only increase their troubles. Pistons will need players like Sadiq Bey and Josh Jackson to step up their game and contribute on both ends of the floor. Interestingly the Pistons did beat the Lakers in the previous match-up but it is unlikely that they trump a team like the Lakers two times in a season.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons, Key Players
LeBron James
PPG: 25.1
RPG: 7.8
APG: 7.7
LBJ is arguably the most dominant NBA player of the 2010s and has carried the same form to start this decade. At age 36, LeBron doesn’t seem to be receding at all and is better than most players in the League who are a decade younger than him. LeBron James bagged 27 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 1 block in the win against the Denver Nuggets. LBJ is a potential Super-Player pick in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball showdown.
Anthony Davis
PPG: 21.8
RPG: 8.8
APG: 3.3
BPG: 1.9
SPG: 1.4
The presence of Anthony Davis certainly makes the best defense in the League as he is great at playing perimeter defense and also making it tough to score inside. He is a stellar offensive player and his athleticism allows him to score in a variety of ways around the rim. He is coming off 13 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in the win against the Denver Nuggets.
Jerami Grant
PPG: 23.7
RPG: 5.8
BPG: 1.2
Jerami is the leading scorer for the Pistons and has tried his hardest to supplement points for Detroit. He is one of the candidates for the Most Improved Player this season and if he clinches that award then it will not be a surprise. He lodged 21 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block in the loss against the Phoenix Suns.
Dennis Schroeder
PPG: 13.9
APG: 4.2
RPG: 3.6
The German Point Guard has yielded consistent gains at the Point Guard position and has been an upgrade as a PG. Dennis is a great third option in the starting line-up and has performed the role admirably. He compiled 21 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in the win against the Denver Nuggets.
Sleeper Picks:
Derrick Rose: Rose is having a great season off the bench and is the second-highest PPG scorer even in limited minutes as the back-up PG. The 2011 MVP is averaging 14.2 PPG, 4.2 APG, and 1.2 SPG.
Montrezl Harrell: Montrezl brings a lot of muscle and power off the bench for the Lakers and has been a difficult match-up at the Center position despite his diminutive size at the position. He is averaging 13.2 PPG and 6.2 RPG. He registered 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in the win against the Denver Nuggets.
Blake Griffin: The former All-Star is not the same athlete as he was with the Los Angeles Clippers and is shooting poorly at the PF position for the Pistons. He is averaging 12.4 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 3.9 APG. He is coming off another tough shooting night, lodging 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in the loss against the Suns.
Note
Josh Jackson is averaging 11.5 PPG and 1.0 BPG.
Kyle Kuzma is averaging 9.9 PPG and 5.6 RPG.
Delon Wright is averaging 9.0 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 4.4 APG.
