DEN vs LAL Anthony Davis Nikola Jokic

Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Lakers Fantasy NBA: The Denver Nuggets will come into this game after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder by just 2 points in a game where Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray both scored 22 points. The Los Angeles Lakers will hit the floor after beating the Memphis Grizzlies by 10 points behind a 35 points outing by Anthony Davis.
The Nuggets have regained their composure after starting a little slow and their defense has undergone some improvements. The Nuggets are led by Nikola Jokic, who provides them all-around play on the offensive end, while he is supported by a cast that consists of athletic Guards and Forwards, where Jamal Murray plays the role of the second option on the offense. While the Nuggets will look to build a winning streak here, they will need a lot out of Paul Millsap and JaMychal Green who will be handling the PF matchup of Anthony Davis.
The Los Angeles Lakers have played like the team that won the NBA Finals last year and are placed at the second seed for the NBA standings in the Western Conference. They have maintained their team balance well and it is scary that they have acquired a better roster than last season.

Los Angeles Lakers team News:
Status Out: Kostas Antetokounmpo: The Forward has been ruled out for the game against the Nuggets.
Status Questionable: No further issues reported so far although LeBron James and Anthony Davis are listed as Day-to-Day.
Los Angeles Lakers roster: LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Anthony Davis, Marc Gasol, Devontae Cacok, Dennis Schroder, Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook, Montrezl Harrell, Talen Horton-Tucker, Wesley Mathews, Jared Dudley, Alfonzo McKinnie, Markieff Morris.

The Nuggets will be shorthanded at multiple positions and since Gary Harris and Will Barton are ruled out, the Nuggets will field an extremely depleted squad if their second-highest scorer Jamal Murray has to also miss the fixture. On the other hand, the Lakers are looking extremely threatening and the Nuggets will have to play their heart out to deal with the Forward duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Nuggets will also have to contain Montrezl Harrell off the bench, who has been a nightmare to defend in the paint. The edge certainly belongs to the Lakers who are looking to repeat as the champions. This game is worthy of NBA live stream or NBA streams since it features talents like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Nikola Jokic.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks:
LeBron James
PPG: 25.6
RPG: 7.9
APG: 7.9
TPG: 3.8
Projected Fantasy Points: 48
LeBron James is still the king of the NBA and he has performed like an NBA champion during the clutch moments, which shows that he is still one of the best players, if not the best player right now. His play has enabled the Lakers to once again push for a championship and it will not be a surprise if they repeat as champions. LeBron continued his superlative season in the win against the Grizzlies, bagging 28 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals. He is a great player to choose as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario in the DEN vs LAL Dream11.
Nikola Jokic
PPG: 26.8
RPG: 11.3
APG: 8.6
SPG: 1.6
TPG: 3.6
Projected Fantasy Points: 55
Jokic leads the Nuggets in four major statistical categories and that doesn’t even sum up the influence he has in notching up the wins for his team. Jokic is the most versatile offensive player at the Center position right now and his consistency has made sure that the Nuggets are in safe hands. Jokic is coming off 22 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in the win against the Thunder. He is also a superb choice as either the Super-Player or a Pro-Player.Jokic Dream 11 NBA
Anthony Davis
PPG: 22.9
RPG: 8.6
APG: 3.1
BPG: 1.9
SPG: 1.4
TPG: 2.0
Projected Fantasy Points: 48
Ant-Davis has overcome the initial hiccups on the offensive end in the early season and is now resolute to help his squad reach the NBA throne. He has continued to terrorize opponents on both sides of the court and his overall play has been impressive as always. He had a superb night in the win against the Grizzlies, bagging 35 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block.
DEN vs LAL Dream11 Team Prediction Projections
Michael Porter Jr.
PPG: 14.9
RPG: 6.2
BPG: 1.1
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 1.1
Projected Fantasy Points: 28
Micheal will have to do a lot of work on the offensive end since both Harris and Barton are missing. The SF is still in his early 20s and injuries have dampened the start of his career but he has the tools to have a decorated career in this league. Michael is coming off 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 steal in the win over the Thunder.

Sleeper Picks:
Dennis Schroeder: Dennis is averaging 14.1 PPG, 4.4 APG, and 3.8 RPG. He has been a huge factor in the offensive end and has given the Lakers a lot of options at the PG position. He is coming off a poor shooting night against the Grizzlies, managing only 2 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. Projected Fantasy Points: 25
Montrezl Harrell: The Center is averaging 13.5 PPG and 6.3 RPG. Harrell has been difficult to guard in the point and provides the Lakers immense depth coming off the bench. He compiled 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 assist in the win against Memphis. Projected Fantasy Points: 23
Monte Morris: The guard is averaging 11.0 PPG and 3.4 APG. He has given the Nuggets some great minutes at the two-guard position and is an able shooter and playmaker. He bagged 7 points in the victory over the Thunder. Projected Fantasy Points: 22

Kyle Kuzma is averaging 10.7 PPG and 6.0 RPG for the Lakers. Projected Fantasy Points: 20.
Paul Millsap is averaging 10.4 PPG and 5.2 RPG for the Nuggets. Projected Fantasy Points: 18

DEN vs LAL Dream11 Team Prediction
PG: Dennis Schroeder, Facundo Campazzo
SG: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, RJ Hampton
SF: Kyle Kuzma
PF: Anthony Davis(PP)
C:    Nikola Jokic(SP), Montrezl Harrell

Note
Fantasy Points are the total number of points players amass based upon points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, and turnovers. Following is the table for the categories and their points value

Category Point Value
Point 1
Assist 1.5
Rebound 1.2
Steal 3
Block 3
Turonvers -1

For example, if a player has 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers, then the total value will be 26 (10+5*1.2+4*1.5+1*3+1*3-2*1). A Super-Player gets two times increase in the total fantasy points, so if the Player gets 20 points then it will be doubled to 40. In the case of Pro-Player, he gets a 1.5 increase, which means if a player gets 20 points then the total becomes 35. Projected Fantasy Points given here are based upon season averages and prediction analysis.
