Clippers’ season: The Clippers are having an outstanding season but their true test will come during the Playoffs. The duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George has a lot of prove and they are expected to at least reach the NBA Finals this season. Clippers do have the defense and offensive output to compete but it remains to be seen whether they can outlast squads like Lakers or Jazz. They were on a 6 game win streak before losing to the Magic.
Nuggets’ season: Denver began the season on a slow note but has managed to muster some wins since February courtesy of some elite play by Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter, and Jamal Murray. They are in great shape as Michael has hit strides for a couple of months and the roster has come along well recently. They are lodged at the 5th spot in the NBA Standings for the Western Conference.

LAC vs DEN Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Nikola Jokic
PPG: 26.8
RPG: 11.1
APG: 8.5
SPG: 1.6
TPG: 3.0
PFP(Projected Fantasy Points): 59
Jokic has had a record-breaking season and he is the engine that keeps the Nuggets ticking. His all-around offensive abilities allow him to be one of the most potent weapons and he is surely having an MVP-like campaign. Jokic is an excellent pick-up as the Super Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Kawhi Leonard
PPG: 25.9
RPG: 6.3
APG: 4.9
SPG: 1.8
TPG: 1.9
PFP: 47
Leonard has been in superb form this season, and the multiple times NBA Finals MVP looks like he is on a mission. He has helped the Clippers secure their current ranking and continues to be perhaps the most intimidating offensive and defensive player, a rare combination in itself. He is averaging a stunning 2.6 SPG this month.
Michael Porter Jr.:
PPG: 16.5
RPG: 7.5
TPG: 1.1
PFP: 40
Porter’s career has been dampened by injuries but he has shown huge promises as a young player. He still has a lot of time left since he is only 22 and barring injuries, he can become an elite SF. He has been in red hot form this month, averaging 20.3 PPG and 9.1 RPG.
Jamal Murray
PPG: 21.2
APG: 4.9
RPG: 3.9
SPG: 1.3
TPG: 2.2
PFP: 37
Jamal has shown huge improvements on the offensive side of the floor and has also improved defensively. Murray has seen his scoring down in comparison to February, but he has averaged 6 APG in the last 5 games, rotating the ball more for his team’s constant ball rotation-based offense. He has also crossed the 20 points mark in 7 of the last 8 games.
