LAL vs UTA Dream11 Fantasy NBA, Lakers vs Jazz 18 April

Lakers vs Jazz Fantasy NBA: The Los Angeles Lakers have been hit by the injury bug and after losing Anthony Davis and LeBron James, they are relying upon their bench players in Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris to fill the Forward spots. Dennis Schroeder has stepped up his game and Andre Drummond has shown the rust which occurs after resting for few months, which has also impacted Montrezl Harrell’s contributions whose role has been altered and his performances have disappeared since the reduction in minutes and the team unable to figure out the team combinations. More information about LAL vs UTA Dream11 NBA will be given here.

The Lakers will come into this game after losing to the Celtics, again burning out in the face of an offensive onslaught by Jaylen Brown who poured 40 points on them. The Lakers are situated at 5th in the NBA Standings for Western Conference, they have slipped 3 spots since Anthony Davis has gone down and 1 spot since LeBron has been hit by injury. Los Angeles’ opponent, Utah Jazz will come into this game after beating the Pacers rallying around a 23 rebounds outburst by Rudy Gobert, who has continued to impress throughout the season.

Utah Jazz is composed of a two-way player in Conley at PG, a scorer like Donovan Mitchell at SG, and with a shooting threat like Bogdanovic at the SF, a defensive stopper in Gobert, and a burst of scoring off the bench by Clarkson, and with Ingles as the playmaker and a team defender in Royce O’ Neale. The Jazz are the top team in the league, they will have an edge in this game.

Lakers vs Jazz, NBA News & Possible NBA Lineups

Donovan Mitchell
PPG: 26.5
APG: 5.3
RPG: 4.4
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 2.7
Projected Fantasy Points: 48
Mitchell is the offensive leader of the Jazz and his production is one of the main reasons why they are at the peak of the NBA rankings. Donovan has improved each year as an offensive and defensive player, he has strung together a team-oriented season, playing with amazing IQ and intensity. He is questionable for the game but as he is averaging 31 PPG this month, he is a great option as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA Fantasy scenario.

Rudy Gobert
PPG: 14.4
RPG: 13.4
BPG: 2.8
TPG: 1.6
PFP: 44
Gobert has given the Utah Jazz a push on both ends of the floor, he has carried a major load for the team inside defensively, rebounded the well at a terrific clip, and we can some other tangibles and intangibles that can be attached to him. The French Stifle has huddled up 16.2 RPG for the last 5 games, along with 2.8 BPG.

Dennis Schroeder:
PPG: 15.2
APG: 5.4
RPG: 3.4
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 2.8
PFP: 39
Schroeder has been consistent in terms of assists and points ever since he has been given major duties at the Guard level, with their ball-handler LeBron out with an injury. He has given the Lakers some sense of stability amidst the flood of injuries and has averaged 7.8 APG since the month began.

Kyle Kuzma:
PPG: 12.8
RPG: 6.6
TPG: 1.8
PFP: 31
Since March, Kyle has averaged close to 16 PPG and has made most of his minutes. Kuzma’s minutes reduced with the arrival of Anthony Davis a couple of years back, however, he was seeing a slight reduction in his usage this season, but then turned up some substantial returns when he was asked to start at the Forward.

LAL vs UTA Dream11 Sleeper Picks

Jordan Clarkson: PPG: 17.2 RPG: 3.9 TPG: 1.7 PFP: 27
Clarkson is the offensive threat off the bench, who can dissect defense with great handles, finishing, and shooting. His chops have helped him to become a candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year Award and things are clicking for him in this squad.

Montrezl Harrell: PPG: 15.2 RPG: 6.8 TPG: 1.1 PFP: 36
Montrezl has seen a reduction in his scoring and rebounding ever since Andre Drummond has been acquired by the Lakers. His confidence has been down ever since his minutes have been clipped and despite most games(56) this season for the Lakers, he hasn’t been rewarded.

Mike Conley: PPG: 16.5 APG: 5.6 RPG: 3.4 SPG: 1.3 TPG: 1.9 PFP: 35
Conley’s production and stability at the PG position as both an offensive and defensive player, ala Chris Paul, has given the Utah Jazz a lot of boosts this season. He is averaging 7.5 APG for the last 5 games.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: PPG: 8.9 PFP: 19
Bojan Bogdanovic: PPG: 15.2 RPG: 4.0 PFP: 25
Andre Drummond(Since joining Lakers): PPG: 9.2 RPG: 9.2 SPG: 1.4 TPG: 3.0 PFP: 20
