Clippers vs Timberwolves Fantasy NBA: The Los Angeles Clippers will enter the game after losing to the 76ers despite a 37 points outburst by Paul George. On the other hand, the Minnesota Timberwolves will come into this contest after beating the Heat behind a 24 points performance by Karl Anthony-Towns. More information about LAC vs MIN Dream11 will be given here.
Clippers’ season: While Clippers have been able to muster up a lot of wins in the regular season during the past years, they have been unable to go deep into the Playoffs. They have two aces in Leonard and George, where Kawhi is in the prime of his career, PG-13 has disappeared during the NBA Playoffs these past few seasons, so a lot is on the line for him once the postseason arrives. Meanwhile, the team does have veteran players who can contribute regularly on both ends of the floor.
Timberwolves’ season: This has been a disastrous season for Minnesota, but that has been the case for more than a decade now. While they do a lot of promise in Anthony Edwards, they have squandered their marquee players. They have played better basketball after the All-Star break and have managed to win some games, but the team which is in perpetual rebuilding mode, will have to think of a new plan soon or this trend will continue.

LAC vs MIN Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Paul George
PPG: 23.6
RPG: 6.3
APG: 5.5
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 3.2
Projected Fantasy Points: 50
George has shown improvements since last season and continues to be a valuable player in the league. PG-13 cooled down a bit in March but has now shown his scoring abilities in the past few games yet again. He is averaging 29.6 PPG this month and has scored 30+ points in five games in a row. He is a great option as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Karl Anthony Towns
PPG: 25.0
RPG: 11.0
APG: 4.6
BPG: 1.4
TPG: 3.3
PFP: 52
Towns is one of the most intelligent offensive players at the Center position and is capable of supplying quality output at that end. While he needs to improve defensively, he hasn’t had the squad around him which can help him reach the Playoffs so far in his career. He is averaging 29.3 PPG and 12.0 RPG for this month so far.
Anthony Edwards:
PPG: 18.0
RPG: 4.1
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 1.9
PFP: 36
Anthony has proven that he was the right choice for Minnesota during the last draft. He has been able to produce some terrific performances and despite lapses that are understandable for a rookie, he has shown a lot of character. He is averaging 20+ PPG for the last 2 months and is in great form.
Marcus Morris Sr.:
PPG: 13.1
RPG: 4.0
PFP: 30
Marcus has supplemented great offense for the Clippers and they look for him to pick up the overall scoring. The veteran Forward has helped his team in accumulating the offensive output regularly. He is averaging 15.3 PPG and 5.1 RPG so far this month.
LAC vs MIN Dream11 Sleeper Picks
Ivica Zubac:Â PPG: 8.9Â Â RPG: 7.4Â Â TPG: 1.1Â Â Â PFP: 25
Zubac has stepped his game up as the Starting Center for his team and he has given the Clippers a lift with Ibaka out of the picture. He is averaging 8.8 RPG for the last 5 games.
Naz Reid:Â Â PPG: 11.0Â Â RPG: 4.6Â Â Â BPG: 1.1Â Â Â TPG: 1.0Â Â Â PFP: 26
Naz seems like an interesting piece for the future as he provides decent scoring at the Forward position.
Ricky Rubio:Â PPG: 8.5Â Â APG: 6.6Â Â Â RPG: 3.2Â Â Â SPG: 1.4Â Â Â TPG: 1.8Â Â Â Â PFP: 24
While Rubio is not the same player as he was in the previous years, but still is a decent contributor, scoring and playmaking. He is averaging 1.9 SPG this month so far.
Terrence Mann:Â PPG: 6.4Â Â RPG: 3.7Â Â PFP: 15
Rajon Rondo(since joining Clippers): PPG: 7.0Â Â Â APG: 5.1Â Â PFP: 20
