LAC vs NOP Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Los Angeles Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans

LAC vs NOP Dream11: 82 games in a season means that the NBA is demanding and takes a lot of toll on a player. Thus, we see various different results and a long list of injuries by the time season closes in. In this game, two teams who are missing their main guns in Los Angeles Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans fight it out against each other. More information about this battle such as last game stats, expected fantasy points, fantasy lineup is given below.

Without Leonard, the Clippers are two games above the 50% win mark. The team has its issues and has been shut down by multiple squads but if they just the winning record till the return of Kawhi then that will be a job well done. Still, the Clippers have the potential to sort some of the issues without banking on his return.

The Pelicans are running thin without Zion Williamson. The team has 17 losses in 22 games and has struggled to stitch together wins consistently. The frontline of Ingram and Valanciunas has given some semblance but the team is having huge depth issues without Zion in the mix. The Pels wait for the return of Williamson desperately.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Clippers: Potent defense but offensive issues
LA Clippers defend well, they are one of the best at that in the league and even gave Warriors trouble till the third quarter in the last game, holding them below their season average. However, it is the offense that has deserted them in key moments. If one of Jackson or Geroge goes cold then there are times that the Clippers’ offensive machinery collapses. There are scorers in the team, with Morris, Zubac, Bledsoe, Mann, and Kennard in the mix but the underlying issue has been a strong team performance offensively.

Pelicans: A lack of depth
Suppose Zion returns and Pels are like 12 games or so under the 50% win mark. In the heated West, getting to a 50% win record will still be difficult. The Pelicans have played some of their best basketball recently beating teams like this LA outfit and Jazz, but they don’t seem to have the fuel to keep this going for long. Why so? The team’s guards are struggling right now and with Zion out of the mix, that becomes a critical error. The Pelicans need Zion back and that is too quick.
