WAS vs LAL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Washington Wizards vs LA Lakers

WAS vs LAL Dream11: NBA keeps going through the motions and we have a lot to look at in the league. As the postseason is nearing, we still have a lot to settle what teams will even make it to the Playoffs. This is how it has been for many seasons now as the trials and tribulations of the league keep testing teams after teams. So, in another trial, the Washington Wizards will host the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Wizards have been having a poor season overall and they keep on losing games. They have lost six games in a row. Their Playoffs hopes are done now with the way the Hornets and the Hawks are playing and with the advent of the East this season, the Wizards can kiss the chances of making it to the Play-in scene goodbye.

The Lakers have been having an equally grueling season and it is painful to see the superstar duo of LeBron and Westbrook fall apart so massively. They played their hand at now much-maligned “Big Three” model but more than that the injury to Anthony Davis has also hurt the team a bit.

Host: Washington Wizards
Visitors: LA Lakers
Match Timing: 20 March, @ 05:30 AM
Venue: Capital One Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Trends and match-ups

Wizards: They just go down, down….

The Wizards enter the game after a heartbreaking 100:97 loss to the Knicks as they couldn’t make hay late in the game.

The Wizards had been blown to smithereens during their last road trip, they lost to all sorts of teams and they have been unable to close in on the Play-in tournament squads at this point. Forget making the Play-in tournament, the team has been dangerously falling into the territory of twelfth rank as the Knicks seem to be playing much better than the Wizs these days. Of course, not having Bradley Beal has hurt the cause but the team was struggling even with him. After ten wins and three losses start, the team has mere 19 wins and a humungous 37 losses, which means their season has completely lost track. One positive this season has been the all-around improvement in the game of Kyle Kuzma.

Lakers: Somehow in the Play-in seating…

The Lakers had one of their best wins of the season as they beat the Raptors 128:123 behind a strong 36 points night by LeBron and a late-game shot by Russell Westbrook

Although they have fared terribly, the Lakers have somehow managed to hold on to the Play-in spot. This is because, beyond the eighth rank in the West, the Conference has appeared shallow and features a lot of bottom-tier teams that remain in the vicinity of making the Play-in tournament. The team couldn’t have been even a Play-in squad without the herculean efforts of LeBron James but Frank Vogel’s coaching has raised a bunch of question marks lately among the Lakers fandom. The Lakers diehards continue to cheer the team but what chance will the team once the Play-in tournament begins? Well, is it fair to bet against LeBron James in the Playoffs? But hey, the West in the top-seven is not that easy to tackle, is it?
