LAC vs SAC Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings

LAC vs SAC Dream11: NBA Play-in tournament is knocking on our door and that acts as the syrup to the main dish. We will see the Playoffs-like intensity from the word go and the Western Conference will be ablaze with some heated battles. The Suns have been at their peak for a long time but a lot of other interesting teams will be in play. In this game, one of the interesting teams in Los Angeles Clippers host the Sacramento Kings.

The Clippers look solid ever since Paul George has been back and their defense has been at another level since his return. Norman Powell boosts the offensive side of things and the team could have won 46-50 games had these two been active before.

On the other hand, the Kings have struggled with or without their key players. They keep hitting cold stretches and have stood no chance against elite teams during most games. There is a lot of work to be done for the management during the offseason(As always).

Host: Los Angeles Clippers
Visitors: Sacramento Kings
Match Timing: 10 April, @ 07:00 AM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Clippers-Timberwolves matchup will be interesting
LA Clippers will square off against the Minnesota Timberwolves during the first leg of the Play-in tournament. Timberwolves will be on their home floor and it is tough to beat them there because of their uptempo style and ability to put up a bunch of points. However, Paul George will provide a great cover defensively and if the team is able to take Russell and Edwards out of the game, it will be huge for the squad.

On the offensive end, Norman Powell will be great to match up to the scoring ways of the Wolves. Meanwhile, Reggie Jackson will play a vital role as the Point Guard and he was huge in the last Playoffs. Marcus Morris provides experience and so does the defensive-oriented Power Forward rotation of Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum. Terance Mann, Luke Kennard, and Isaiah Hartenstein have been huge off the bench and the Clippers do look deep.

Kings’ fans have had enough of this!

Sixteen seasons and no Playoffs appearance. The last two seasons we have had the Play-in tournament in the fray, but the Kings can’t even manage the tenth spot. This is a big travesty for the fanbase that has filled up the stands despite the same old story of the Franchise. The next offseason will be again vital to bring some semblance and the Kings need to attract some stars to the team at this point, their model keeps on failing, draft picks are not panning out, and the coaching position changes way too much(They fired Luke Walton who was decent)

But all hope is not lost as Davion Mitchell, a hard-nosed defender has developed impressively during his rookie season. The team traded Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield to get Domantas Sabonis, which does provide the squad with a strong rebounder so the development of Mitchell will be big to fill the void. De’Aaron Fox had a strong season but he needs perimeter shooters around him to be successful. Donte DiVincenzo has been a decent all-around player but I think the team needs someone who can be a perimeter threat.
