LAC vs HOU Dream11: The NBA Regular Season is on and we have witnessed a bunch of amazing battles already. The scoring has been higher than usual while defenses that were dominating last year have slowed done, especially in the case of the Golden State Warriors. Anyway, there are teams that are struggling on the offensive end and one of those teams the Los Angeles Clippers will take on the Houston Rockets.
The Clippers suffered an embarrassing 91:112 defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans which extended their losing streak to four. On the other hand, the Houston Rockets had another loss as the Phoenix Suns raided them 124:109 despite Kevin Porter Jr’s 26 points. This loss extended their road loss to 5 now.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Clippers: Last season’s flashbacks
The hype of getting back Kawhi Leonard has disappeared as the wing remains away from the action which hinders the progress of the Clippers. Paul George has been suffering an ailment and that is why his early season rhythm has been thwarted. Norman Powell is getting back into the groove whereas Reggie Jackson has had a tumultuous start to the season. Ivica Zubac has had some impressive rebounding and shot-blocking games. Marcus Morris continues to give decent production while Luke Kennard has been the only dependable long-range shooter. The Clippers have been downright terrible on the offensive end.
Rockets: Growing pains
The Rockets are a work-in-progress and their defense is once again among the worst in the league. They lack the discipline and experience to keep up against most offenses. They have a promising lineup with the guard combination of Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. but Green hasn’t been efficient thus far. Rookie Jabari Smith Jr. has been struggling too but he is a promising rebounder and defender. Alperen Sengun has showcased promise to become a double-double Center. Can Tari Eason develop into something special?

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks
Paul George(LAC)
Points: 14
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 03
Steals: 01
Two-Guard George has slowed down after a hot start, but I believe the two-way stalwart will recover in this game. I believe he will be in 20-26 points, 4-7 rebounds, and 4-7 assists range. Paul can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Kevin Porter Jr.(HOU)
Points: 26
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 06
Steals: 01
Kevin has been getting it done as a scorer and playmaker, leading the Rockets effort. I believe he will be in 17-24 points and 5-8 assists range.
Norman Powell(LAC)
Points: 18
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 03
Blocks: 01
After a disappointing start, Powell is back to his old scoring ways and has had a couple of strong games. I expect him to be in 16-22 points range here.
Jalen Green(HOU)
Points: 15
Rebounds: 01
Assists: 02
Steals: 01
Young scorer Jalen knows many ways to score but he has been forcing the issue a bit lately. I expect him to be in 16-22 points range.,
Jabari Smith Jr(HOU)
Points: 08
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 00
Blocks: 01
After a strong start, Jabari has been struggling from the field but provides continuous rebounding and defense. I believe he will be in 10-14 points and 6-9 rebounds range.
Marcus Morris Sr(LAC)
Points: 12
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 04
Steals: 01
Wing Morris can shoot the ball in isolation situations, using lovely jabs, step-backs, fadeaways, etc. I believe he will be in 12-18 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
Alperen Sengun(HOU)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 09
Assists: 02
Steals: 01
Sengun keeps on improving at a laser rate and has become a nightly double-double threat. I believe he will be in 14-18 points and 8-11 rebounds range.
LAC vs HOU DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS
- Jae’Sean Tate(HOU): Tate had 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal in the last game. Wing Tate has been a part of the regular rotation for a decent chunk of time. I believe he will be in 6-10 points and 4-6 rebounds range.
- Kenyon Martin Jr.(HOU): Kenyon had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist in the last game. Kenyon provides decent support off-the-bench. I expect a 7-12 points and 4-6 rebounds range.
- Ivica Zubac(LAC): Ivica had 4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks in the last game. Center Zubac has been having some impressive big-numbers game. I believe he will be in 8-12 points, 10-14 rebounds, and 2-4 blocks range.
- Tari Eason(HOU): Tari had 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal in the last game. Rookie Eason has a lot of potential. I believe he will be in 6-10 points and 3-5 rebounds range.
- Reggie Jackson(LAC): Jackson had 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal in the last game. Jackson hasn’t shot well thus far and to be honest, he has been shuffled around too much with an unclear role. I believe he will be in 10-15 poitns and 4-7 assists range.
- John Wall(LAC): Wall had 9 points, 6 assists, 2 blocks in the last game. Wall has been a decent contributor as a playmaking and scoring guard off the bench. I expect him to be in 10-16 points and 4-7 assists range.
- Luke Kennard(LAC): Luke had 7 points, 6 rebounds in the last game. Kennard is a sharpshooter who continues to receive around 20 minutes. I believe he will be in 8-12 points and 4-6 rebounds range.
- Terance Mann(LAC): Terance had 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists in the last game. Terance hasn’t developed as per the promise he has shown but gets decent minutes.
