LAL vs MIN Dream11 Prediction NBA Live LA Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

LAL vs MIN Dream11: The high-flying action in the NBA is on but it is still missing its usual fizz. The main reason for the usual fizz missing is that the Preseason leg of the NBA sees major players resting and also the rotations being all over the place. At any rate, we are just a week away or so from the start of the season and in this Preseason game, the Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Lakers finally broke their Preseason curse, curbing a nine-game losing streak after defeating the NBA reigning champions 124:121 as Anthony Davis nailed 28 points. The Lakers are going to rest LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Patrick Beverley for this game.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the LA Clippers in the last game, winning 119:117 as Naz Reid racked up 20 points. Will the Wolves rest Rudy Gobert again?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Lakers: What will they show this season?

The question remains the same for the Lakers; will Russell Westbrook fit in the scheme? That could be the season-deciding factor. The team did a great job in the offseason bringing Dennis Schroeder back to the fold who joins Russ and Kendrick Nunn in the backcourt. Talking about Nunn, he is in for a big season and has shown to be a brilliant scorer. Meanwhile, a lot will also ride upon the health of Anthony Davis, who has been injured a lot and with LeBron entering “Father Time”, still being a weapon though, his health will be closely monitored too. Let us see what Lakers present during the Regular season.

Timberwolves: High ceiling

Bringing in Rudy Gobert bolsters the team’s rebounding, defense, and inside scoring for the Wolves. With Karl Anthony-Towns aiding him in the frontcourt, the team now has a twin towers combo. Anthony Edwards has showcased limitless potential and this can be the best season of his career. While D’Angelo Russell will have a ton of space to operate due to the screening action and also the clogged inside. Let us see how the bench responds with the addition of Kyle Anderson and how Jaden McDaniels adds up to the already loaded frontcourt. Also, there is Jaylen Nowell who can knock dow the long ball.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks

Kendrick Nunn(LAL)
Nunn has shown in the preseason that he can be a big threat on both ends for the Lakers, something the team needs desperately.

Anthony Edwards(MIN)
Anthony is a brilliant player who has been able to develop a shooting game while being an incredible driving wing since day one.

Anthony Davis(LAL)
There is no doubt that Davis is one of the elite players, but it is his injury bug that has been holding him back after he made a title run alongside James a couple of seasons ago.

Karl Anthony-Towns(MIN)
Anthony-Towns is one of the most versatile bigs out there and his ability to put the ball on the floor makes him a unique talent. He also has a more than dependable three-point shot.

Lonnie Walker IV(LAL)
Lonnie is a streak shooter whose production will define the Lakers’ bench output and oh boy, the Lakers need any help they can get.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-46

D’Angelo Russell(MIN)
Russell is a lefty shooter who can also make lovely passes. His ability to score at a high clip will give the Timberwolves a highly efficient offense.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 24-36

LAL vs MIN DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

Dennis Schroder(LAL): Schroeder hasn’t played in a long time and when he does play, he knows how to get going on offense end.
Jaden McDaniels(MIN): Jaden is a great fit in the Wolves squad as someone who can run the floor and also shoot from outside.
Juan Toscano-Anderson(LAL): This can be a “make or break” season for Juan. Frankly, he needs to show more than he has in the Preseason.
Naz Reid(MIN): Reid is a solid back-up Center and will be playing a big role off the bench.
Kyle Anderson(MIN): Kyle is an all-around talent and will be a big part of the bench.
Austin Reaves(LAL): Reaves has shown that he belongs to the league and he can be a big-time contributor.
