CHI vs LAC Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Chicago Bulls vs LA Clippers

CHI vs LAC Dream11: Hello NBA following friends, how is it going. Here is a greeting to all the people who come here to go through the write-ups here. Anyway, the NBA has also greeted its fans with another hot serve of top-quality basketball this season and we are in for more fun with each day. Because with each day, we are inching closer to the Playoffs and it is well-known that the intensity of the games will be up once the Postseason arrives. Let us jump into the game between the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Bulls have been underwhelming in the second half of the season and while their play has been more than decent at home, their away from the home record has been terrible lately after the team was strong on the road earlier. Is the absence of Lonzo Ball causing this rupture, some Bulls fans told me that it is not the case, it is just the lack of hustle at times.

On the other hand, the Clippers fans must be a little relieved after the return of Paul George. The team held on to a decent record without him but his absence caused a five-game losing streak recently as the team couldn’t find a go-to offensive player. The Clippers will be in a tough bout during the Play-in tournament.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Roster complexion

The Bulls come into this game after punching a 107:94 win versus the Wizards as DeMar DeRozan stacked up 32 points.

It is a simple thing for the Bulls’ success at times and it is that DeRozan hoards 30+ points and the team wins more often than not. Zach LaVine has been huge at times too, going on personal scoring runs but the team has missed Lonzo Ball. Ball provided three-point shooting, playmaking, rebounding, and some tough defense and without him, the open lanes have decreased for other players while the scoring balance has surely been hit.

Defensively too, both LaVine and DeRozan have struggled, especially away from home, but they are both capable defenders. Nikola Vucevic plays a prime role as a rebounder and if his defensive intensity is up, the Bulls are harder to beat. On the other hand, Patrick Williams’ return is sure to improve the defense but Alex Caruso will need to up his offensive game even if he provides quality defense. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu have not been as consistent as before and the Bulls need more from them.

The Clippers completed a stunning 25-points comeback versus the Jazz, beating them 121:115 as Paul George dropped 30+ points in his return.

This was the third time that the Clippers eked out a win after being down by 20+ points and that may spark some hope for the Clippers fans, their work is cut out. Suppose the team faces Minnesota Timberwolves in the Play-in tournament, wouldn’t they be going up against a much more effective lineup? That is why the return of Paul George is crucial because he can spark special possessions on both ends of the floor.

For the team to succeed in the Postseason, they will need Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson to figure it out and with the experience of Jackson, who indeed went for big nights during the last Playoffs, there is indeed hope for the Clippers. The bench looks deep with George returns as the Forward rotation of Batum and Covington, Center rotation of Zubac and Hartenstein, and the off-the-bench guard combo of Mann and Kennard, make for a strong roster but overall, the team will need Norman Powell to also return if they are to up the ante on the offensive end.
