LAC vs LAL Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Kawhi Leonard
PPG: 25.9
RPG: 6.4
APG: 4.9
SPG: 1.8
TPG: 1.9
Projected Fantasy Points: 47
Leonard has been in superb form this season, and the multiple times NBA Finals MVP looks like he is on a mission. He has helped the Clippers secure their current ranking and continues to be perhaps the most intimidating offensive and defensive player, a rare combination in itself. He is averaging a stunning 2.6 SPG for the last 5 games. Leonard is the favored pick as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Dennis Schroeder:
PPG: 15.4
APG: 5.0
RPG: 3.5
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 2.8
PFP: 39
Schroeder will have to assume both primary scorer and playmaker duties with LeBron James out with injury. The guard is also an effective defender who makes it tough to score through his shifty frame. Dennis is averaging 19 PPG, 8 APG, and 2.8 SPG since the last 5 games.
Paul George
PPG: 22.3
RPG: 6.3
APG: 5.5
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 3.1
PFP: 41
PG-13 has seen improvement in his averages since last season and has looked to generate more wins for his team through his two-way chops. PG-13 has a point to prove this season and he is having a better season than the last one. He forms one of the best duos in the League alongside Kawhi Leonard.
Kyle Kuzma:
PPG: 12.8
RPG: 6.8
TPG: 1.7
PFP: 31
Kuzma has stepped up his game without Anthony Davis in the picture and he has proven to be an effective scorer and rebounder at the PF position. Kyle has also led the Lakers in scoring during some of the games, which means he has justified the heavy contract he signed. He has averaged 19.2 PPG and 8 RPG for the last 5 games.

Montrezl Harrell:Â PPG: 15.0Â Â RPG: 6.8Â Â TPG: 1.1Â Â Â PFP: 36

Ivica Zubac:Â PPG: 8.7Â Â RPG: 7.3Â Â PFP: 28
Zubac has stepped up his game with Ibaka out and he has given top-notch rebounding and shot-blocking this month. He is averaging 10 RPG and 1.8 BPG for the last 5 games.
Marcus Morris:Â PPG: 12.6Â Â RPG: 3.8Â Â PFP: 20
Morris is a veteran shooter who supplies high-quality offense to the Clippers at the Forward position. He is averaging 17 PPG for the last 5 games.
Markieff Morris is averaging 11.8 PPG and 7 RPG since the last 5 games.
Terrence Mann:Â PPG: 6.4Â Â RPG: 3.9Â Â Â PFP: 26
