Clippers vs Lakers Fantasy NBA: The Los Angeles Clippers will enter the game after beating the Raptors behind a 22 points outings by Paul George and Marcus Morris Sr. On the other hand, the Los Angeles Lakers will hit the floor after beating the Nuggets behind a stupendous 25 points performance by Anthony Davis. A lineup related to LAC vs LAL Dream11 Team Prediction will be provided at the end of the article.
Clippers’ season: The Clippers are having an outstanding season but their true test will come during the Playoffs. The duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George has a lot to prove and they are expected to at least reach the NBA Finals this season. Clippers do have the defense and offensive output to compete but it remains to be seen whether they can outlast squads like Jazz, Suns, Nuggets, or Lakers deep in the NBA Playoffs.
Lakers’ season: Lakers have slumped as LeBron James and Davis have been out for a substantial period, and now that Davis has returned they can see improvement in their record. The reigning champions have slipped to the 6th spot in the NBA Standings for Western Conference but will be sturdy once LeBron is in full swing. Schroeder has played amazing basketball, holding the reins when LeBron was out.

LAC vs LAL Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Paul George
PPG: 23.6
RPG: 6.6
APG: 5.2
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 3.3
PFP: 41
PG-13 has led from the front ever since April and has made a huge impact over the outcomes of the game, garnering multiple 30 points+ games. He has up the ante and will look to put behind his abysmal performances in the last Playoffs. He is averaging 9 RPG for the last 6 games and can be chosen as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA play.
Kawhi Leonard
PPG: 25.3
RPG: 6.6
APG: 5.1
SPG: 1.6
TPG: 2.0
Projected Fantasy Points: 40
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. However, he has been playing through a foot injury and has been in and out of the lineup.
Anthony Davis
PPG: 21.4
RPG: 8.0
APG: 3.0
BPG: 1.8
SPG: 1.3
TPG: 2.1
PFP: 44
The Brow has missed considerable time this season because of injury but is back at a crucial time for the team as it keeps sliding in the rankings. Davis’ exploits as an offensive and defensive player are well-known around the league and he is certainly a handful at both ends. He has averaged 18 PPGÂ and 2.0 BPG since his return from injury.
Andre Drummond(Since joining Lakers)
PPG: 12.2
RPG: 9.5
SPG: 1.4
TPG: 2.2
PFP: 31
Drummond has not been in his full groove and has caught a lot of criticism from the Lakers’ fans. The team has not improved even after his inclusion and has lost games after games. Sitting in the middle of the season has made him rusty but a player of his caliber can pose a threat in the long run.
LAC vs LAL Dream11 Sleeper Picks
Marcus Morris Sr.:Â PPG: 13.7Â Â Â RPG: 4.2Â Â Â PFP: 30
Marcus has supplemented great offense for the Clippers and they look for him to pick up the overall scoring. The veteran Forward has helped his team in accumulating the offensive output regularly. He is averaging 16 PPG and 5.0 RPG since last month.
Ivica Zubac:Â PPG: 9.1Â Â RPG: 7.3Â Â TPG: 1.1Â Â Â PFP: 25
Zubac has stepped his game up as the Starting Center for his team and he has given the Clippers a lift with Ibaka out of the picture.
Kyle Kuzma:Â Â PPG: 12.7Â Â RPG: 6.2Â Â Â TPG: 1.7Â Â PFP: 29
Kuzma’s minutes reduced with the arrival of Anthony Davis a couple of years back, however, there was a slight reduction in his usage this season, but then turned up some substantial returns when he was asked to start at the Forward.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: PPG: 9.5Â Â PFP: 20
Reggie Jackson: PPG: 10.7Â Â APG: 3.2Â Â TPG: 1.1Â Â Â PFP: 26
LAC vs LAL Dream11 Team Prediction
PG: A Caruso, R Rondo
SG: K Caldwell-Pope, K Leonard
SF: P George(SP)
PF: M Morris(LAC), A Davis(PP)
C:Â Â I Zubac
