LAC vs MIN Dream11 Prediction NBA Projections, Daily Fantasy Basketball Team, Top Picks and Tips for LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

LAC vs MIN Dream11: NBA has produced some of the most exciting basketball battles over the years. In this game, two inter-conference teams in Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves come face-to-face. Clipper is on a roll right now, winning six in a row after a slow start. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves did win against the Lakers in the last match but seem to be heading for another losing season.

Clippers have a lot of options and incredible team depth. Paul George is the engine of this team in all ways, being their ace scorer. Jackson and Bledsoe have been prolific in the backcourt, Batum has stepped up his game, Zubac is reliable, Kennard and Mann have been huge off the bench and this team is clicking right now on all cylinders. All this without Kawhi. Timberwolves largely rely upon three players, Russell, Towns, and Edwards, bereft of any depth and have faced major struggles this season. Does the win against the Lakers mean something?

Host: Los Angeles Clippers
Visitors: Minnesota Timberwolves
Match Timing: 14 November, @ 09:00 AM
