Published on: Dec 13, 2021 11:22 am IST|Updated on: Dec 13, 2021 11:22 am IST
LAC vs PHX Dream11: Long NBA season, multiple injuries, COVID-19 threat, these are some of the phrases that are prevalent in the NBA world. The Clippers are three games above the 50% win mark and have won three in a row. On the other hand, the Suns have just four losses and 21 wins.
Clippers have been in decent touch lately and their wins have come without Paul George. Luke Kennard has stepped up his game while Reggie Jackson has continued to be a go-to option. Mann has done a great job too while Zubac is one of the most consistent players in the team. Now, the Clippers will need to hold on to a 4-5 wins above 50% win record till Kawhi returns.
Suns have been the best team in the league this season in terms of record. With Chris Paul handling the ball and set-up his teammates. Suns are deep and have a great team sense because of which they have the best record. The team has been doing well even without Devin Booker.
Host: LA Clippers
Visitors: Phoenix Suns
Match Timing: 12 December, @ 02:00 AM
Venue: Staples Center
NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Clippers: The bench has risen up
First, Marcus Morris stepped in with three 20+ points games, Luke Kennard has done a wonderful job of scoring 15-25 points in absence of George and Mann has shown some flair, even rookie Brandon Boston had a 25+ points game, three of these players in Kennard, Mann, and Brandon are in bench roles. Of course, Reggie Jackson is the heartbeat on offense without George but the Clippers have seen massive contributions from the bench and that is why the team has the potential to surprise teams come playoff times, they are deep, and with little cohesion, they can light a spark when Leonard returns. See, with Leonard back, they will have wonderful depth in the bench, both experienced and hungry young players in the mix.
Suns: Well-built squad
Phoenix is strong at every position and that is what makes them so hard to beat. The team has won four out of five games without Devin Booker and Chris Paul has wheeled this team well. With two wings Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges you get two-way production while the bench guard depth of Shamet, Payne, and Cameron can cause serious damage. Ayton is an integral part in the middle for getting high-quality points, rebounds, and defense, while off the bench, JaVale McGee keeps the oppositions busy on both ends of the floor. The Suns were in the Finals last season and their core has proven once again that they are ready for primetime.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks
Chris Paul(PHX)
Points: 10
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 12
Blocks: 02
Steals: 01
CP-3 is one of the best playmakers to ever be in the NBA and that can be known by the fact that he is third on the all-time assists list. Paul can dish out 9-14 assists on a regular basis. He can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-44
Reggie Jackson (LAC )
Points: 25
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 03
Steals: 01
Blocks: 01
After a relatively dry period, Reggie showed his guns versus the Magic. When he is at his best, Reggie Jackson can easily chip in with 21-27 points and hit key buckets.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 23-37
Cameron Payne(PHX)
Points: 17
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 05
Payne can be a starter for some of the teams with his ability to both score and set up teammates. The guard scores in the 6-9 points range usually but in every third or fourth game, he can come up with 13-18 points.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 19-27
JaVale McGee(PHX)
Points: 21
Rebounds: 15
Assists: 02
Blocks: 02
McGee cleans up boards and rain down inside scoring and can wreak havoc in depleted minutes. Now, if Ayton plays then his scoring-rebounding range is 6-9 points, 5-8 rebounds, if he doesn’t then expect 15-21 points and 10-15 rebounds from JaVale.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 19-42
Terance Mann(LAC)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 09
Assists: 02
Steals: 01
Mann is an athletic guard who can score, rebound, and can also play some solid defense. He scores in the 6-9 points range, grabs rebounds in a 5-10 range. I feel Terance can increase that scoring, he has shown the ability to score big before.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-33
