LAC vs SAS Dream11 Prediction NBA Projections, Daily Fantasy Basketball Team, Top Picks and Tips for LA Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs

LAC vs SAS Dream11: The battle here will take place between two teams with different goals and a contrasting journey. In this game, the San Antonio Spurs will visit the iconic Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Clippers. Spurs have more than double losses than wins while Clippers recently went on a seven-game win streak before a loss to the Bulls.

Clippers are an experienced team with an all-veteran starting lineup. George is the team’s ace leading them in nearly all major categories while veteran guards Bledsoe and Jackson have been huge as well. Zubac has played big in the middle while Nic Batum has given the team its defensive identity. Off the bench, Mann and Kennard have been brilliant in flashes.

For the San Antonio Spurs, the road has been tricky but that is understandable. The team has mainly young players among which DeJounte Murray has emerged as the primetime player. Keldon Johnson has shown improvements rebounding-wise while Jakob Poelt, who is injured right now was having a season of his life. Add guards Devin Vassell, Lonnie Walker, and Derrick White in the mix and you have an offense-heavy team graced by perimeter shooting of Doug McDermott.

Host: Los Angeles Clippers
Visitors: San Antonio Spurs
Match Timing: 15 November, @ 08:00 AM
Venue: Staples Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Clippers: Uses its experience well
Clippers have done well in terms of playing defense and limiting teams. The offense can be a bit shaky at times but two outings that yielded 120+ points during the win streak indicate vast improvements since the first few games of the season. This team has earned some blowout wins and the Spurs can be at the receiving end of one here considering their defensive frailties.

Spurs: Inexperience hurts at the defensive side
Spurs are top-ten in offense, accumulating around 109 PPG, however, they also give around the same amount of points away. The team is not defensive-oriented and apart from being young, there is a lack of defensive anchors. Rebounding is another issue that hurts them, as opponents outrebound them by 3 on average, and with around 44 rebounds per game, San Antonio figures among the bottom of the group.
