LAC vs UTA Dream11 Team Prediction NBA Projections, Fantasy Basketball Picks for Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz 20 February

Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz Fantasy NBA: The Utah Jazz will enter the game after beating the Los Angeles Clippers by a wide margin, in a game where Rudy Gobert had a monster night, racking up 23 points and 20 rebounds. However, the Clippers were without their star players in Kawhi Leonard and Paul Goerge, which has affected their offensive and defensive outlook. This LAC vs UTA Dream11 game will be second in the set of two games.

The Utah Jazz is the hottest team in the league and they have been the top team for a month or so. They have lost only 5 games this season and we are heading towards the All-Star break. Their unit is at its peak, even with their perimeter lockdown defender and terrific offensive player in Mike Conley. Donovan Mitchell is in his prime and so is Rudy Gobert, supported by shooters like Bojan Bogdanovic, a hot scorer off the bench in Jordan Clarkson, and Joe Ingles, who is known for his shooting and passing.

The Clippers are 3rd in the Western Conference NBA Standings. But even with their full-strength squad, they look a little weaker than the Jazz, who are vying for the NBA Finals spot it seems. This season is crucial for both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, both of them have a lot to prove.

The Jazz has the best record in the league and they have shown that they can remain the squad with the best record till the end of the season. Their win streak is striking because they have not done it solely on offense but have also shut their opponents down. Donovan Mitchell has let himself loose and they are in a premium position.

The Clippers have also begun well but there is some spark that is missing at the PF and C position despite two veterans in Nicolas Batum and Serge Ibaka. However, Marcus Morris has shown that he can also become a consistent score in the role of big forward. The Clippers may get their two top stars back in this game and then it can become a tough one for the Utah Jazz.

LAC vs UTA Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks:

Rudy Gobert
PPG: 14.2
RPG: 13.4
BPG: 2.7
TPG: 1.6
Projected Fantasy Points: 44
Gobert has been exceptional at the Center spot for the Utah Jazz. He has been one of the best rebounders and shot-blockers in the League, but apart from that, his long hands also enable him to finish at the apex of the rim. Rudy had a terrific night in the win against the Clippers, gathering 23 points, 20 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, and 1 steal, dominating the Center matchup. He is a wise selection as the Super-Player or Pro-Player pick in the Dream11 NBA scenario.

Donovan Mitchell
PPG: 24.2
APG: 5.1
RPG: 4.4
TPG: 3.0
Projected Fantasy Points: 35
Mitchell has become the offensive leader for the Jazz and his versatility enables him to be a premium scorer, both off the dribble and catch. Donovan has given the Jazz a consistent first option on offense. He reeled in 24 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block in the win against the Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard
PPG: 26.7
RPG: 5.9
APG: 5.0
SPG: 1.8
TPG: 1.8
Projected Fantasy Points: 42
Kawhi Leonard is one of the most intelligent players of his generation and has the ability to dominate both the offensive and defensive end. He has had a great career which involves 2 NBA Finals MVPs, showing that he is one of the best players in the League. He has missed the last two games and his status is questionable in the game but if he plays then the Clippers will have more confidence to beat the Jazz.

Jordan Clarkson
PPG: 18.2
RPG: 4.1
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 1.9
Projected Fantasy Points: 30
Clarkson has been fantastic off the bench for the Utah Jazz and he is the first option for them off the bench. He has even outscored Mitchell in multiple games and can really become hot from the field. Clarkson almost imitated his season averages in the last game against the Clippers, collecting 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in the win.

LAC vs UTA Dream11 Sleeper Picks:

Serge Ibaka: Ibaka is averaging 11.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 1.2 BPG. Serge is not the same player as he was with the Thunder and Raptors, but still keeps his body in shape and provides decent offensive and defensive output. He bagged 10 points and 4 rebounds in the loss against the Jazz. Projected Fantasy Points: 18

Bojan Bogdanovic: The SF is averaging 15.2 PPG and 4.0 RPG. Bojan plays an incredible complementary role in the Utah Jazz, providing long-range shooting and other scoring weapons. He did struggle in the win against the Clippers, posting only 5 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist. Projected Fantasy Points: 20

Joe Ingles: Ingles is averaging 11.8 PPG, 4.7 APG, and 3.5 RPG. Ingles is a 3D player, he can score, rebound, and also perform playmaking duties, and he provides such a lucrative package off the bench. Ingles posted 14 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal in the win. Projected Fantasy Points: 24

Hot Picks: Lou Williams is averaging 21 PPG and 8.67 APG in the last three games for the Clippers. Projected Fantasy Points: 26
