Lakers vs Cavaliers Fantasy NBA: The short-handed Los Angeles Lakers will come into the contest after losing to the Sixers despite Kyle Kuzma’s 23 points performance. On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers will enter the game after beating the Bulls, in a game where Larry Nance piled up 14 points and 14 rebounds. A lineup related to the LAL vs CLE Dream11 will be given at the end of the article.
Lakers’ season: Lakers were in great form despite losing Anthony Davis in February with an injury, but now they are in a fix as they have also lost LeBron for at least the next three weeks. Los Angeles will need to regroup and look for more production from Kuzma, Harrell, and Schroeder. Lakers didn’t make any major moves during the trade deadline and stuck with the roster they have.
Cavaliers season: Cavs are in the rebuilding phase. They don’t have a playoff-contending team right now and it will be a long season for the team and its fans. The Cavaliers do have emerging guards in Collin Sexton and Darius Garland so they will be looking at this season as an opportunity to nurture their young players.

LAL vs CLE Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Collin Sexton
PPG: 24.0
APG: 4.3
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 2.8
Projected Fantasy Points: 38
Collin has the potential to become an all-star guard but there is a long way to go as a player for the 22-year-old. He has shown terrific talent scoring the ball but still has to learn how to become a floor general and efficient distributor, though time is certainly on his side. The young guard is averaging an impressive 26.1 PPG in March. He can be picked as the Super-Player in Dream11 NBA play.
Dennis Schroeder
PPG: 15.1
APG: 4.8
RPG: 3.5
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 2.6
PFP: 33
Schroeder will have to assume both primary scorer and playmaker duties with LeBron James out with injury. The guard is also an effective defender who makes it tough to score through his shifty frame. Dennis is averaging 19 PPG, 6.4 APG, and 1.4 SPG since the last 5 games.
Montrezl Harrell
PPG: 14.9
RPG: 6.6
TPG: 1.1
PFP: 36
Harrell has been in great form this season and he has been able to produce at an elite rate courtesy of tenacity and skills. He will need to continue his production and some more for a short-handed squad. He is averaging an incredible 19.2 PPG this month.
Darius Garland
PPG: 16.6
APG: 5.9
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 3.0
PFP: 36
Garland is a great option for the Cavaliers and provides decent shooting. Garland has been garnering great production this month and he has been able to average 21.6 PPG and 6.2 APG for the last 5 games.

Larry Nance Jr.:Â Â PPG: 9.6Â Â RPG: 6.9Â Â Â APG: 3.0Â Â SPG: 1.9Â Â Â TPG: 1.5
PFP: 30
Larry has become a dependable rebounder, defender, and does a little bit of everything for his squad. He is averaging 8 RPG and 2.2 SPG since the last 5 games.
Kyle Kuzma:Â PPG: 12.4Â Â RPG: 6.7Â Â TPG: 1.6Â Â Â PFP: 31
Kuzma has stepped up his game without Anthony Davis in the picture and he has proven to be an effective scorer and rebounder at the PF position. He is averaging 17.3 PPG and 7.7 RPG in March.
Jarrett Allen:Â Â PPG: 13.8Â Â RPG: 9.7Â Â BPG: 1.7Â Â Â TPG: 1.4Â Â Â PFP: 34

Markieff Morris is averaging 7 PPG and 6 RPG since the last 3 games.
Talen Horton-Tucker:Â PPG: 7.9Â Â RPG: 2.7Â Â PFP: 20
