LAL VS HOU Dream11 Team Prediction, NBA Regular Season: LAL vs HOU Dream11 Basketball Match Season match-up: The Los Angeles Lakers will enter the game after drubbing the Thunder by 29 points in a road fixture. LeBron James again led the team in points with a 26 points performance and continued to dominate his opponents. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are coming off a 5 points loss against the Los Angeles Clippers despite Nickeil Alexander-Walker dropping 37 points. The Lakers have begun this season as the champions and showed why they reign supreme in this League. The leadership of LeBron James has made sure that players know their role and Anthony Davis has continued to wreak havoc on both ends of the court. The Pelicans have started the season poorly and the Guard position has unable to generate the required offense, which means the addition of Eric Bledsoe is not bearing fruits as expected. Despite having one of the most dynamic forward duos in Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, the Pelicans squad looks out of sorts. This game will take place at the Staples Center, which is the home floor for the Lakers. More information about LAL vs NOP Dream11 fixture will be related here.

LAL vs NOP Dream11 Match Prediction
Lakers are the favorites in this game although LeBron James and Anthony Davis are questionable for the game, and if both of them miss the game then the Lakers will suffer on both ends of the floor. If either of James and Davis plays in the game then the Pelicans will have their hands full and will have to play out of their skins to sneak a win. The Point Guard position has holes for the Pels, but Nickeil’s last game’s impressive 37 points performance will certainly raise up the spirits in this department.
