PHX vs LAC Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers

PHX vs LAC Dream11: The NBA enters the All-Star Break steadily and well, I will say it again, I have little to no interest in the so-called festivities. For me, the Regular Season is heading into an important period as the postseason push will peak once the Play-in tournament window closes in. For me, the All-Star Break serves as a great pause for many players to relax and for various behind-the-scenes staff to also take a much-needed rest. And then coaching staff will push the squads to make a definitive push towards the Playoffs. And well, one of the teams in Phoenix Suns barely cares about making  the Playoffs as they are already heading into a position of finishing at the top of the Conference. And they do meet an opponent in the Clippers that are surely making a desperate push to at least lodge a Play-in spot.

The Suns have won more than 80% of their games and they have lodged so many huge winning streaks that they have hit virtually non-beatable windows for long stretches. They are a potent team both away from home and at home. The Suns keep on dazzling opponents with their ability to pile on wins.

On the other hand, wins have been harder to come by for the Clippers, who are a game below the 50% win mark. However, their season has been commendable considering how many long-term injuries their players have suffered. Reggie Jackson has been instrumental at the one-guard and some players are hitting their peak at the right time.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Match-ups: Clippers can be overwhelmed
Before we jump into the match-ups, the Clippers have been playing the second game on the second night but yes, they did beat the Warriors. They play this fixture away from home against a red-hot team and the unit has been doing a great job on a regular basis. The Suns will be fresher compared to the Clippers but yes they can face fierce resistance from a team that refuses to be taken lightly after beating Mavericks and Warriors, two wonderful squads.

At the guard position, the Suns are almost always trumping the battle. With Chris Paul, the helmsman, they are able to get quality passing and also boost in the scoring column. Talking about scoring column, Devin Booker has been having another high-yielding scoring season and has been pushing the agenda at a beautiful rate. These two complement each other ball and since Paul has come, Booker’s load has decreased considerably.

On the other hand, the Clippers’ guards Jackson and Mann have been doing well recently. Mann has especially picked up his scoring and he does a lot more than scoring. However, both of them will have to work tirelessly on both ends as they go up against Suns that have a sturdy defense and can also pile up pain on offense. At the wing positions, with Leonard, George, and Powell out, the combination of Suns’ Bridges, Crowder, Craig, and Johnson heavily outmatches them.

In the middle, Deandre Ayton is one of the best in the league at finishing inside, clasping rebounds, and playing superb defense, and is more consistent than the Clippers’ Ivica Zubac. Ivica has been having some strong games but lets us be honest, Ayton will have that advantage over him on most nights. JaVale McGee also brings superb hops off the bench and the Clippers can get overwhelmed on that end most likely. Batum can give tremendous defense but Crowder at big Forward/wing can be a more than a handful. Bench-wise, Robert Covington, Amir Coffey, and Luke Kennard can face a ton of challenges from the Suns’ bench of McGee, Johnson, Craig, Payton but yes, the main five of the Suns can run away with this first-up.
