PHX vs LAL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Phoenix Suns vs LA Lakers

PHX vs LAL Dream11: The NBA is an exciting league and with its expanded fanbase, we have seen the league reach the various parts of the international audience, and recently its expansion in the Indian subcontinent has been praiseworthy. And as the Playoffs are nearing, the intensity knob will be turned on as the race to the Playoffs is reaching the peak level. So, basically, this is an exciting period for the fans who tune into the league on a daily basis. And with that let us tune in to the game between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Suns have been the best team in the league and they have done a wonderful job of piling up wins. However, the winning trail has been disturbed a little with the absence of Chris Paul, however, they have set such a high standard that even a slight failing can appear huge in their context. Let us see what Booker and co. from here on with Paul may be out for one more month or so.

On the other hand, the Lakers have been an embarrassing season overall. They patched up LeBron, Davis, and Westbrook but the experiment has fallen off for sure. Davis has been injured for the most part and one thing is for sure, the Lakers fans are scratching their heads at this point. However, that hasn’t stopped LeBron from picking up his game and he looks determined.

Host: Phoenix Suns

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Suns: Picking the league apart
The Suns lost to the Raptors 112:117 in the last game where Cameron Payne put up 24 points and grabbed 7 rebounds while dishing 4 assists. However, that wasn’t enough as Devin Booker put up 22 as well. Actually, it was a balanced scoring effort but in the end, the Raptors looked more inspired to win the game. Without Chris Paul, the Suns have had some trouble in terms of closing out games and his role as a floor general has been huge. The bench balance has also been disturbed without Cameron Johnson and it is clear, that the Suns team is facing more challenges as of now. However, with Booker, Payne, Bridges, Crowder, and Ayton, the main five are stacked. The schedule from the fourth week of March will get trickier so the team can see some losses but overall, they’re ain in a prime position to finish at the top.

Lakers: Getting picked apart
The Lakers did beat the Wizards 122:109 which has been one of their best outcomes in recent memory. LeBron James dipped in 50 points and this was his second 50+ points performance this month so you can see that the major load is resting upon him and without Anthony Davis, the team’s size and frontline is compromised. Malik Monk looped up 21 points and he has once again hit a sweet spot on offense this season. However, Westbrook followed his 30 points performance with just 5 points. Austin Reaves has also done well recently while Carmelo continues to be a formidable stretch-four. The trouble with the Lakers is that they lack size upfront and with Davis out, they have been at times getting massively outrebounded, so yes, this lack of rebounding, defense, and hustle has hurt them big-time.
