POR vs LAL Dream11 Fantasy NBA, Trailblazers vs Lakers, 8 May

Trailblazers vs Lakers Fantasy NBA: The Portland Trailblazers will come into this game after beating the Cavaliers rallying around a 32 points outburst by Damian Lillard. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers will enter the battle after losing to the Clippers despite a 25 points outing by Kyle Kuzma. More information about POR vs LAL Dream11 will be given here.

Trailblazers’ season: While Portland has been better than last season, they ought to have a better record considering their incredible roster make-up. Lillard has continued to be an offensive enforcer, CJ has also racked up points, while the acquisition of Powell has given the depth at SF, whereas Carmelo and Kanter have been instrumental off the bench. The defense has been a problem for Portland, who ranks 23th in the opposition PPG and gives away a bunch of points. Terry Stots’ job as the head coach is in danger if he doesn’t make a deep Playoffs run.

Lakers’ season: Lakers have been having a tough time with Davis and LeBron missing from action time and time again. Drummond is taking a lot of time to adjust after sitting out much of the season when he was with the Cavaliers. The team is relying upon role players like Kyle Kuzma, and now with Dennis Schroeder out, the team which was peaking in January has lost their groove. The Lakers have slipped to 6th in the NBA Standings for Western Conference.

POR vs LAL Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks

Damian Lillard
PPG: 28.4
APG: 7.6
RPG: 4.2
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 3.1
Projected Fantasy Points: 48
Dame Dolla has mounted an MVP-styled campaign and the Trailblazers have also benefitted from his exploits. He has continued to be one of the more prolific scorers and ranks third in terms of three-pointers made. The stalwart PG will like Trailblazers to qualify for the NBA Playoffs and surprise the elite squads by being the party spoilers. He is also a great pick as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.

Anthony Davis
PPG: 20.8
RPG: 7.8
BPG: 1.8
SPG: 1.2
TPG: 2.0
PFP: 44
The Brow has missed considerable time this season because of injury but is back at a crucial time for the team as it keeps sliding in the rankings. Davis’ exploits as an offensive and defensive player are well-known around the league and he is certainly a handful at both ends. He is a “game-time decision”.

CJ McCollum
PPG: 22.8
APG: 4.8
RPG: 4.1
SPG: 1.0
TPG: 1.4
PFP: 39
The dynamic guard has flown under the radar because he plays with Dame Dolla but since the injury, he has seen his scoring fall a little. Despite the fall, he has the ability to rack up points in a hurry courtesy of his shooting and finishing abilities. He has scored 20 points or more thrice in the last 5 contests.

Kyle Kuzma:
PPG: 12.9
RPG: 6.2
TPG: 1.7
PFP: 29
Kuzma’s minutes reduced with the arrival of Anthony Davis a couple of years back, however, there was a slight reduction in his usage this season, but then turned up some substantial returns when he was asked to start at the Forward. He has averaged 14 PPG since April and has played over 30 minutes per game continuously.

POR vs LAL Dream11 Sleeper Picks

Andre Drummond(Since joining Lakers): PPG: 12.0 RPG: 9.5 SPG: 1.4
TPG: 2.2 PFP: 31
Drummond has not been in his full groove and has caught a lot of criticism from the Lakers’ fans. The team has not improved even after his inclusion and has lost games after games. Sitting in the middle of the season has made him rusty but a player of his caliber can pose a threat in the long run.

Norman Powell(since joining Trailblazers): PPG: 17.0 RPG: 3.0 SPG: 1.4
TPG: 1.6 PFP: 36
Powell’s addition adds spice to the SF position for Portland, however, it will take him some to get integrated into his new role. He has scored 20+ points 2 times out of the last 5 games.

Jusuf Nurkic: PPG: 10.9 RPG: 8.6 APG: 3.2 BPG: 1.0 TPG: 2.0
PFP: 34
This season has been full of struggles for the Center, but he has played some inspired basketball since mid-April. He is averaging 14.2 PPG and 10.2 RPG for the last 5 games.

Enes Kanter: PPG: 11.5 RPG: 11.2 TPG: 1.1 PFP: 23
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: PPG: 9.5 PFP: 20
