DEN vs LAC Dream11 Match Prediction

 

DEN vs LAC Dream11: Los Angeles Clippers travel for a high-profile matchup against the fellow Western Conference rivals Denver Nuggets at Pepsi Center. The Nuggets arrive in this game on the back of a shocking result, after losing 103-111 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was certainly a result out of the blues, and also a result that indicates that the Nuggets have a certain element of inconsistent about them. Still, the Nuggets have been consistent enough this season to occupy the second spot on the points table.
The Clippers are 3rd but can move above the Nuggets with a win in this game. They have been the fourth-best offensive team in the league, averaging more than 115 points per game so far.

Grand League tips:

  • Paul George is out of the game, so Kawhi Leonard will most probably going to end the game as the leading scorer for the Clippers in this game. He is also more than capable of producing the game-high numbers. So it makes sense to make him the captain of our Dream11 Small League teams, and captain in at least three Grand League teams.
  • Then there is Nikola Jokic. The Big Serbian may have been inconsistent this season, but he is a superstar, a rare talent. So making him your captain in at least two teams look a good call.
  • Selecting all, the likes of Jamal Murray, Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell, will be difficult, but bench players such as Landry Shamet, Jerami Grant and Monte Morris can be a good call.

Likely squads:

Denver Nuggets: Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, Monte Morris, Gary Harris, Jerami Grant, Will Barton, Malik Beasley, Torrey Craig, Juan Hernangómez, Mason Plumlee, Michael Porter Jr.
