LAL vs CLE Dream11 Match Prediction

 

LAL vs CLE Dream11: In an inter-conference battle in the NBA regular season, Los Angeles Lakers face the Cleveland Cavaliers at Staples Center on Tuesday morning (IST). The Lakers arrive in this game on the back of 8 straight wins, with the last once perhaps the most impressive as the Showtime missed both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and still managed to outplay the Oklahoma City Thunder 110-125 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Cleveland Cavaliers also recorded a magnificent win of their own in the last game as the 2016 champions beat the Denver Nuggets 103-111 at Pepsi Center on Sunday. However, the Cavaliers remain at a distant six games away from the playoff race at the moment and need to maintain the level they showed against Nikola Jokic and Co to stand any chance of qualifying for the post-season.
