GSW vs LAL Dream11 : Second preseason match between these two sides offers GSW a chance to get back at Los Angeles Clippers for last time’s routing

When Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are going at loggerheads against each other, you know it’s always going to be a colossal encounter. This clash might come bearing with it the identity of only a preseason tie but with both of today’s opponents looking to lay down their marker ahead of the forthcoming season, we envisage this to be nothing short of a regular season contest.
What increases he intrigue around today’s clash is the way the previous fixture between these two transpired, a clash which saw Los Angeles Clippers leave Golden State Warriors minced, miffed and lambasted. A 66-36 win for LA Clipper on the day was as clinical a showing as they come, one which saw them curb an extradonaire GSW outfit and outshine them in every facet to reign supreme.
Hurting from that routing, GSW finally got their first win of the preseason contests each they were so ardently craving for in their foregone fixture. A 143-123 win against Minnesota Timberwolves in their previous clash was just the win they needed ahead of today’s staunch affair as they go at loggerheads against Los Angeles Clippers yet again.
Elsewhere for the Clippers, today’s clash is all about continuing in their galloping ways and looking to hand GSW a second defeat as they look to finally unlock the true potential in the side. Their previous season was a lacklustre one at best, one where the side dwindled and failed to make it into the conference finals, a season where the side were massively lamented for their sordid results.
Preparations for the upcoming season have gone well for them though with a win over GSW being followed up by a second win in succession over Minnesota United. The 118-110 result put them in good stride ahead of this clash, one where the side take on a massively strengthen GSW outfit, a side which will push its every resource in a bid to avenge their previous howler of a display.

GSW vs LAL Dream11 Point Guard
With Golden Sate Warriors failing to hang onto their star performers after last year’s debacle saw them crash out in the running in for the final, the onus on point guard Stephen Curry has grown immensely in magnitude. He will not just be asked to emulate last season’s showing but up it in ante as the side look to recover their 2017 and 2018 form which saw them win the title in both those seasons.
And the imperious player should just how succulent a performer he is, picking up 40 points in the previous match along with the 6 rebounds and 6 assists, an incredible display which saw him lay down a statement yet again. It was a pulsating display from one of the most sublime players in not just the game but in the basket fraternity, making him an instant selection for today’s upcoming clash.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Shooting Guard
Klay Thompson’s injury for today’s clash means Jordan Poole should be in GSW’s playing 5 for this impending clash. The side are an outfit who have thrived due to the three point shooters, seeing a massive amount of their game rely on shooting treys down the court with the outfit getting a colossal 1,087 three pointers in the previous season.
Poole will feature heavily in this narrative for his side today, seeing him come into our side given his escalated role for the team.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Small Forward
He was not only the side’s top scorer in the previous season with 27.4 points per match but got the 8.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists as well per clash to see LeBron James come into our setup from Los Angeles Clippers. Stitching teams the previous season didn’t quite work out his way but the team have handed him a two toned role which ascertains the fact of him getting points, seeing him come into our side today.
We have picked up Devontae Cacok as well from the outfit with the small forward barraging his way inside the opposition’s circle and cantering towards their pole to be on the end of layups. His ability to pick up steals and get quick break points for the side make him a good pick for this clash.
From GSW on the other hand we have opted for Glenn Robinson, someone who will play a quissential role for this outfit in this clash in sending down triples from the edge of the circle.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Power Forward
We have Anthony Davis come into our side for this fixture due to his role in the sides defence. LA Clippers pulled of 8 steals per match in the bygone season and with GSW averaging 117 points per clash in the last edition, LA Clippers will need to emanate the same defensive display which made them such a staunch side.
Davis will be positioned right beneath his side’s pole to pull of blocks, seeing him be selected by us for today’s clash.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Centre
Two players come into our side for today’s encounter with us picking up both the centres from Los Angeles Clippers. In Dwight Howard and Javale McGee, the outfit have a duo of two stalwarts, players who are not only the first to latch onto rebounds and deflections but also ensure that they screen opposition attackers perfectly.
Star Player
Curry is being picked up by us as our side’s star player for this clash.
