GSW vs LAL Dream11 : Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers go at loggerheads today for the second time in as many days
Advertisement
Ever since the transfers which took place preceding the upcoming edition of NBA and the performances they had doled out in the last season, Golden State Warriors were always going to endure a tricky time this time around. This was no longer the side which had won two titles in the 2017 and 2018 season, a side which from being packed with star performer to losing its slew of worldclass players this time around.
And the brunt the side have had to face with the exodus of skilled players from their side is clearly visible with the cracks already developing in the side even before the season has gotten underway. They have failed to win a single preseason game till now, losing to today’s opponents in their previous outing with a 104-98.
As the side get ready to take on Los Angeles Lakers for the second side in the space of as many days, things hardly look any more maverick for the side. The side are devoid of a slew of star performers with their key players suffering injuries and with the side looking bereft of options to cover the gaping holes with, Los Angeles Lakers enter this clash as the overwhelming favourites.
From disappointing in the bygone season to looking to finally unlock the true potential of their side these preseason matches are more than matches to just tune out their sides. The team is looking to lay down a marker and set a stamen ahead of the season, using these fixtures as matches which provide impetuous to their upcoming season and will be looking to emote the same performance from last time around today as well.

GSW vs LAL Dream11 Point Guard
In what was a stunning display by the point guard in the previous match against the same opponent as today, Zach Norvell end up tallying an impressive showing where he came up with 22 points for his side. Along with it, he was heavily involved in pulling off steals and assists as well, an all round imperious display where he revelled us in a staunch performance to see him come into our outfit for this clash as well from Los Angeles Lakers.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Shooting Guard
With Klay Thompson out for his side for the entire season, Golden State Warriors have been looking to develop other players to shift into the shooting guard role in his place. It has seen them turn their attention and efforts to Jordan Poole with the player being asked to fill in for Thompson. He has impressed in glimpses, showing that he’s capable of becoming a regular player for his side, seeing us opt for him today.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Small Forward
Although GSW ended up losing their previous match, in Alfonzo McKinne they ended up unearthing a promising player. His 11 points, four rebounds, one steal and one block was a display reminiscent to the one Stepehn Curry is revered for and with Curry set to be rested for this clash, McKinne will be warranted an increased in magnitude role, seeing us go in with him today.
Elsewhere we have duo coming in from Los Angeles Lakers, bringing in the indomitable and dauntless Devontae Cook and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for this clash. The two have been hailed and serenaded with plaudits for their upbeat showings, ones which have seen them layup the ball for each other and send down baskets from inside the circle by bringing into place their floating and jump shots.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Power Forward
At a time when his side’s defender was failing and falling apart shambolically, in Eric Paschall, GSW found a player who was more than willing to wage a lone battle for his side. While he got the six points, it was his defensive display which stood out amongst the rest of his counterparts, seeing him pick up three rebounds, two steals and the one block as well.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Centre
Dwight Howard and Javale McGee are both brought in by us for this encounter with both the players from Los Angeles Lakers having put in imperious displays. The centres have been critical to the side’s consummate success, two players who have regaled us in tenacious and succulent performances by not only picking up points in the paint but also controlling the side’s ball rotations and ensuring the ball movements were carried out perfectly for the outfit.
Star Player
We will be making Howard our side’s star player for this clash.
