When the preseason encounters were crafted out and made an onset in the dramatic land of NBA, one set of fixtures which were avidly awaited for by ardent lovers of the exhibition league were the three matches between Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. However, Golden State Warriors have imbedded in place lapses filled displays, ones which have left them in distress to see them lose the two matches in succession to Los Angeles Lakers.
While this season was never going to be an easy one for Golden State Warriors with the side no longer the worldclass outfit which was laden to the brim with star performers, the way GSW have regressed in these two matches has been unprecedented. It’s not just the defeats but rather the manner in which they have come which has been a big reason for dejection, displays which have pointed towards the immense decline which threaten to engulf the side in.
They lost their preseason match by a colossal score of 126-93, a chastening defeat which only furthered their plight this set of preseason matches. They are yet to win a preseason tie against Los Angeles Lakers as things stand, something they’ll be looking to overturn as the side try to unlock the true potential in their side.
Elsewhere, Los Angeles Lakers have little qualms to address ahead of the forthcoming final preseason match for them. Despite playing a side bereft of their main options in the previous clash, they were the dominant force, a side which left GSW in dismay, decimating them with consummate ease. Things look extremely fruitful for the side ahead of this encounter, one where they can easily emote their clinical display from the bygone contest.

GSW vs LAL Dream11 Point Guard
Stephen Curry didn’t play for his side the last time around but the point guard should be back for Golden State Warriors for this encounter. In a season where the side have had to bid farewell to their myriad names, the onus on Curry has increased in magnitude with the player needing to not only emulate the displays which have made him the talismanic name he is but needed to up the ante this time around.
We tallied 27.3 points per match in the previous season, a player whose ability to move past defences with ease and lay himself up from outside the circle to send in treys with consummate ease, make him an instant choice for us today.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Shooting Guard
With Klay Thompson out for GSW for a good amount of time, the side have looked to tune out Jordan Poole for the upcoming season, giving him extended time out on the court. It’s set to continue in this way, seeing him get an escalated role in this one as well and with the outfit relying so much on their sublime three pointer game with a success rate of 38.5% in triples last season, the player will be heavily involved for his side today as well.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Small Forward
From Los Angeles Lakers, we finally have the first players come into the docket of our side, choosing the two names from the unit in the form of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Devontae Cock. With LeBron James set to be out of the side for this clash, these two should intertwine time on the court in between each other, two players who can easily position themselves outside the circle as well as inside it to send down floating jump and floating shots.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Power Forward
With Anthony Davis set to miss this one as confirmed by his side, Kostas Antetokounmpo should be getting an extended role for his side today, making him our power forward for this one. With GSW eyeing up three in abundance, Kostas will play a massive role in his side’s defensive ambit, someone who’ll be asked to block GSW’s attacks and earn possession for his side.
From GSW meanwhile we have gone in with Draymond Green with the player getting 7 rebounds per clash and the 7 assists to go with them as well.
GSW vs LAL Dream11 Centre
The two players come into our side yet again, both of them coming in from LAL this time around. The side have relied on their centres to guard their paint, transitioning the ball from defence to attack by coming up with steal to turnover possession and see the side emerge as the dominant force.
Star Player
Curry comes into our side as today’s star player.
