LAC Vs DEN Dream11 Point Guard
Registering 18.5 ppg along the 4.6 apg to go with them, Jamal Murray was always going to be an instant pick for us for this forthcoming contest. The side’s point guard has been in stupendous touch all season, dictating play for his side owing to his ability to turnover possession and pull off meticulous passes past defences.
LAC Vs DEN Dream11 Shooting Guard
Landry Shamet will be our pick as the shooting guard for this encounter. The Clippers guard is going to be integral to their chances on the day, a name who will be required to win the battle of the boards and earn possession for his side which then in turn can be converted into quick break points.
LAC Vs DEN Dream11 Small Forward
His side’s leading scorer with the 27 points per game and 7.7 rpg to accompany them, Kawhi Leonard has truly spruced his side’s gameplan this season. Not only has he sent down triples but has latched onto the second chance points as well to ensure his side’s attacking sorties have transpired into successful point conversion.
We have the one player represent us from the other side of the component as well for this outing with us moving in for Jeremy Grant for the day.
LAC Vs DEN Dream11 Power Forward
Ever since moving to the Lakers, Marcus Morris has settled down extremely nicely at the club. He’s been the perfect key to their lock, a player who has played a pivotal role in the unit’s ambitions of curtailing side’s from raking up the points against them.
The one player will represent us from the home side as well for the day with us venturing in with Torrey Craig for the contest.
LAC Vs DEN Dream11 Centre
The talisman of everything which has worked in Denver Nuggets’ way this season, Nikola Jokic was the first name on our minds even before we had begun crafting out our Dream 11 team. He has pulled off extremely pleasing to the eye displays, performances which have covered him in glory and seen him register the 20.8 ppg, 6.8 apg and 10 rpg.
Ivica Zubac marauds his way into our side from LA Clippers to bring down the curtains on our Dream 11 unit for this one.
Star Player
Leonard will be our star player with the player capable of sending down triples and floating jump points with ease.
