LAC vs POS Dream11 : La Clippers play their second match in as many days when they take on a lapses filled Portland Trail Blazers side today
Advertisement
They might have lost yesterday’s encounter against Milwaukee Bucks, but the vociferous support of LA Clippers will be hardly dismayed by that performance. Despite being devoid of the services of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the pulsating tie, the side put in a profound display, one which showcased the immense slew of worldclass performers imbued in the side
In what was undoubtedly one of the most entertaining matches in the showpiece league till now as two gigantic sides took on each other, the contest played out exactly as we head envisaged. It was a humdinger of an affair, a riveting and intriguing affair which saw the match go down to the culminating stages before the Bucks were able to pull off a 129-124 win on the day.
While the result handed over LA Clippers their third defeat in eight matches, the side will not be massively deterred when they take on Portland Trail Blazers as they strive to move ahead of the fifth place they occupy at the moment. They are taking on a way inferior side, an opposition which with just three wins in seven matches finds itself struggling in 10th position in the Western Conference.
Their latest 128-117 defeat to GSW was a testament to the ever prevelant glaring weaknesses in the side with the outfit failing to show the stomach of a fight and punch above their weight against a aide stricken with injury issues. LA Clippers are way too gargantuan a side for them, a team they’ll be extremely dicey to defeat with the side set to serve as little less than pushovers in the imminent encounter.

LAC vs POS Dream11 Point Guard
His side’s top scorer with the 31 points, Damian Lillard has pulled off an impressive 7 assists per encounter as well to see us make the point guard our first player in this segment. The player will play an integral role in his side’s attacking plays, someone who’ll be asked to control the centre of the court ball movements and the side’s scrimmages if they are to give their opponents a levelly balanced fight.
From La Clippers meanwhile we have opted to get in Patrik Beverly for today after his imperious and tenacious displays till now.
LAC vs POS Dream11 Shooting Guard
Rodney Hood was injured till off late but with the player coming back for today’s encounter, we have brought in the shooting guard into our setup as well. It’s his ability to find the open threes and send them down with relative ease which sees us repose faith in him for the match.
LAC vs POS Dream11 Small Forward
The most heavily packed segment of our side, we have the three players lining up this facet of our Dream 11 side with us beginning with La Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard. The player was rested for the side’s last two clashes but s set to make a return for this match, making the team’s leading points scorer with 29.3 points, 6 assists and 7.3 rebounds an instant proposition for us.
He finds company in the form of Maurice Harkless who filled over the gaping hole left by him dutifully while we have the singular player come in from the other side as well in the form of Mario Hezonja.
LAC vs POS Dream11 Power Forward
If Portland are to have any chance of salvaging anything for this encounter and halting La Clippers in their attacking soirees, they’ll require their defensive setup to be astute and articulate. The services of Patrick Patterson will be quintessential to the side in pulling off a hoard of blocks, steals and deflections, something we see him carrying out for the outfit.
LAC vs POS Dream11 Centre
With LA Clippers playing their second match in successive days, Ivica Zubac should be handed over an escalated role today, making the centre excellent value for the match.
LAC vs POS Dream11 Star Player
We have decided to divulge in the services of Leonard as our side’s star performer for this contest.
