Finally unlocking their true potential this edition of the marquee league, Los Angeles Lakers have ended up carving out the pinch perfect brand of basketball to sit atop of the Western Conference. The side have been absolutely electric this season, holding a behemoth lead to find themselves firmly planted in the pinnacles of the league standings.
And as they touch the halfway mark of their season today, the side will be looking to round off the first half of the season with their 10th win in succession. What has particularly impressed this instalment is the repertoire of players at the side’s disposal with the team managing to keep their winning spree going without player their regular star performers every encounter.

Defeating Cleveland Cavaliers 128-99 the last time around, the side pulled off a profound win, one which perfectly eulogised their flair. And in Eastern conference’s 7th placed side, they have an opposition they’ll be quietly confident of putting down today, an outfit which has struggled to settle into its groove.

LAL Vs ORL Dream11 Point Guard
With Augustin currently out for Orlando Magic owing, Michael Carter-Williams is set to be handed over another spot in his side’s playing 11. And given the way he’s grabbed the opportunities to him with both the hands, the point guard becomes pristine value at just 8 credits, a player whose scrimmages on the court have seen him pull off quick break points for the side.
LAL Vs ORL Dream11 Shooting Guard
We continue with the picks from Orlando with Terrence Ross making a way into our side for the outing. If his side are going to have any chance of pulling off a stunning result today, they’ll be needing him to emulate the same rousing displays which have seen him drops treys from both outside the circle and the midrange region.
LAL Vs ORL Dream11 Small Forward
With 10.7 assists per game, LeBron James was always going to find a place in our Dream 11 contingent for this outing. The small forward has not only dictated play for his side with his layups and ability to control the centre of the court with his quick ball movements and rotations but has sent down points in the paint as well to see us go in with him.
He’s going to be accompanied with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to see us opt for a one-two from the land of Los Angeles Lakers for this clash.
LAL Vs ORL Dream11 Power Forward
Just the one player for us from Orlando Magic for this encounter with Khem Birch being picked up by us. He’s a dual natured player, someone capable of being prevelant in both the paints of the court to see us bring him in.
LAL Vs ORL Dream11 Centre
Orlando’s leading scorer with 19.2 ppg, Nikola Vucevic is going to be picked up by us from the side for this encounter. He’s not just positioned himself articulately underneath the opposition’s pole but has pulled off reverse scoops and points in the paint to become a mainstay of his side’s gameplan.
Up against a side which has faltered way too easily in their ability to drop points, JaVale McGee becomes a must have pick for this contest. The player has not only guarded and screened players but has registered a plethora of deflections and rebounds as well to see him come in for us.
Dwight Howards has been in imperious touch off late as well for the outfit, stringing his way a slew of points for the side with his ability to pull off floating jump points and spin and slams to see us go in with him as well.
Star Player
L James will be our team’s star player for the encounter.
