With a full strength Los Angeles Lakers going to Memphis Grizzlies yesterday, the tie was envisaged by many to a foregone conclusion. Not even the most boisterous of Memphis supporters would have given the side a chance to survive in the fixture, a set of events which made the win over the Lakers all the more special for the side.
The 105-88 win stunned not only the Lakers but the entire basketball fraternity with Memphis cutting apart the Western Conference leaders to maraud their way to a comprehensive win on the day. It was a win which silenced their naysayers and at the same time provided the league with a much yearned for idea on how to putdown the Lakers.
It’s a gameplan New Orleans Pelicans will be looking to deploy today as the Lakers partake in a hectic and congested schedule to play their second fixture away from home in as many days. Defeating Cleveland 114-106 the last time around, New Orleans Pelicans find themselves standing on the cusp of breaching into the top 8, something which will buy them today.
Probable Winner
Despite their defeat, the Lakers will be undeterred when they make an advent into today’s upcoming encounter. Nothing takes away from the fact that they have absolutely torched their way towards the top of the points tally, side which will be out scouring for redemption today and should manage to rake up a win.

NOP Vs LAL Dream11 Point Guard
Alex Caruso will be our pick for the point guard slot for today’s upcoming contest. The clamour for his involvement in each of the Lakers’ games has fervently gown with each passing game owing to his ability to transition the ball from defence to attack with consummate ease.
NOP Vs LAL Dream11 Shooting Guard
He’s paired alongside Avery Bradley, a player who should thrive today owing to his opposition’s lopsided defence. He’s up against a side which has found it tricky to stop triples from going today, a narrative which should see Bradley come up with a slew of baskets from the deep today.
NOP Vs LAL Dream11 Small Forward
With 25.7 ppg and the 11 apg, LeBron James was always going to be a must have selection for us for the upcoming encounter. He’s yet again revelled in a sublime season, one which has seen him both send down triples and layup the ball for the rest of his team, a dual nature which has seen him drop some solid double-doubles.
Elsewhere, we finally have our first player from New Orleans Pelicans make an advent into our component with E’Twaun Moore earning a place in our contingent.
NOP Vs LAL Dream11 Power Forward
Los Angeles Lakers’ top scorer with the 26.2 ppg and the 9.2 rpg to go with them, Anthony Davis has never left our side. He’s come up with a hoard of triple-doubles all season, a player who has pulled off a high conversion range when shooting points in the paint and delivering deflections and rebounds. From New Orleans Pelicans meanwhile we’ll be beginning with Zion Williamson.
The player has been the reason for his side’s resurgence in the league courtesy of his ability to rake his way a hoard of deflections, rebounds, steals along with screening and guarding players. Nicolo Melli will be partnering him up for the day to wrap up proceedings for us for this fixture.
NOP Vs LAL Dream11 Centre
Dwight Howard from the Lakers brings the curtains down on our Dream 11 side for the tie with the player being capable of dropping spin and slams and floating jump points at a flurry.
Star Player
Davis will be our star player with us coming up with both attacking and defensive contributions.
