PHI Vs LAL Dream11 Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: Philadelphia accorded with their best opportunity to get the better of the Lakers today.

Had this contest been played last week, this was a foregone conclusion before the game even got underway. And while Los Angeles Lakers are still the overwhelming favourites to emerge as clear cut winners, the spate of injuries they have been struck with at the moment offer the slightest glimmer of a chance to the hosts today.
With several of their star performers questionable for the encounter, Philadelphia 76ers will be well aware that they might not get a better chance than this to snare the scalp of the Lakers. However, the side will know they’ll need to massively address the plights which have persistently pushed them down the league standings if they are to come out of this one unblemished.
The 107-95 defeat to the Raptors showed why they have failed to make a real bid for a spot in the annuls of the Eastern Conference. And with Los Angeles Lakers being so ruthless and relentless in attack despite their injuries, Philadelphia have a real ob on their hands, one in which they’ll need to massively punch above their weight in.
Probable Winner
We envision Los Angeles Lakers to further their winning spree today and rake up their third win in succession come this encounter. They are squaring off against a side which has been vulnerable infront of vicious attacking displays, a rhetoric which should see the visiting unit emerge jubilant from the encounter.

PHI Vs LAL Dream11 Point Guard
His 8.5 apg see us make Ben Simons from Philadelphia 76ers a must have selection for this encounter. The point guard has been able to flay defences with his titillating brand of basketball, one which has seen him control the centre of the court for his side with his quick ball rotations.
PHI Vs LAL Dream11 Shooting Guard
Although Furkan Korkmaz will only be playing today’s clash as a substitute for the home unit, the player still sees himself being brought in by us. At a mere 8 credits and assured scrimmages on the court along with his ability to send down treys with ease, the player becomes a viable option for the encounter.
PHI Vs LAL Dream11 Small Forward
The 10.8 apg for him see us make LeBron James our first pick in this facet of our Dream 11 component. The small forward has regularly not only laid up the ball for his counterparts but pulled off points in the paint and quick break points to go with them to make him a must have pick for this one.
With Davis unsure of a spot in the side’s playing 5 today given his injury peril, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will once again benefit. He’ll be asked to fill in the void left by Davis, something his alley-oops, reverse scoops and spin and slams make him more than adept at going.
Elsewhere, from Philadelphia 76ers we’ll be indulging in the services of Matisse Thybulle for the upcoming encounter.
PHI Vs LAL Dream11 Power Forward
Mike Scott becomes our pick from Philadelphia over here. The player is a dual natured performer, someone who can not only come up with free throws and second chance points but is more than capable of ringing his way a hoard of deflections, rebounds and steals.
PHI Vs LAL Dream11 Centre
While we wanted to indulge in the services of McGee from Los Angeles Lakers for this one, he’s stricken with injury at the moment and with no confirmed news about his availability, we’ll be leaving him out. Instead, Dwight Howard comes in from the side while from the home unit we are moving in for Al Horford.
At a time when their talisman has been out, Horford has acted as the safeguard of the side’s paint, someone who has been their mainstay in defence to make him a regulation choice.
Star Player
Simmons is our star player for today.
