LAL vs PHX Dream11 Team Prediction:

COVID-19 is taking on the NBA head-on, yet the league has managed to stay afloat. The Los Angeles Lakers, one of the teams that will compete here, have had to contend with both injuries and COVID-19, with at least half of their key rotation players missing. They’ll face a resurgent Phoenix Suns team that has made winning a habit and has the best record in the league, with 24 wins and only five losses.

For the next month, the Lakers will be without Anthony Davis, who will cost the team in terms of scoring, rebounding, and defence. Still, with LeBron and Westbrook in the mix, the offensive flow may continue, as Isaiah, Carmelo, Ariza, Ellington, Rondo, and Deandre Jordan will be forced to react quickly.

The Suns have developed a strong core and are one of the league’s deepest teams at practically every position. Phoenix can play a variety of basketball styles, and with Chris Paul as their primary ball handler, the club is capable of causing havoc. Phoenix can also play great defence and is a strong contender for the championship.

NBA forecasts, statistics, and analysis

Lakers: That defence needs to be fixed!

The Lakers’ defence is one of the worst in the NBA, with many players missing assignments at times, but their rebounding has been one of the more baffling concerns for me.

The squad is frequently outhustled, and even when the defence is disciplined, the advantage is quickly lost when the opponent dominates the offensive boards. With James and Westbrook on the court, the Lakers can score points, but their defence, especially against elite offensive teams, has let them down and held them back, whether they were healthy or injured.

If the defence continues to play like this, the Lakers will find themselves with their backs against the wall.

Suns: Their depth is terrifying

Phoenix has a lot of depth, like a lot of depth! Even without their leading scorer, Booker, they won the majority of their games, and the Suns’ scoring balance can make most teams in the league envy on many nights.

With Paul as the primary ball handler, Booker as the iso and off-the-ball scorer, two solid two-way wings in Crowder and Bridges, and a solid 15+ and 10+ rebounds Center Deandre Ayton, the bench features two talented guards in Shamet and Payne, as well as a wing in Cameron Johnson and a points and rebounds machine in JaVale McGee.

This team’s depth cannot be overstated; they have nine guys capable of scoring ten points or more on the same night!
