DAL vs LAC Dream 11: Another huge Texas showdown is in store in the NBA regular season. The Dallas Mavericks host the Los Angeles Clippers, and it features two of the biggest stars in the game.
Luka Doncic has been in sensational form for the Mavericks. The 20-year-old has formed a great partnership with Kristaps Porzingis and the pair have taken the Mavs to 11-5 for the season.
Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers sit at 12-5 and have seen Paul George return after missing several games due to an injury.
George has put up some great performances for the Clippers, and it will be interesting to see how the pairs do against each other.
Doncic scored 41 points and provided 10 assists in the win over the Houston Rockets. The Slovenian was also helped by two other stars from the Mavs.
Porzingis got 23 points and 13 rebounds but the surprise performer was Tim Hardaway Jr, who got 31 for the night.
The Clippers had an easier night than the Mavs with a 134-109 win over the Pelicans. Leonard and George got 26 and 18 points respectively, but it was Montrezl Harrell that was the star.
Harrell came off the bench to score 34 points, and also saw Lou Williams bag 19 for the game.
It is difficult to select the right players for this Dream 11 match-up thanks to the quality on both sides.
However, Doncic has to be part of the team, even if there are some big stars on the Clippers side.
Patrick Beverly scored 10 points in his previous game, and he is a good choice given that he costs only 9.5 Cr.
Williams has done an exceptional job coming off the bench in recent seasons, and he could outscore most of the starters in this clash too.
Hardaway Jr might not be the most consistent player when it comes to scoring big points, however, he could continue his form from the previous game.
Not choosing Leonard or George might be a risky strategy, but Doc Rivers has managed the former Raptors star.
Leonard has missed some games due to load management, and that is why an all-Dallas pair is selected for this position.
Maxi Kleber recoded 11 points in the win over the Rockets while Dorian Finney-Smith also recorded a double-double in the previous game.
Harrell is another LA star doing the business from the bench and could have a huge game for the Clippers.
Ivica Zubac had a quiet game against the Pelicans. However, the Clippers center recorded 10 rebounds and could get some decent points against the Mavs.
Doncic has been sensational this season and there is no reason not to select him as the star player.
This is a tough one to call given that the Clippers haven’t looked like a well-oiled machine this season.
The Mavs could just edge this one thanks to the form of Doncic and playing at home.
