They faced the wrath of Paul George as the former Thunder scored 37 points to lead the Clippers to victory.

Trae Young scored 20 points for the Hawks, but there wasn’t much to cheer from that huge loss.

Dream 11 Fantasy tips and predictions

James and Davis should be good enough to defeat the Hawks and there is more good news for the Lakers.

Kuzma seems to be doing well off the bench and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 16 against the Kings too.

The Hawks need to near perfect against the Lakers, and it will be interesting to see how they react to the loss against the Clippers.

Point guards

Caruso seems to be doing a good job off the bench and the LA star scored some important points in his previous outing.

The bulk of the scoring will be done from the other positions, but Caruso is a decent option for the team.

Shooting guards

Most of the Hawks players aren’t that expensive and that allows for more big names from the Lakers.

Danny Green hasn’t always scored big since his move from Toronto, but the shooting guard is another decent option to have on the side.
