Los Angeles Lakers are set to play an exhibition game against Brooklyn Nets as both the sides look to gain momentum in the pre-season before the start of the all-important NBA regular season 2019-20.
Both the teams already have one practice game / pre-season game under their belt and know a thing or two about their second unit.
Lakers started their pre-season with a high-profile game against Golden State Warriors and beating the Dubs at their new home Chase Center 123-101.
Nets, on the other hand, opened their preparations for the new season with a practice game against SESI/Franca Basketball Club of Brazil.

BKN vs LAL DREAM11 Team News:
Los Angeles Lakers –
Lakers have no fresh injury concerns before this game. Kyle Kuzma is set to spend a few more days on the sidelines following a setback in his recovery. The 24-year-old small forward is now dealing with a left foot “stress reaction” injury and will have another MRI once Lakers return from China.
Quinn Cook could make his Lakers debut in this game if his health permits. The 26-year-old point guard is a very good option from the bench as he can pop up with a flurry of points in a short period of time.
While summer arrival Quinn Cook has been upgraded to questionable ahead of this game following some progress in recovery from a sore left calf.
In addition, new signing Jared Dudley and Kostas Antetokounmpo both have been listed as doubtful for this game and will be assessed.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Avery Bradley, JaVale McGee, DeMarcus Cousins, Quinn Cook, Alex Caruso, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Kuzma, Jared Dudley, Troy Daniels, Talen Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard, Kostas Antetokounmpo, Zach Norvell Jr., Jordan Caroline, Demetrius Jackson, Devontae Cacok

Brooklyn Nets –
Kevin Durant arrived injured from Golden State Warriors and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.
But Nets are more than capable of negotiating the regular season as another All-Star Kyrie Irving and a couple of big players joined the team in the off-season.
Kyrie Irving, Lance Thomas, C.J. Williams, Spencer Dinwiddie, DeAndre Jordan, Joe Harris, Caris LeVert, Henry Ellenson, Garrett Temple, Taurean Prince, Deng Adel, Jarrett Allen, Theo Pinson, Jaylen Hands, John Egbunu, Dzanan Musa, Rodions Kurucs, David Nwaba, Wilson Chandler, Nicolas Claxton
