SAS vs LAC Dream11
SAS vs LAC Dream11: Los Angeles Clippers will be looking to make it 8 wins on the trot when they hit the road for a matchup against the fellow Western Conference rivals San Antonio Spurs at AT&T Center, in San Antonio, on Saturday morning (IST).
Spurs have made the worst possible start to any season under their legendary head coach Gregg Popovich as they hover around the foot of the table with a meagre 6-13 return on the season. They dropped the last two games at home, against the Los Angeles Lakers (104-114) and Minnesota Timberwolves (101-113), and now face a mommoth task of stopping the rut against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers are definitely on a roll these days and extended their winning run to seven games following a tough 119-121 win over Memphis Grizzlies on the road. With the win, the Clippers improve its regular-season record to 14-5 and sit 3rd on the table.

Four players can be considered as captain: Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMar DeRozan and Paul George, while the likes of Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell can be considered as well if you are prepared to go for full risk.
The first option should be Leonard. The guy does everything on the court; points, blocks, steals, and rebounds.
Paul George has the habit of scoring some insane numbers. He is due for the season. Though there’s no guarantee for that, it’s Grand League, and he is worth the risk.
Talking about the risks, both Aldridge and DeRozan are more than capable of dropping alien looking numbers in this game.
