10* CLIPPERS/LAKERS BLOCKBUSTER (+$20,000 RUN!)
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: 5.50 | -105.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the LA Lakers.

The Lakers lost 123-109 in Golden State to open the season, but I think they'll give Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers a run for their money at "home."

The Clippers have Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, along with Norman Powell and Macus Morris, but the Lakers' stars looked good in defeat, with Lebro James finishing with 31 points, 14 boards and eight assists, and AD finishing with 27.

AD is a difficult matchup issue for the Clippers. I think an outright win is possible here.

The Lakers were a great "fade" last season, but I'll caution in blindly doing that this year.

While the outright win isn't out of the question, let's grab the points. The play is the LAKERS.

Good luck, NP
