These were our initial expectations for Clippers vs Lakers.

00:00 The NBA is back, and that means so are Best Bet and Daily Fantasy.

00:05 For more on that, I'm joined by the fantasy exec, Corey Parson,

00:08 and Farbot Esnishari of all Clippers.

00:11 Corey, let's start with you.

00:13 That opening game, Pelicans minus two against the Jazz.

00:17 Who you got?

00:18 This is a pretty simple one right here.

00:20 I'm glad they gave me a softball to start it off with, Robin.

00:23 The Utah Jazz are 12 games better than the Pelicans in the standings,

00:28 but the Pelicans are a two-point favorite.

00:30 That's because the public wants to watch and bet on Zion Williamson.

00:34 When this game opened up, the Utah Jazz were a one-and-a-half-point favorite.

00:38 This line is hit high as Pelicans minus three.

00:41 It's currently sitting at Pelicans minus two.

00:43 This is an easy Utah Jazz play for me, and I will try to hammer the money line.

00:48 There you go. Put your money on the Jazz.

00:50 Now, Farbot, when it comes to the Lakers-Clippers game,

00:52 obviously the Clips without a lot of players, and that makes the Lakers

00:55 a minus four favorite. How do you like the Clippers' chances?

00:59 I honestly don't like the Clippers' chances too much this game.

01:03 I mean, they're missing 37 points off the bench with Trez and Lou,

01:07 and there's a good chance they're going to miss Pat Beverly as well.

01:10 So they're missing three guys that they close games with.

01:13 Now, granted, that's what you get Landry Shamit, Jermichael Green,

01:15 and Reggie Jackson for, so there's a chance, but I'm not liking it today.

01:20 Not liking the Clippers' chance, but you could always play Daily Fantasy, right?

01:24 So, Jermichael Green, any picks there?

01:27 Yeah, I got to start with my favorite player on the night is Donovan Mitchell

01:30 for the Utah Jazz, obviously. In games against the Pelicans this season,

01:34 he has a 46-point night and a 37-point night.

01:37 The Pelicans don't play no defense, so I like a lot of Donovan Mitchell tonight.

01:41 And as far as the rest of the games go, I think a player that I really like tonight

01:46 is going to be Anthony Davis if he does play with that eye injury.

01:49 Looking like a game-time decision, but the reports are he's going to be out there.

01:52 They really don't have nobody that can guard AD.

01:54 So, Donovan Mitchell and Anthony Davis would be my two top DFS plays for tonight.

01:58 Anthony Davis, a key, I think, to this season restart.

02:01 And as the NBA resumes play, Corey's saying that you should play some jazz.

02:06 Guys, appreciate your time.
