DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Opening Night Tuesday 10/22/19

It’s a two-game slate for FanDuel and DraftKings with some big matchups to start the season. The bummer is that Zion Williamson won’t make his debut for the Pelicans after it was reported he would miss 6-8 weeks with a meniscus tear. But the Pelicans still have plenty of firepower with Jrue Holiday, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball.

They’ll take on a Toronto Raptors team that lost Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green in the offseason but is actually still a rather projectable unit. Pascal Siakam is looking close to a cash game lock on this slate and other Raptors like Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet and even O.G. Anunoby could make for safe and reliable options at their current price points.

The second game between the Lakers and the Clippers should make for a great one as well. The Lakers bring in Anthony Davis in the offseason to compliment Lebron James and with the additions of Avery Bradley and Danny Green, this is a new-look purple and gold squad. Davis could be something of a chalk play on both sites with Javale Magee an interesting option at center.

On the Clippers’ side, the guys discuss Kawhi Leonard making the move to LA, Montrezl Harrell possibly playing even more this season and some other pieces that could make for DFS plays.
