Clippers at Lakers (TNT)
The first game of the year has the LA Clippers traveling all the way down the hall to the visitors locker room in Staples Center. There will be a lot of hype surrounding this game as the team faces Lonzo Ball in his first true NBA game. However, while the addition of Ball is nice and the team has added Brook Lopez, don’t expect them to be ready for the contention. The Clips should end up with a solid start to the year with a victory on opening night.
