LeBron James starting on Tuesday for Los Angeles
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is starting on Tuesday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard starting for Clippers on Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is in the starting rotation on Tuesday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
As if there were any doubt, Leonard will start at small forward in the season opener with his new team. After winning a championship in Toronto last year, he signed with the Clippers and brought along Paul George, who happens to still be injured. Against the Lakers on opening night, Leonard will be joined in the starting lineup by Patrick Beverley, Landry Shamet, Patrick Patterson and Ivica Zubac.
Our models project Leonard for 30.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 49.1 FanDuel points in 36.5 minutes of action.

Rajon Rondo (calf) out on Tuesday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo will not play on Tuesday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
After being considered a game-time decision early in the day, Rondo's outlook downgraded to "unlikely to play" later in the evening. Now, he's been confirmed out, and he'll miss the 2019-20 season opener with his new team.
Our models project Rondo for 5.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 15.8 minutes per game going forward this season.

Patrick Patterson starting on Tuesday for Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Patrick Patterson is in the starting lineup on Tuesday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
With Paul George out, head coach Doc Rivers may have to get creative with his lineups. That seems to be the case here, as Patterson is reportedly starting to match up against superstar big Anthony Davis. It's not yet known who will fill the rest of the starting five.
Before this news, our models projected Patterson for 0.7 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 1.8 FanDuel points in 2.4 minutes of action. Obviously, those numbers will change.

Rajon Rondo (calf) unlikely to play for Lakers on Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo is considered unlikely to play on Tuesday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Rondo was considered a game-time call earlier in the day due to a sore right calf, and it seems as though the Lakers will take caution with rushing him back or having him play through an ailment. In Rondo's absence, it seems that LeBron James could play point guard in the team's season opener.
Our models project Rondo for 5.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 15.8 minutes per game going forward this season.

Lonzo Ball starting for New Orleans in season opener on Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball is starting on Tuesday night in the team's season opener against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Ball is making his Pelicans debut after being traded away from Los Angeles in the offseason. Last year, he averaged 9.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in his second year in the league. He'll be joined on Tuesday night in the starting lineup by Jrue Holiday, J.J. Redick, Brandon Ingram and Derrick Favors.
Our models project Ball for 10.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 28.0 FanDuel points across 30.6 minutes of action.
