Eric Bledsoe starting for Clippers in season-opener Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe will start Thursday in the team's game against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

In his first game with the Clippers since the 2012-13 season, Bledsoe is in the starting lineup. And with Kawhi Leonard coming off a torn ACL, it could be Bledsoe's backcourt for a while. Joining him in the starting five are Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Marcus Morris and Ivica Zubac.

Our models project Bledsoe for 13.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 24.0 FanDuel points across 28.5 minutes of action.
