Mason predicts this will be the most wagered on NBA game of the season, and we're talking October through Mid-March when the Coronavirus shut everything down.
Action on this Clippers - Lakers game is insane.

By tip-off it will easily be the most bet game of this extremely bizarre season.
This one opened as a PICK'EM and has shot to Clippers -5.
The amount of cash bet on this game is three times that of the early NBA game between the Jazz and Pelicans.
Even though the Jazz +2 v Pelicans starts 2.5 hours earlier, there is about 3 times more cash on the Clippers +5 v Lakers spread and about 5 times more coin on the LA-LA money-line.

TIME: 9 p.m. ET. TV: TNT
ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (44-20): Harrell was hoping to return in time for the opener but a family emergency has continued to keep him away, while Williams is in the midst of a 10-day quarantine after frequenting a gentleman's club in Atlanta while on an excused absence due to a death in the family. Point guard Patrick Beverley returned from a family emergency on Sunday and it is possible he will be able to play against the Lakers. Guard Landry Shamet and center Ivica Zubac also both recently joined the team after being away due to testing positive for COVID-19.
ABOUT THE LAKERS (49-14): The Lakers recently signed J.R. Smith and also have fellow guard Dion Waiters in the fold as they try to revamp their backcourt with shooting guard Avery Bradley (opt-out) and point guard Rajon Rondo (fractured thumb) unavailable. Coach Frank Vogel feels both players can provide a boost in the postseason and he is looking forward to seeing how they fit in. "We know they are talented," Vogel told reporters. "We need to shape their play to the way we want them to fall into their roles. ... When the guys are coachable and they are trying to do what you ask them to do at a high level, they make a case for being in the playoff rotation."
