In line for Opening Night start Jordan is expected to start Tuesday's opener against the Warriors, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports. Impact While the Lakers have made it explicitly clear that Anthony Davis will play considerably more center this season, they'll already pivot away from that mandate on Opening Night.
