Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) will play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Batum will return to the court after the Clippers' veteran missed one contest with right Achilles soreness. In a great matchup against a Pelicans' unit ranked last in defensive rating, our models project Batum to score 23.1 FanDuel points at the salary of $5,400.
