Todayâs Best NBA First Basket Scorer Player Prop Bets: 76ers vs. Blazers
Here are a few first-basket bets to consider for tonightâs NBA slate.
The Portland Trail Blazers have won the tip 61% of the time and have taken the first shot in 66% of games this season. However, Portland has only made the first basket 48% of the time.
Theyâre not getting the best of looks when taking the first shot. The 76ers are. Philadelphia has scored the first basket in 64% of games despite only winning the tip in 43% of games.
These two teams havenât played each other yet. But even if the Blazers win the tip, I still like the 76ers to score the first basket.
Joel Embiid has seven first shots but 12 first baskets. The 76ers have 28 first baskets this season, and Embiid has 12. Go with Embiid in this game.
Bet: Joel Embiid (+330)
