Saturday’s Best NBA Playoff First Basket Scorer Picks: Cavaliers vs. Heat

Cavaliers vs. Heat
The Cavaliers dominated the Heat in both Games 1 and 2 in Cleveland. They'll look to get off to a good start straight from the jump. Thankfully for them, Jarrett Allen has had his way with Kel'el Ware on the opening tips.
Allen has been fantastic all year, winning 77% of his tips. So far in this series, Cleveland has gone to Max Strus and Jarrett Allen in their first possessions. Both of those were rare occurrences during the regular season, so I'll be looking at someone else for Game 3.
No one on the Cavaliers scored more First Baskets than Evan Mobley this year. The DPOY has gotten off to a bit of a slow start, but I like him to heat up right from the start Saturday and capture the First Basket.
Pick: Evan Mobley (+550)
