Tuesday’s Best NBA First Basket Bets: Kings vs. Celtics
Let us look into the matchups tonight to find the best first-basket bets. Do not blink, or you might miss it.
Kings vs. Celtics
The Sacramento Kings struggle to win the first possession. They have won the first possession in one of the last five games. That gives the Celtics an advantage at scoring the first basket tonight.
Jayson Tatum is always a threat to score. He is a high-volume shooter in the NBA and scores in multiple ways. Tatum is the number one option for the Celtics. That means he is the most likely player to score tonight against the Kings.
