NBA First Basket Betting Prop Bet Picks & Predictions: Magic at Bulls
The Magic travel to Chicago on Friday in a matchup with the Bulls. Orlando isn’t going to win many games this year, but they’ve been effective on First Basket props.
Early on in the season, Orlando was finding Paolo Banchero, but with him out others have stepped up. This is creating more opportunities for his teammates and when it comes to First Basket, no one is benefitting like Wendell Carter.
Carter has scored the first team field goal in five of the last ten Magic games, and five of the last nine that he started. The Magic have been excellent winning the tipoff and have scored their first field goal in 1.8 attempts on average in the last ten games, one of the best marks in the league.
Against a poor First Basket team like Chicago, Wendell Carter is a strong play.
Pick: Wendell Carter
