NBA First Basket Scorer Picks & Predictions: Trail Blazers vs. Heat

Jimmy Butler (+700)

Despite being the longest odds among the three options, I like Butler’s value. Bam Adebayo is a solid tip-off winner, and Miami has a lot of options for scoring.

While Tyler Herro is another choice I like, Butler is a better option, in my opinion. He's overperforming, averaging 21.7 points per game, and I'll be riding the hot hand until he cools off.
