Tuesday’s Best NBA First Basket Bets: Nets vs. Bucks

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel)

Nets vs. Bucks

The first part of first-basket betting is deciding which team will get the ball first. The most consistent player at winning the tipoff is Brook Lopez. He has won four of the last five tipoffs. That means the Bucks are the most likely to score the first points. 

The next part of the bet is finding a player who scores consistently. Giannis is day-to-day with a knee injury which means he is a riskier bet. The player with the most betting value is Jrue Holiday. He is their number-one scoring option when Giannis is sitting out. 

First Basket: Jrue Holiday (+550 FanDuel)
