Today’s Best First Basket Scorer Player Prop Bets: Nets vs. Suns

The Brooklyn Nets traded away Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant is out indefinitely. That means they are one of the most unpredictable teams right now. They do not have an actual number one scoring option that impacts them on first-basket betting.

The Suns have the most betting value in this matchup. DeAndre Ayton is a consistent scorer that the Nets need help to match up. He averages 18.0 points per game, and that consistency gives him the most betting value.

DeAndre Ayton (+470 @FanDuel)
