Today’s Best NBA First Basket Scorer Player Prop Bets: Nuggets vs. Bucks

All wagers are one unit

Nuggets vs. Bucks

We’ll look at the Nuggets vs. Bucks matchup for our last play. Milwaukee has won the tip 68% of the time, while the Nuggets have won just 44% of the time.

Milwaukee has also attempted the first shot in 68% of games, proving that the Bucks won’t turn the ball over if they win possession first. That would mean they’ll at least attempt a shot if they win the tip.

The Bucks have been pretty spread out in this market. But going with Giannis Antetokounmpo would be the best bet. He’s attempted five first shots and has nailed seven first baskets.

Bet: Giannis Antetokounmpo (+310)
