First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Nuggets vs. Mavericks
These teams have played twice and split the first possession. That means the first basket in this game will come down to the most talented and consistent scorer between both teams. That player is Luka Doncic.
Luka Doncic may be the most talented scorer in the NBA. He averages 33.4 points per game, and his usage is higher than anyone else in this matchup. That gives Doncic the best chance to score first in this unpredictable matchup. The Nuggets are the top defensive team which means lower the number of units you bet on this matchup, but there is upside to Doncic tonight.
First Basket: Luka Doncic (+550)
