First Basket Prop Bets Odds, Picks & Predictions: Pistons vs. Jazz

Both of these teams have been inconsistent regarding the first possession. The Pistons don’t have the height, and the Jazz doesn’t have the athleticness. That makes the first possession a non-factor tonight because neither team does it consistently. 

The most consistent player on either of these teams is Lauri Markkanen. He can score in numerous ways, and the Pistons do not have the height to stop him. That makes Lauri Markkanen the most likely to get the first basket in tonight’s matchup. 

First Basket: Lauri Markkanen (+500)
