Pistons vs. Knicks: First Basket Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)
The New York Knicks have been one of the worst teams getting the opening possession. The last time the Knicks won an opening tipoff was November 13th against the Thunder. That gives the Pistons the upper hand in getting the ball first tonight.
Marvin Bagley is one of the most used players in the first quarter. He typically gets the first or second shot for Detroit. Defensively the Knicks have struggled early on. The combination of open possession, early usage, and the Knick’s defense gives Bagley plenty of betting value.
