The Playoffs continue strong on Saturday. With that comes great opportunities for First Basket scorers. Here are my favorite plays for First Basket on the exciting Saturday slate for Rockets vs. Warriors.
Saturday’s Best NBA Playoff First Basket Scorer Picks: Rockets vs. Warriors
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Rockets vs. Warriors
With each team looking impressive in a win in this series. The Warriors and Rockets series has been one of the most entertaining of the Playoffs so far. We can expect a great game again Saturday night.
I'll be looking at Houston for the first score, although Sengun has struggled with winning the tip. Their defense has been spectacular enough that they still score first in almost 60% of their games.
No one on the Rockets scored first more than Sengun. No one in the NBA scored first more than Sengun. Considering Golden State gave up almost half of their first points to opposing bigs, backing Sengun seems like a no-brainer.
Pick: Alperen Sengun (+500)
