Friday’s Best NBA First Basket Player Prop Bets: Warriors vs. Kings
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Warriors vs. Kings
Round two of the ESPN double-header pits divisional foes in the Warriors and Kings. It's a matchup that the Warriors have dominated over the years. On Friday, I expect them to bring that same domination to the First Basket prop, specifically Klay Thompson.
Thompson has long been a strong scorer for the Warriors and has been one of the best First Basket scorers for years. Last year, Sacramento gave up 22% of their opposing first baskets to shooting guards like Thompson. With their struggles winning opening tips last year, it's a strong bet to focus on the Warriors, and Thompson may have the best matchup of the bunch.
Pick: Klay Thompson (+600)
