Today’s Best NBA First Basket Prop Bets: Bucks vs. Raptors

The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the sideline. The main reason for the struggles is the lack of scoring available for the Bucks. That means unless he plays tonight, the Raptors have the advantage of being the first team to score in this matchup.

The most consistent scorer for the Raptors is Pascal Siakam. He averages 25.7 points per game and has had several high-scoring games recently. Giannis being hurt leaves the Bucks without a Power Forward to guard Siakam, and that means he will get more scoring opportunities early on.

First Basket: Pascal Siakam (+500)
