First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bucks vs. Warriors

Golden State Warriors are starting to turn their season around, but they still struggle with getting the first possession. The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the taller NBA teams and have had success getting the first possession. 

Getting the first possession is part of winning the first scorer in the NBA. The second piece is a player with scoring and usage that is consistent. That player is Giannis Antetokounmpo. He can score in multiple ways, and Milwaukee plays through him. That makes him the most likely to get the first basket. 

First Basket: Giannis Antetokounmpo (+480)
