Today’s Best NBA First Basket Scorer Player Prop Bets: Bulls vs. Hornets
We’re tracking out first-basket bets below, starting this week.
Bulls vs. Hornets
It’s hard to trust the Bulls to score the first basket this season. Chicago has only won the tip 26% of the time but has still scored 47% of first baskets. You’ve got to trust that the defense will get a stop first most of the time.
Against the Hornets, the Bulls already did that once. On Nov. 2, the Hornets won the tip, but Patrick Williams added the first basket for the Bulls. It takes a couple of shots from other players before Zach LaVine or DeMar DeRozan gets going.
Patrick Williams has nine first-shot attempts to lead the team. He’s also nailed six first baskets and already has one against the Hornets this season. I’ll back Williams here.
Bet: Patrick Williams (+700)
