First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Cavaliers vs. Lakers

Los Angeles has vastly improved over the last few weeks and they are winning games consistently. Honestly, this is the team bettors expected to see when the season started. Anthony Davis has been the most significant contributor to the recent success. 

Two weeks ago, the media talked about the Lakers not using Anthony Davis enough. Over the last ten games, Davis is averaging 35.3 points, 15.6 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per game. He is shooting 45.5% from the three-point line too. The increased usage and All-Star level play gives Davis great betting value to score the first basket of the night.
