First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Celtics vs. Rockets

Houston is one of the worst teams in the NBA. They struggle in all aspects of the game, and that is due to their youth. The Celtics are among the best teams in the NBA and a favorite to win the title this year. One of the biggest reasons for that is Jayson Tatum. 

Tatum is my favorite player to watch this year. He is a dynamic scorer, doing it on all levels. Every team has struggled to stop him because he continues to go at his defender all game. Tatum will be able to use this to his advantage early on against the young Rockets team to get the first basket.
