Top NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Celtics vs. Suns

The Boston Celtics might be visiting the Suns on the road, but I still like them to score first.

The Celtics have won the tip 60% of their last ten games time while scoring the first field goal in 50% of them. They’ve also hit their first field goal needing just 1.7 shots per game.

Meanwhile, the Suns have won the tip 60% of the time over the last ten games. However, the Suns have only hit the first field goal in 30% of the games, needing 2.2 shots per game to record their first field goal.

Lately, it’s been a combination of Celtics players scoring the first basket. But Jayson Tatum has hit two of the team’s first field goals in nine starts over the last ten games. He’s also taking .78 shots of the first three shots that the Celtics have taken in those nine games.

Back Tatum to score the first field goal tonight.

Bet: Jayson Tatum (+500)
