First Basket Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Pelicans vs. Grizzlies

The Pelicans have gained the first possession during three of their last four games. They have been one of the better teams early in the season on tipoffs. Partially due to the athleticism of Jonas Valanciunas’s size. That will be important for the first-basket bet tonight. 

Zion Williamson is the best scorer for the Pelicans. He has looked like an All-Star this season. That means he will draw the defensive attention and leave other players open. One of those players is Brandon Ingram, who has turned into a top-scoring option for this team. Look to Ingram tonight for a good value bet. 

First Basket: Brandon Ingram (+550)
