First Basket Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Trail Blazers vs. Spurs

The Trailblazers have been one of the biggest surprises this year. The emergence of Anfernee Simons and the acquisition of Jerami Grant have moved the Trailblazers to the next level. Meanwhile, the Spurs have been mediocre early this season. 

Damian Lillard is still the star of the show for the Trailblazers. He only looks better this season with two great players around him. The Trailblazers continue to look to Lillard as the No. 1 scoring option. That will continue tonight. Look to Lillard to get the first basket. 

First Basket: Damian Lillard (+430)
