First Basket Prop Bets Picks & Predictions for Tuesday: Warriors vs. Suns
Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns
Golden State was one of the worst teams last year regarding first-basket scoring. They scored the first basket roughly 40% of the time, and this year hasn’t been any better. The Warriors have scored first once this season. They don’t have the height to win the tipoff, and the Suns have an Atheltic 6’11†center in DeAndre Ayton.
The Suns like to spread the ball around early in the game, but Mikal Bridges has been one of the most active players scoring early for the Suns. He has shot the first two baskets 33% of the time. He is also one of the stronger rebounders in this game, which will give him an opportunity for second-chance buckets. That makes Mikal a high-value play for the first basket in this game.
