Kings vs. Pistons: NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Friday)
For the whole season, both of these teams have been pretty poor at scoring first baskets. More recently though the Kings have had success. They’ve had one of the better offenses in the league and against a poor defense like Detroit’s they are the right team to target. I’m going to make two plays in this game.
De’Aaron Fox is my first play. He’s been the Kings’ leading scorer on the season and in turn has scored the most first field goals on the year for the team. I like him to attack a very young starting backcourt for the Pistons and try to get into rhythm early.
Domantis Sabonis is my other play. The Pistons have made a move recently to insert rookie Jalen Duren into the starting lineup. I like Sabonis to take advantage of the young kid and try to impose his will early. If, however, the Pistons go back to Marvin Bagley I like this matchup even more. Bagley could be likely to press against his old team that he held a little animosity towards. Either way, Sabonis is going to be great value.
Picks: De’Aaron Fox (+700) | Domantas Sabonis (+550)
