First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Lakers vs. Celtics

Los Angeles has vastly improved over the last few weeks. They are winning games and look like a playoff team. Tonight might be a tough matchup against the best team in the NBA, but compared to a few weeks ago, they stand a chance. 

Over the last 10 games, Anthony Davis is averaging 30.3 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. The Lakers star is starting to take the torch from LeBron James and has increased usage. That increased volume gives Davis a high betting value on scoring the first basket.
