Top NBA First Basket Scorer Odds, Picks & Predictions: Lakers vs. Heat
The Lakers have won the tip 59 percent of the time this season. They’ve also earned the first basket in 47 percent of games and have taken the first shot in 53 percent of games.
On the other hand, the Heat have only won the tip 47 percent of the time. Even worse, they have scored just 29 percent of first baskets while taking 41 percent of the first shots.
These two teams will play their first game against one another. It’s likely that the Lakers win the tip and get the opportunity to score first. With LeBron James potentially unavailable, Lonnie Walker would be the play. He’s scored seven first baskets for the Lakers and has five first shots.
Bet: Lonnie Walker (+700)
