Top NBA First Basket Scorer Odds, Picks & Predictions: Magic vs. Pistons
The Magic have won the tip 60 percent of the time this year. They’ve also added 51 percent of first baskets while taking the first shot 54 percent of the time.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have only scored the first basket in 36 percent of games. Detroit rarely wins the tip (42%) and has taken the first shot just 42 percent of the time. When these two teams met earlier this season, Paolo Banchero added the first basket after the Magic earned the tip.
Banchero had a rough go yesterday against the Lakers, getting in foul trouble quickly. Look for him to bounce back quickly against the Pistons. He’s added five first baskets on six first shots for the Magic this year.
Bet: Paolo Banchero (+600)
