There are plenty of NBA games tonight. The quickest way to get into the action is first-basket betting. Betting the first basket is one of the most simple bets in sports betting. Pick the player to score the first basket of the basketball game to win.

Let us look into the matchups tonight to find the best first-basket bets. And here’s a closer look at Mavericks vs. Knicks.

First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Mavericks vs. Knicks

One of the most critical aspects of first-basket betting is getting first possession of the game. Mitchell Robinson for the New York Knicks has been among the best players at getting his team the first opportunity to score. He is tall, athletic and has a long wing span. That gives him an advantage of winning the tip-off. 

The Knicks look to RJ Barrett early on to shoot. They only have a few consistent scorers on the team, and Barrett is one of them. The Knicks try to get him started early on, which gives him plenty of betting value for the first basket. I would lower the number of units bet on this one, but know there is value.
