Mavericks vs. Warriors: First Basket Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)
The Dallas Mavericks have been the better of these teams at winning the opening possession. The Warriors do not have the height and are inconsistent during the tipoff. That will allow the Mavericks to get the first opportunity to shoot the basketball.
The Mavericks rely heavily on Luka Doncic to score. He is the best scorer on the team and one of the best in the NBA. Doncic also gets the first look before anyone else on the team. Combine those things, and Luka has the most opportunity to score first.
