NBA First Basket Prop Bet Picks & Predictions for Saturday: Clippers vs. Kings
Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings
The Clippers are the focus here for me due to the matchup on the tip. Kings’ Domantas Sabonis was one of the worst jump ball winners in the league in 2021-22, by percentage. Though Zubac wasn’t phenomenal himself, he should have the advantage here.
So looking at the lineup for the Clippers the options are interesting. After a season opening win, stars Kawhi Leonard and John Wall will take a rest day in this matchup with the Kings. With these two out, Paul George will be the offensive focus. Because of this, George is a solid choice for First Basket.
Pick: Paul George
