NBA First Basket Prop Bet Picks & Predictions for Saturday: Rockets vs. Bucks
Houston Rockets at Milwaukee Bucks
Coming into the season, the Bucks are without Khris Middleton. This is an angle that is of interest to bettors of all different kinds of NBA markets, but it’s especially important for First Basket props.
Middleton was a go to scorer early for Milwaukee last year and his absence leaves opportunities for others. For this particular game, I’m going to target Grayson Allen who is taking Middleton’s spot in the starting lineup while he recovers from a wrist injury. Milwaukee is going to try to keep the offense running the same as if Middleton was in the lineup. Allen is capable of getting buckets himself so I really like the value here.
Pick: Grayson Allen
