NBA First Basket Betting Picks & Predictions: Nuggets at Celtics
This is perhaps the most exciting game on the schedule for Friday. Both of these teams have been rolling since the start of the season, led by prolific offenses.
I’m going to focus on the home team, Boston, for the First Basket prop. They’ve been the best team offensively in the early season, led by Jayson Tatum. He has been putting himself in the MVP discussion early. He’s also putting himself in the must-bet discussion for First Basket.
In the early season, the Celtics scored the first field goal in well over half of their games, and Tatum scored in most of these situations. I like Boston to feed the hot hand here and will take Tatum for a First Basket bet.
Pick: Jayson Tatum +500
