NBA First Basket Scorer Betting Picks & Predictions for Friday: Bulls vs. Wizards
Chicago Bulls at Washington Wizards
The Wizards have had a lot of roster turnover in the last 10 months. It can be tough to tell who will be the go-to guy early in games.
After Porzingis made his Wizards debut it, he was the guy, taking the first team field goal in nearly half of his starts. With a healthy Bradley Beal, this may not be as much of an obvious pick.
However, in Wednesday’s win, Porzingis took the first shot for the Wizards, getting fouled on the attempt. I will keep riding the trend against a Bulls team that will key in on stopping Beal early, giving Porzingis room to make plays.
Pick: Kristaps Porzingis
