Top NBA First Basket Odds, Picks & Predictions: Knicks vs. Hornets

Evan Fournier

Evan Fournier is pretty much the fifth option on the Knicks. But he never has a problem taking three-point shots. I love looking at discrepancies between multiple sportsbooks to know I’m getting the best value on a player.

Evan Fournier is listed at +1000 on FanDuel, while DraftKings is at +750. Caesars is also sitting at +850. So there’s clear value on Fournier to earn the first basket.

He’s already done it this season with a three-point ball to start things off earlier in the year. With his average odds at about +850, we’re getting solid value at +1000 if you’re looking to take a long shot.

Bet: Evan Fournier (+1000 at FanDuel
