NBA First Basket Scorer Picks & Predictions: Suns vs. 76ers

Devin Booker (+550)

While the Suns take on the 76ers, giving them a difficult tip-off contention. But Phoenix boasts the fifth-best defense in the country, so even if Philly earns the opening tip-off, there is still a solid chance the Suns’ defense can step up.

Booker at +550 is great value considering his high usage and scoring ability. He's scoring 27 points per game and his 31% usage rate gives me confidence in him being the go-to for the Suns when they need to get their first basket.
