Today’s Best First Basket Scorer Picks
Let us look into the matchup tonight to find the best first-basket bet
Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics
The first part of first-basket betting is picking a team to win the first possession. Tonight that team is the Boston Celtics. The Celtics have won the first possession in all three playoff games. That consistency means Boston has the best chance to win the first possession again tonight.
Jayson Tatum is one of the most talented scorers in the NBA. That means the Celtics will want to get him involved in the offense early on. Tatum is one of the highest-volume shooters in the NBA too, and that only increases his betting value to score the first basket. Bettors can take advantage of the consistency of Boston winning the first possession and Tatum's scoring ability.
