Here are three potential options for tonight’s NBA First Basket market. And below is a closer look at Bucks vs. Pistons.

Top NBA First Basket Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bucks vs. Pistons
Jrue Holiday
The Bucks aren’t the most efficient offense to start games. They’ve needed 2.7 shots to score their first field goal per game.
However, the Bucks have won the tip 83.3% of the time and have scored the first field goal in 66.7% of games to begin the year. Jrue Holiday has three first field goals for the Bucks through six games. He’s also scored Milwaukee’s first field goal in four of six games.
The Bucks are going up against the Detroit Pistons, who have only scored first in 12.5% of their games. Therefore, while the odds aren’t incredible, I still like Holiday to score first in tonight’s game. He’s at least got better odds than Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Bet: Jrue Holiday (+350)
