NBA First Basket Scorer Prop Picks & Predictions: Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies (Wednesday)
We’ve got an excellent slate in the NBA tonight.
But if you don’t have the patience to watch a complete game, I’ve got the bets for you. I’m looking at three players to score the first basket in their respective games.
Here are three potential options for tonight’s NBA First Basket market. And below is a closer look at Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies.

Top NBA First Basket Odds, Picks & Predictions: Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies
Shaedon Sharpe
I’ve got to give at least one long shot. The Portland Trail Blazers have won the tip 66.7% of the time this year. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have won the tip just 28.6% of the time. Damian Lillard is already out with a calf injury. Meanwhile, Josh Hart has a concussion and could miss time.
Shaedon Sharpe already has a first basket made this season and should have a real opportunity to be the first scorer again. Lilliard and Hart have combined for five of the team’s first baskets, while Sharpe has the other. Why can’t Sharpe be that scorer again if those two are out?
Bet: Shaedon Sharpe (+1400)
