First Basket Prop Bets Odds, Picks & Predictions: Nuggets vs. Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have the advantage with the first possession tonight. Nikola Jokic does a lot well, but winning the tip-off is not one of them. Steven Adams has the highest chance of winning the first possession. 

Ja Morant is the most explosive player in the NBA right now. The Grizzlies play through him, and he can score in different ways. The Grizzlies have multiple players who can score consistently enough that I would lower the number of units, but Morant still has value to score first. 

First Basket: Ja Morant (+550)
