NBA First Basket Scorer Player Prop Bets for Friday: Rockets vs. Kings
I will go with a little longer play for this game. When these teams matched up on Wednesday, Jalen Green had a strong performance, scoring a team-high 26. That confidence is key for a young player like him, and he’s never one to shy away from getting attempts up.
Green has scored 10 of the team’s first field goals in his 41 starts, trailing only Alperen Sengun. The Kings give up 23% of their First Baskets to shooting guards on the season. Given the matchup, his hot night on Wednesday and his ability to get shots off, Jalen Green is a play for me on Friday night.
Pick: Jalen Green (+650)
