Suns vs. Nuggets: NBA First Basket Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Sunday (Christmas Day)

Nikola Jokic (+460)

The Suns were the No. 1 seed in the west a few weeks ago, but they lost five straight and began to dip. Even without Devin Booker, they’re getting back on track, winning three of their last five.

The Nuggets took advantage of that and are now tied with the Grizzles for the best record in the west. Jokic is making a case to be the first three-peat MVP since Larry Bird and nearly had his third straight triple-double the other night.

The Nuggets have a clear advantage in first baskets, and tip wins. Jokic comes in today with two of the team’s last five first baskets.
