NBA First Basket Scorer Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Thunder vs. Celtics

The Oklahoma City Thunder have improved this season compared to last year. They have a young core that looks like they could be a tough team to beat in the coming years. However, tonight they face the best team in the NBA. The Thunder have improved, but the Celtics still have the advantage tonight.

The Thunder’s young core is no match for the proven talent of the Celtics: Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown. They can both score anytime they want and Tatum might be the best player in the NBA this year. Tatum shoots at one of the highest volumes in the NBA and that will make him the best player to score the first basket tonight.
