Top NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jazz vs. Wizards
The Wizards face off Saturday against a Jazz team that has been white hot to start the season. If we were picking against the spread I might be enticed to take the Jazz, but for a First Basket prop, the Wizards are a better target.
The Wizards have been scoring the first basket as often as they’ve been winning the tip-off (50% over their last ten) and scoring their first field goal within their first two shots on average. No one on the Wizard roster has been scoring those first field goals more than Kristaps Porzingis.
With Bradley Beal likely still out for Washington, Porzingis is the smart play.
Pick: Kristaps Porzingis +340
