Top NBA First Basket Betting Picks & Predictions: Thunder vs. Bucks
The Bucks have gotten off to the hottest start in the league. Part of the reason they've been so successful is that they've attacked teams from the jump, literally.
Milwaukee is winning the tip at one of the best rates in the league and has also cashed the First Basket prop at one of the highest rates in the league. They've had two players dominating this prop, Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Both have cashed the prop multiple times in the first eight games of the year.
I'm going to target both here because there's an excellent chance one of these two scores the first basket again. So long as Khris Middleton is out of the lineup, both Jrue and Giannis will be names to target for First Basket.
Pick: Jrue Holiday, Giannis Antetokounmpo
