Trail Blazers vs. Lakers: NBA First Basket Prop Bet Picks & Predictions
The Lakers will play a home game against the Blazers. They’ve won the tip and scored first in five of their last ten games. Meanwhile, the Blazers have only won the tip in three of their last ten games with just four first baskets in the last ten games.
The Lakers have needed 2.1 shots to score their first basket, while the Blazers have taken 3.4 shots per game over the last ten games to score their first basket.
The Lakers have the advantage.
LeBron James has started in four of the Lakers’ last ten games. In those four games, he’s scored the team’s first field goal in three games and has the game’s first field goal in two of four games.
Yet, oddsmakers still have Anthony Davis with a higher probability ahead of James. Back James at +500 to score first.
Bet: LeBron James (+500)
