Today’s Best NBA First Basket Scorer Player Prop Bets: Warriors vs. Celtics

Here are a few first-basket bets to consider for tonight’s NBA slate.

Although the Golden State Warriors don’t look nearly as good as they did last year, we were still getting a rematch game between the two best teams in the NBA last year.

Boston won the tip in the first game between these two teams, but Golden State scored the first basket.

The Warriors have only won 50% of the tip this season. But they’ve scored 66% of first baskets this year. Meanwhile, the Celtics have only earned 47% of first baskets while winning the tip 47% of the time.

The Warriors play solid defense even if they don’t win the tip to begin the game. Klay Thompson scored the first time and has 10 first baskets of the 29 made this season for the Warriors.

Let’s take a shot with Klay this time around too.

Bet: Klay Thompson (+600)
