NBA First Basket Scorer Odds, Picks & Predictions: Warriors vs. Suns

The Phoenix Suns have the advantage of winning the first possession tonight. They have DeAndre Ayton, an athletic big man, and the Warriors lack height. That means the Suns will have the first opportunity to score. They only need a player that can score consistently. 

That player is Mikal Bridges. Bridges averages 15.4 points per game on 45.4% shooting. With Devin Booker still injured and Bridgers being the most consistent scorer left, it gives him the best chance to be the first player to score tonight. 

First Basket: Mikal Bridges (+750)
