Looking to bet on a first basket scorer in the NBA tonight?
Betting on a player to score first is one of the more exhilarating NBA props out there, as it's settled quickly into the game and will put bettors on the edge of their seat in the game's opening moments.
While this is a tough market to handicap, I personally like to look at a few key statistics:
- Jump Ball Win Percentage
- First Shot Percentage
- First Baskets Scored
- Player Shots Per Game
Using some of these numbers, we can narrow down who the most likely player is to start with the ball and score first.
