Looking for quick thrill during the NBA playoffs on Thursday?
There are two massive Game 6 matchups in the Eastern Conference, and one way to lock in for the start of the game is by betting on a first-basket scorer.
Not only does this make the start of the game extremely entertaining, but it's also a chance to cash in on some favorable odds as well.
It's not easy to hit these bets, but using a combination of first baskets scored, first shot percentage, and some other stats, here's who I've narrowed it down to for Thursday's playoff action:
NBA First Basket Scorer Picks and Predictions
- Myles Turner First Basket Scorer (+550)
- Tyrese Maxey First Basket Scorer (+550)
Myles Turner First Basket Scorer (+550)
Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner has 14 first baskets on the season – the most of any player in action tonight – despite shooting the first shot in just 14.
