The Western Conference Finals are still rolling (thankfully for us basketball fans), which means we have another shot to bet on a first basket scorer in the Dallas Mavericks-Minnesota Timberwolves matchup.
Through four games in this series, we’ve gone 50 percent on first basket scorers – a great start – with Luka Doncic cashing in Game 1 and Mike Conley doing so in Game 3.
Here’s a quick recap of who scored first in every game so far this series:
- Game 1: Luka Doncic
- Game 2: Daniel Gafford
- Game 3: Mike Conley
- Game 4: Kyrie Irving
Each game, I’ve been giving out two players that I think will score first, and while Game 4’s picks (Doncic and Karl-Anthony Towns) didn’t come through, Doncic did attempt the first shot of the game – he just missed it.
