Top NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Friday (12/30)

The NBA season is coming to an end. The final Friday slate of the season features some first basket plays.

Phoenix Suns are playing without Devin Booker. Pascal Siakam is the leading scorer and most reliable player for the Toronto Raptors. He is my pick for first basket. Phoenix is trying to figure out how to play without their all-star guard.

Minnesota Timberwolves are playing against Milwaukee Bucks. D’Angelo Russell is a good bet for Minnesota. Anthony Edwards is also a play for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have been the better first basket team recently. The Bucks have a poor defense recently and are missing Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday.

Nikola Jokic is the favorite for first basket bet for Friday's game between Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat. JOKic has been playing well recently and is on the short list for the MVP award. Miami has a poor post defense and give up a lot of first-basket shots to big men.
