Top NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (11/30)

Wednesdays are always the most exciting days of the week in the NBA. There are 13 games on the slate tonight. I've added multiple first-basket bets to consider for tonight's NBA slate below.

New Orleans Pelicans have won 70% of the tip over their last ten games. They have scored the first field goal in six of those games and it's taken them 2.1 shots to do it. Toronto has only won 50% over the last 10 games, and the team has scored its first goal 40% out of 40 times. Herbert Jones has started in each of last the ten and has been the main offensive player for the Pelicans. He's scored first bucket in five of these games in the past ten.

Los Angeles Clippers have won the tip 70% of the time over the last ten games. They have also scored the first field goal 70%. The Jazz has only won tip in four of 10 games and only scored first in 4 of them. Los Angeles won't have Paul George or Kawhi Leonard. John Wall usually comes off the bench, but he's not healthy. Marcus Morris has started in the past ten of those games, and he has scored six of team’s first shots.

Lakers have won the tip in five of their last ten games. The Blazers have only won three of the last 10 games and have scored just four first baskets in the same period. Lakers have needed 2.1 shots to score their first basket, whereas the Blazers took 3.4 shots per game. LeBron James has started in four of Lakers’ lastTen games, and he has scored the team”s first field goal in three games while Anthony Davis has the game first field-goal in two of four games so far. Oddsmakers still have AnthonyDavis with a higher probability ahead of LeBron. Back James at +500 to be the first player to shoot.
