NBA Saturday First Basket Predictions and Best Bets For Saturday December 10, 2022

In recent times, NBA first basket props have become one of the more popular prop bets for sports bettors to wager on. All of the major sportsbooks offer NBA odds on first basket scorer, so by using our predictive analytics and artificial intelligence model to identify where the edges lie on Saturday, December 10, you're giving yourself an advantage over the rest of the field.

Our super computer identifies both value bets and the players with the highest probabilities. While all the usual suspects will often feature in our NBA first basket predictions in the table below, it is unlikely you will ever see the likes of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum or Giannis listed as 'value bets' because the odds the sportsbooks put up for those guys are always extremely efficient - and that's where we come in.

Based on the above first basket scorer probabilities, the players listed below represent the most value in first basket player props markets for NBA games on Saturday, December 10, 2022. While it's obviously impossible for all of these guys to cash tickets for us, we actually don't need them to.

Given some of the first basket odds available, we'd only need one or two of these to hit for us to earn a nice payout.

While the sportsbooks focus on the top two or three guys from each game, we're able to evaluate every player, in every game, to unearth the edges that will give us the upper hand when it comes to long-term profitability.

Remember, the key to long term success when betting is being able to identify where there is an edge in the market, in other words, when the sportsbooks' odds aren't a true reflection of the actual likelihood of something happening.

BETS	PROB %	ODDS
K. Durant (Nets)	16.63%	+650
K. Kuzma (Wizards)	14.47%	+700
K. Irving (Nets)	13.91%	+850
